Love these tamales. Been coming here for years. They are fresh and the mass to meat ratio are perfect!! The chicken and cheese ones are little on the spicy side. But soooo delicious!! :)

I have been coming here for over 15 years, it is not far from my job so my cowoker and I try to eat here at least twice a month. The food tastes almost as good as my mom's cooking from scratch. It is very authentic and fresh, it has that homemade flavor. My favorite thing to eat here is the bandera burrito, you pick your choice of meat (I always get half asada and half chicken) and it is smothered in both red sauce and the green sauce which are equally delicious! They also have a house chile sauce that is amazing and comes in a plastic bottle you can squeeze it out of upon request. I will always be a customer at this place.

Great tamales here! They let us order some about 30 minutes prior to closing on Christmas Eve which was nice! You can only order 1/2 dozen or full dozen of one kind. You can't mix like 2 beef, 2 pork, etc it has to be 1/2 dozen pork, 1/2 dozen chicken etc. I found that out after the lady was kinda rude about it. She didn't explain it well so she was getting frustrated when I kept telling her Im ordering a dozen, but wanted to pick different kinds within the dozen. She didn't explain that you can't mix them so she was getting mad I didn't understand and at the end I said oh so you can't mix for a 1/2 dozen she said oh no, no mix. Besides that it was easy and fast and let me tell you the tamales are so delicious! We found our new tamale spot and will be back for more. We ordered the chicken and pork, pork is spicy, but I love spicy food so I was in heaven. The flavors are very good and they have a decent amount of meat. Could be filled a little more and slightly bigger, but hey I guess I'll just have to order more next time. I'd say try this place next time I'm sure you're going to love the taste of these tamales!
