Warm, welcoming staff

Some noted

Don't bother coming here. The prices are questionable and service is not too friendly.
— Fernando Manriquez

The tamales I bought were all dry. Rajas had no cheese whatsoever puro chile, bean tamale was drastically spicy.
— Denisse Ruiz

Customer service was good. Unfortunately, I just was not a fan of the tamales.

“You cannot go wrong.”

You cannot go wrong. Atole is phenomenal especially on cold days. Red chicken, green chicken, red pork, green pork, beans and cheese, pepper and cheese, sweet, such as strawberry, guayaba, coconut, and pineapple tamales! The lady who owns the place is wonderful and kind! Get one and eat on your way to the Mexican Art museum.

We ordered tamales for Christmas Eve and they were delicious! They were sweet enough to take our order one day beforehand. The food was ready for pick up on Christmas Eve.

“These tamales are so amazing.”

These tamales are so amazing! It’s like eating a cloud of tamale heaven! If tamales were an angel this would be the place to find them! Thank you for making me vegan tamales! Te amo mi tamaleria reina!

“After going to the National Museum of Mexican Art, I decided to look around and decide on a place to eat.”

After going to the National Museum of Mexican Art, I decided to look around and decide on a place to eat. After searching, I decided to try this place, and I was not disappointed. I ordered six tamales to go, and they give me a free one to try in the restaurant! I would advise anyone local or just in the area to try this place!

“VERY flavorful and the prices are great.”

VERY flavorful and the prices are great! However the red tamales weren’t spicy at all, and there wasn’t enough meat in them (especially the pork tamales). Still good though! And the lady was nice and patient with me… I’ll come back ^_^

“A good place to pick up tamales or atole.”

A good place to pick up tamales or atole. They have different flavors of atole, sweet potatoes, and guayaba. Coco and more. The tamales are also docent types, chicken, pork, cheese, beans, and sweet. Good food and service. There is paid parking on the street. I'll come back again.
