Tamales are always great. Fresh, friendly place. Champurrado is the best..won't buy it from anywhere else.

I like this place, the tamales are always consistent. A lot of reviews say that there isn't enough meant, what do you expect for $2.33? I think they're perfect and great taste.

Always good. The prices have gone up $1 since last year. It's okay, though. It's usually busy at any time you visit. Mostly during the winter. It's small inside and you need to park far unless you get lucky and park in front. Taste of the tamales de elite is amazing. The champurrado is good too!
