Waited 3hrs to order and get food. The super tamale was good and looked pretty .Way over priced. $39 for two Super Tamales with rice and beans. The tamale is a large mass with very little
inside, topped with meat of choice and avacado.

Yo their tamales are no joke. First of all they're huge like the size of my forearms. Wish I took a picture but it was so 🔥 I freaking demolished it lol. The spices on it was amazing, so much filling and a just the right amt of masa. And not dried out at all super moist. A must try y'all 💯

You can't call to order you have to use the doordash and pick up in store. However I never got a notification that my order was ready. So by the time I went inside and got my pizza after their estimated 30 minutes it was a little cold. However it's only 6 minutes from my house I think it's the closest pizza place in El sereno. And the pizza was really good quality. Didn't skimp on the toppings

Came inside on a Thursday morning for breakfast. Absolutely delicious!

Surprised it was empty. My friend and I ordered and the staff was so welcoming and nice. Food was so fresh and fresh quality and taste.

Tamales breakfast, huevos rancheros, and the quesadilla did not disappoint at all! Coffee also was so good!!

Can't wait to return again! Highly recommend for breakfast. 🙌🙌

Very friendly customer service, I tried their Tamales for the first time and I was very satisfied with the flavor and the amount of filling that was Inside the Tamales. I just had to come back and order a few dozens of the green chicken and red pork Tamales for Christmas Eve. If you want tasty Tamales that are a good size come here. They do accept debit and credit but I did notice that the transactions are a bit glitchy with the machine they use so if you can, make it easier for your self and for the restaurant and bring cash instead. I'll be here Christmas eve to pick up my order however I will be back even after Christmas. OH! One more thing! The Champurado is also Really good. Don't forget to get your self some to go along with your tamales.

Still the best place to get Tamales from.
I also added a image of the current menu pricing.

This is a old school authentic Mexican Tamale restaurant with a twist. They have great flavors on a variety of traditional Mexican foods with tamales incorporated into the dish. Tamale omelet is my go to. My son enjoyed the torta. The different tamales are all savory. Dined in and tried to discover a new mix of flavors by combining my favorite tamales in my favorite dish. Went well. Service is welcoming and warm. They will help with the menu if you are new or want to try something different then your last combination. Get creative.
