I placed an order for 12/23 of 25 Tamales. First the man who answered could not speak English so he…read morehad to put me on hold to find someone. The lady who came to the phone was awesome. Barely spoke English but I was able to understand her. She took my payment over the phone and I gave her my order. When I came to get the food it was still very warm so as I got to my car I wanted to try one but it was too greasy so I wanted until I got home because I didn't have napkins. I didn't think nothing of it because I had just got them. BUT as I got home & the grease was so much i guess as I was driving some spilled out onto my trunk carpet. Now I'll have to end up cleaning grease out of my trunk (luckily it's a plastic liner). I have never seen this much grease in Tamales. Usually I make them but I had surgery so I couldn't. I took each Tamale out & put them on paper towels. Paper towels were soaked with Lard. So I had to do it again. Again the paper towels got soaked. At the bottom of the container I was able to get over 1 cup of lard/grease. I left the Tamales on the towels to get the grease off. Over night I wanted some so bad I just ate 4. It was so greasy I got sick to my stomach (sharp pains all day & night) & couldn't go (poop) for days cuz the grease. I paid $78 for them & had to end up throwing them away cause it was too greasy. I have never seen so much Lard. The photos attached is just before I put them in the trash. And a day of having them on paper towels to get the grease off. Each one was saturated with lard. This ruined my Christmas cause I was sick to my stomach for days. & was not able to celebrate like we usually do with Tamales on Christmas.

They've been in business for over two generations, and all of the ladies who work there are extremely friendly and they go above and beyond to provide outstanding customer service! I'm 70 years old, and if I were younger I would love to work there. They're doing it "ALL right" to still be in a thriving bakery business in our struggling times. I get my holiday orders in early, and once you become a regular customer you'll understand why! They work endlessly to make sure that they have taken care of their customers wants and needs long before Christmas Eve. They close the bakery from the afternoon on Christmas Eve, and they stay closed until after the New Year! We all realize how important it is for their staff to enjoy the holidays with their own families and friends, so we make sure that we're set with our bakery orders and needs before Christmas Eve. We'll be in line and happily waiting for them to open their doors again after the New Year! Thank you for the years of kindness and quality baked goods, coupled with outstanding customer service and hospitality In our community! Sincerely from, Kimberly Ann Hall

The grease was so bad it soaked through the wax paper the wrap is displayed in, as well as a second wax paper they wrapped around the entire wrap, a stack of napkins AND the paper bag. Wild. We also ordered their "house made" chai after asking if it was really sweet. The girl helping us said "it's not a sugar bomb" which struck me as a weird phrase but after tasting it, that's exactly what it is. Also, a big brand chai tea bag was dropped into the cup...I wouldn't describe a tea bag as being "house made". Won't be back.
