Grandma’s tamales

First time eating here, it was hot as hell... but worth the 40min wait, next time i know to go when its not peek hours you place order at the window and they bring your food out to your table, dining is all out doors covered and with ceiling fans going full blast.

Rarely order menu. Scared of fat, stinky broth or rubbery menudo. This one was cooked perfectly. No smell, good chile sauce and perfectly cooked menudo tripe. Also tried goat Birria. Very good. A little spicy for my preference but very good nonetheless. Homemade corn tortillas-AMAZING! ordered 2 chicken and 2 pork tamales to go. Pork was excellent. Chicken was a bit salty. But would definitely try again. Sooo glad we tried it! Will be back!!!
