Sure the tamales might be cheap like 12 for just $10, or that's what it used to be when she would deliver to our work site and sell them out of the trunk of her car. But the meat to masa ration was way off, way too much masa and not enough meat, plus the size of these mini tamales was like 2 inches! That small a tamale, I'd need 4 or 5 to make a meal. You're way better off just getting the tamales at Costco ... not so much masa and bigger too.

Tried two of each chicken and pork red salsa tamales.Meat in both tamales was well seasoned and tasty with plenty of sauce inside as well. The masa was also well seasoned and flavorful in both. Moisture was perfect with my preferred masa consistency. Served with a side of green salsa that was delicious.Transplant from the Arizona Mexican border I've been in the Reno/Carson area for over 7 years.I've tried street vendor tamales, fundraising tamales, tamales from local restaurants, my all-time disappointment, FB marketplace $30 a dozen tamales. The Lady Tamales By far, the best tamales in this area I've tasted with the best per dozen prices.Parking: There is plenty of parking with a large lot and easy street access for an rv.

Had a big order for our family Christmas game night, and it was wonderful. The tamales were the big hit, and enchiladas were so cheesey and delicious. Would highly recommend big or small orders, great people, and a friendly vibe.

I haven't bought tamales from here in a while and the reason being is because every time I bought some tamales they were all masa and barley any meat. I'm talking about a pencil thin amount of meat in every tamale. And I went last week same thing I guess nothings

Clean location, quick friendly service and still a steal of a deal.
We are regulars here - the tamales are great, of course! The price is reasonable which is a big one for us since we have 5 kids…..the salsa is home made and AWESOME! Fidelina Suarez, the owner, is amazing, kind and provides great service!

I don't know what went wrong but the food has gone downhill. The tamales are basically the only good part and that's iffy.
