I am Mexican American and experienced in preparing and celebrating our cultural favorites at reasonable prices. I stopped in and ordered from the location that had an offensive sewer odor as I approached the counter. The prices are outrageous @ $50/dozen for my 1/2-doz chicken and chile verde and 1/2-doz cheese and jalapeño tamales. It was odd that no chile verde sauce was available for my order, as that is how it is usually done. They were also out of the chile colorado con carne de puerco tamales. Bummer. If you’re going to sell tamales, do it right - without cutting corners, while jacking the price up. Adios, muchachos.

Ok tamales but I've definitely had better. The salsa was very good though.

Very hot excellent food we picked up. The refried beans were without the gritty bean skins that Taco Bell has. They're just perfect? The rice was steaming when I opened the to go box.The overall taste wasn't too salty on anything.I didn't know they had other choices besides Tamales.The Tamales were just what I remembered from San Diego when I was a child. Authentic.

If you like roaches and rats go here, the people running the place aren’t clean and neither is this “restaurant”. So many other places to get good sanitary food… steer clear of this filth.Wheelchair accessibility: The owner likes to park in the handicap spot all day also BREAKING THE LAW!

These tamales are so insanely good. I will find every person who complains about the chips or service and fight them. A bbq pork, cheesy jalapeño, and sweet corn tamale, in that order, is the perfect three course meal.

Killer food. The service was top notch. My toddlers manhandled their chicken tamales. We love this place and 10/10 will be coming back. Possibly tomorrow. Don't judge me.
