Description

Beyond the tamales, the kitchen serves up tortas and nachos, accompanied by a notably thick, flavorful salsa verde. The tamales preparados are a highlight—generously sized, packed with chicken, and free from excess grease. Because the space is compact with very limited seating, it is ideal for takeout. The owners run the counter with a welcoming warmth, offering large portions at highly reasonable prices.
