Description
Tamal fillings stretch beyond the classics to include Chipotle and Rajas Con Queso. To drink, there are traditional options like Agua de Jamaica and Agua de Horchata, as well as house-made pink lemonade and watermelon agua fresca. When the season is right, the kitchen also turns out a fresh gazpacho. The service is notably welcoming, with the owner, Jose, often on hand to offer recommendations and talk guests through the menu.
