They helped me decide what items to serve and quantities of each to make sure there was plenty of food, and in the end everything turned out amazing! Will be ordering from them again for sure.

EVERYONE LOVES THESE GIANT GORDITAS!!!!…read more They know their customers here and treat everyone like family. Plus, they'll even manage a massive order for an entire film set in, like, twenty minutes (though definitely be nicer than we were and call in advance if you need that). Thank you everyone!

The bad: They don't have any garlic dipping sauce for the kebabs Also another thing that really broke my heart was the way the chefs were arguing today. I sat next to the kitchen and the chef with the beanie today was yelling very bad at the other chef and mocking him as well because he wasn't moving fast enough or I'm not sure why. Unfortunately that made my experience terrible I almost wanted to stand up and tell the beanie guy something he was so angry it was disturbing . It made my food taste terrible because someone with so much anger cooked it. I hope the manager can see this review and talk to the man that wears a beanie with a clown on it. I hated seeing an adult bully another adult especially since I had my 3 year old with me.

Soo goood! Called ahead for a pick up order…read more Ordered 5 asada tacos with cilantro onion and salsa on side Tacos come with cheese as well (nice surprise as it pulled everything together) I don't usually like cheese on my tacos but these had a great balance of flavor and were made with love! Guy who took my order was very very kind and hard working. I came during a rush, it's a small place with probably 10 tables total and it's a very casual setting in a plaza with a lot of different stores and supermarkets. The sign is pretty small so keep an eye out but I would 100% come here again. My to go container came with lemons also and they do not skimp out on anything! Portions are great for the price - 5 tacos for $15

PSA: THEY CLOSE AT 7:30 PM…read more Google and Yelp say this place closes at 8. We called to place a takeout order at 7:15pm and we're on our way already. The guy who was taking our order asked me what time we'd be there because they close at 7:30. I told him we would be there a few minutes after 7:30 and that if they were about to close it was fine, we could order somewhere else. The guy insisted and was very nice and let me place an order with them. I got a wet burrito de asada with green sauce and it was so good! Their green sauce was spicy and had a nice brightness to it. I would definitely order this again, especially with the amazing customer service. We also got a chicken burrito and I think they use the fajita chicken to make it so there were green bell peppers in it, which was interesting. I wouldn't get the chicken burrito again but the wet burrito was really good. If you want great service and tasty food, I'd recommend this place.

I love coming here for authentic Mexican food!…read more I usually come on the weekends when they serve menudo and pozole. The pozole is so savory and delicious. They load it up with meat and hominy. They give you all the condiments on the side so you can prepare it how you want and they give you tostadas on the side. The burrito mojado with green salsa is also delicious! It's super huge and loaded with meat. They are definitely not stingy. The salsa isn't too spicy if you're looking for more spice you can go with the red salsa. They are always super fast here and it does get busy on the weekends. The inside of the restaurant is pretty big so there is plenty of space and tables to sit at.

Finally, my husband and I had a chance to dine in on Sunday. We got there around 10:30 am. The parking lot was packed but found parking on the side street. Once inside, we waited less than 5 minutes, someone got up and we sat down. The waitress came over right away to take our order. My husband ordered the costillitas en chile rojo with rice and beans. It was so good. That is one of the popular dishes. I decided to get the Menudo, it was so Delicious, it even had some pasta meat and some hominy. This included homemade corn tortillas. It is so nice to see all the hard working ladies in the kitchen, especially the ones making the tortillas, now that is a special gift to manually make them! We really enjoyed the food, next time I will order the tortillas to go ahead of time, since it takes awhile for them to prepare. Service was Excellent, especially the waitress, she was so attentive!

I came to the Alhambra Farmers Market and discovered The Original Tamale, and I'm so glad I did…read more The tamales here are absolutely delicious--super moist, flavorful, and very large and filling. They're $5 each, which is well worth it for the quality and portion size. My boyfriend and I both got the pollo tamales, and they were a solid 10/10. Excellent flavor and perfectly cooked. Customer service was also great--very friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend stopping by if you're at the market.

The tamales are DELICIOUS, very FILLING, so FLAVORFUL AND MOIST! Beef and red sauce, pork with green sauce and the chili and cheese are my favorite.
