Specialist in Tamales. Only two types left when we came: pork and chicken fillings. Both are delicious and fulfilling.

These tamales are so delicious and authentic! I have so far only tried the mild red and green spicy – packed with meat and large size, 3 are very filling for me and I’m a big eater. Staff is friendly. This is not a sit down restaurant, you order to go, and they do run out fairly quickly which is why you should go close to when they open if you want a specific kind. If you are craving authentic tamales, you need to order from here!

So so good. Super fresh tamales. Fast and friendly pick up window service. There are some spicy options too:).

Amazing service! Good food, the only downside is that they are out of fried pies until the new year…I recommend trying this place for sure.

Small place. Friendly staff. Prices are decent but food is flavor less. I guess they only really stay open due to the lack of tamale vendors in the area. Something is better than nothing!

We drove 1 hour for tamales! To get home and notice they gave us the wrong tamales! We ordered 3 dozens of red tamales and got all green! We called several times and no one answered! Went back to the place to complain. We understand everyone makes mistakes. Although I didn’t appreciate the horrible customer service we got from a man that works there! He yelled at us for them making a mistake! Refused to change out the tamales and wouldn’t give us our money back! I will not be coming back to this place!

These tamales are fantastic! Authentic! Delicious! Verde are spicy but not too spicy. Rojos are delicious. Both have plenty of meat filling. Lucked out & was able to get some sweet this time-pineapple & strawberry! All flavors sell out super fast-get there early. They close when they sell out so they could be closed when you get there. Worth the ride.

Great tamales and they open at 4am on weekdays. The cheese tamales are to die for.

Love the green tamales, the red ones are too dry and not spicy at all. Champurado is alright but there is a man that works here and always has the worst customer service even when asking simple questions about the food or the business.
