Some noted
Overrated. More green sauce than chicken. I'll stull to my Diversy & Austin spot. Chris Dolo be overselling spots. Lol.
Dry Tamales tasted old and spoiled. She over charged by a lot straight to my face unless each tamale is 3.75 each.
Norma is dropping the ball. Cold and old smelling tamales.

“Never again too over hyped paid $36 for 4 of these .”
Never again too over hyped paid $36 for 4 of these . Not worth it all. Barely any chicken or masa. All sauce.

“My boyfriend and I road our bikes today.”
My boyfriend and I road our bikes today. Gorgeous weather and delicious tamales make my day 100% magical. I got 6 cheese and pablano peppers, 3 green 3 red pork tamales. The cheese is always my favorite anywhere I go. These where top 2 I've ever had. Can't wait to go back for more!!! ♡♡♡♡ pork was great, favored red, going back to try chicken and hot chocolate.

“Red and green are great.”
Red and green are great. Both are slightly spicey, possibly too spicy for most of you people but very good and fresh
