Description

The menu at this storefront centers on tamales packed generously with fillings, avoiding the dry texture common to lesser versions. Visitor favorites include the Oaxacan-style tamales, which come in three varieties stuffed with large chunks of pork, and the rich mole tamales. Tacos, quesadillas, tortas, and horchata round out the options. It is a no-frills Mexican spot where the service is fast, the staff is welcoming, and the portions are large relative to the modest prices.
