Came here to pick up some tamales and had a great time. The tamales are absolutely to die for!! Their champurrado is also phenomenal!! If I visit LA again, I am 100% visiting this place for breakfast again.

The menudo and pozole were really good. Tasted authentic and not store bought. There agua frescas were good as well. I’m definitely coming back if I’m in the area.

Ordered a large menudo which taste real good and clean. The tamales were also a good size and real good for $2.50 each. My only complaint is the tamales were $30 a dozen which seems quite high especially when you can go up the street to Maria’s Tamales and get some that are just as good for $22 a dozen.

Cafe Tizon was our choice for our office Christmas party fare this year. Their pork, chicken and cheese tamales were VERY good and we know good tamales. Very nice staff gave us chili to go with the tamales – it was delicious!!!!

This place has the best tamales. They are stuffed with so much filling and the masa has sauce mixed into it so it is not flavorless. If you want a delicious tamale this is the place to go.

THE TAMALES ARE OK. A BIT DRY N NOT THAT MUCH SAUCE. I GOT 7 TAMALES AND A CHAMPURRADO FOR $26. I FEEL OVER PRICED. I’D PREFER TO STAY AT MARIAS BAKERY. REALLY MOIST N FULL OF MEAT FOR ALMOST HALF THE PRICE.

My wife loves their menudo from here. She said is the best take out menudo she’s ever had. So I make the drive for her since it’s around 15 mins from our house to get it for her when she wants it. They have really good tamales and I love the salsa that comes with them. Pozole is good too. I love their breakfast burrito, it has that home cooked feel to it. All of their food has that home cooked feel to it.

I should’ve taken pics but it wouldn’t have done this place justice. Small family owned business and OMG!!! the tamales.. They’re big, soft, and full of flavor. The best one I thought was the chicken but the pork was just as good. We also had the Pozole, which was also good… Must give this spot a try… I definitely will be going back and putting in my future tamale orders here
