We had tamales with chicken and green sauce. They were super bland. Had a strawberry and cream cheese tamale which was disappointing. I thought it might have strawberries in it, but no. Tastes like they put strawberry syrup in the masa that's it. Nice people, good service, clean.Parking: Small strip mall, parking was tight.

Now simply called Tamales House (on Nordhoff). Been coming here since 2000s when my kids were attending OLP School. A whole in the wall. This time, I bought some for potluck. Everyone who tasted it at the party loved it. The masa is cooked to perfection! When you place your order, they ask if you like to buy it cold or hot. I always get them hot. It is to freeze/ref any leftovers. They have a wide variety: chicken, beef, pork, strawberry, corn, spinach, etc. My fave is the jalapeño and cheese flavor. And, don't forget to ask for the salsa verde. ?

The food is mostly traditional and prepared from natural products. Not for everybody. But everything is delicious and the staff is nice.

Local guide here, if you're looking for good tamales and champurrado this is the place. They have to be some of the best tamales ive had next to my moms. I'd definitely recommend this place to anyone looking to get their tamale fix.

I love this place, when I lived in Los Angeles I would often drive down there. I now live in Northern California and I was there during the Christmas holidays and stopped by for my fix and took some back home with me?

Food, tamales are delicious, but most of the time I go there is hard to find a parking sport (based on my experience)

Small hole in the wall spot. Tamales are delicious specially the cheese and Jalapeño ones. Ladies are sometimes rude I keep coming specially during winter because who can resist to tamales and a good champuradoParking: Very limited parking

Good customer service and amazing food!!! We tried all the tamales but the chicken one was dry and the mole was our favorite! Chile rellenos was okay too but the tamales are the star of the show!!!! Will return

I would share photos but we ate everything. The best sope I have ever had - El pastor deliciousness. I also ordered tamales at the end of the night, which can be a risk because they can sometimes be dry or overcooked if it's late.. These were tender, flavorful and larger than average. We have a new favorite place!
