We tried their buffet everything was fantastic. Highly recommend. Tries the lengua in green sauce tastes just like home; reminded me of my gramma's recipe. Tortillas were homemade. read more

These tamales are definitely a winner! The best I've tasted! the masa was absolutely perfect! Very tasty, silky smooth, and not cakey or dry at all, which makes it a winner in my book!! I tried the beef, chicken and pineapple and none of them disappointed, they were all excellent! A little pricey, but worth it! I definitely will be going back and recommending this place with percent confidence. You will not be disappointed. So happy I have found a place that makes phenomenal tamales that taste like they just came off the stove from your own home! read more

I heard about this place from my sister so I decided to stop by since it's close by my workplace. I tried the pork tamale, and it was delicious! The meat was seasoned and the red sauce was very good. The masa was good, could have used a little sauce for extra flavor. I will be back to try other tamales! read more

The café de olla coffee was good, the location is a small hole in the wall with only outside seating. I'm a picky chilaquiles critic, so I'm sure most people would be delighted, but I felt the white raw onion overpowered the flavor. The meat was okay, what I call cheap meat, with an off texture and flavor. The salad verde was delicious, and the rice was okay it was very soft and mushy like bean consistency. There were too many raw pieces of white onion that also threw off the flavor. Overall, it was a good average plate of chilaquiles, hence the 3 stars. The location was clean, but there was no menu when I arrived, so I just ordered what I wanted without knowing what was available. read more

This place is tiny and I can't comprehend why they would set up a buffet. Food is not covered. One door to come in and out from. While you're in line by the door expect to keep moving for the people eating from the nasty buffet. Unfortunately they don't make enough tamales knowing how busy they are. Tamales are expensive close to $5. You get the same at Cardenas and they are ready to grab and eat. I don't see the difference and what the big deal is. Besides line being long the cashier is lost . Takes her 10 minutes to take your order and I between she's asking other people what they ordered and starts looking for there order. Walks away to pack an order when there's already 3 other people working in the back. I don't recommend this place , but that's just my opinion but can't say I didn't warn you. read more

Their beef tamales are hot and delicious. I prefer their beef over their pork tamales. Their chips and salsas tasted like it was made fresh. read more

I was craving tamales, as I don't usually get to have them, they were overall good tamales. I had Pork/cheese/Pina, the pork was my least favorite, while the cheese was my favorite of the three. The cool thing about this place is, now you can have tamales anytime you crave it, instead of waiting til Fall/Winter. read more

Honestly, I was skeptical about the place because of the prices and the lack of good pictures but decided to take one for the team and try them out. I didn't think anything could justify the price of the tamales but honestly they are larger than most and hefty. I would say it's about 1.5 times the size of a regular tamal. I got the green chicken and red pork and they were both really great ! I also had the asada sope, while I'm not sure if the sope was made in house or not the flavors were still great. Also i can't forget about their guacamole , it was delicious ! Definitely recommend people try it out ! read more

All their savory tamales are great. Their masa is flavorful and not dry or mushy. Most of their fillings are good too. The chile/cheese is my favorite. They were out of the elote ones though when I went. I suspect that's also very good. Wanted to try the pina for the sweet ones, but that was out as well. So I got the strawberry. Unfortunately, it was weirdly pink, and had a very artificial taste to it. Even the kids didn't want it. Their descriptor for the flavor was "cough syrup." Having said that, I'd definitely go back for their savory tamales. Very good. read more

Pricing is reasonable when considering the high level food quality and hospitality offered at this establishment. Enthusiastically recommend! read more

This buffet is ridiculously good!!! Everything is super fresh. The seafood salads/ceviche were amazing. Every single entree was fantastic. Beans and rice are very good. I'm a huge fan of this place... very reasonably priced... $25.. for a multitude of choices. Handmade tortillas and they make quesadillas.. don't get them.. you won't stop eating them!! Agua frescas are super fresh and fantastic.. but the best part.. the service. Everyone is super nice and very helpful. They have a sense of urgency and super attentive. Will definitely be back... it's fantastic!!!! read more

Living in the IE for over 15 years, it's hard to find a good authentic place. This place is actually under new management and they have a variety of Mexican dishes. Everybody is very polite super friendly. The food is really good and I am picky about food they actually have something going on Friday through Sunday. They have a buffet now where you get to try a little bit of everything. The ambience is great. The buffet consist of many Guisados and posole also seafood and homemade taco station. read more

There are no seating tables inside so it is more of an order to go spot. Once I walked in, I was quickly greeted with the staff the tamale menu is posted up front and the staff told me they also do tacos and burritos. This was not posted on the menu so not sure if it was just for the day or part of the standard menu. I ordered a mix of chicken, pork, and cheese tamales. Pork and cheese were my favorite. They come out straight from the steamer so it is nice and hot when you receive them. Tamales had a good balance of masa and good amount of meat/cheese which was definitely a plus. The chicken was a tad bit dry, but the pork and cheese were moist and delicious. Will definitely be back for those two flavors and interested in trying the strawberry and pineapple. read more

Amazing!!! I'm so glad the cheese tamales are good. I've been looking for a place close to home with good tamales. I live in Montclair and had been driving to El Monte for good tamales. Not anymore! I will definitely be a regular here. The staff was also super sweet and quick to help me. read more

Recently moved to the area, and I've had the pleasure of coming to this establishment three times. On all occasions i've ordered the same, the Chilaquiles Rojos and Tamales Verdes de Pollo and Rojos de Puerco. I haven't had a dry one yet! They're very filling and have the perfect ratio of masa and protein . Chilaquiles portions are also great and the ingredients come served in a bowl, you can ask to have them separated as well and they'll kindly do so. The Chips were nice and crisp , sauce was tasteful with an enjoyable spice, Eggs were perfectly made and it had the right amount of cheese! Pepino agua also hit the spot. I notice they cater as well. Seems to be a family owned business and they're very courteous and welcoming. I believe i had the pleasure of meeting the owner and she was so nice and made me feel like if i was visiting one of my aunts , just as home. It's in a quiet corner. I didn't get a chance to take a picture of the food but i will edit this post when i come again, i will come again lol read more

My family has been to Tamales Jalisco and ordered to go, 2 times now. We all agree, these are our favorite purchased tamales, possibly ever. There is a great ratio of filling to masa. The masa itself is seasoned and it's delicious. This will be our go to spot for tamales! We have had the beef, pork, chicken, pineapple, and cheese tamales. The crowd favorite was the beef tamale. read more

Pricy Tamales but the tamale size is fairly large, and the beef had a good portion of meat as well as flavor.

This place is as good as everyone says. Their tamales are great. Chilaquiles, great. Such good food!

First time here and it was not the best! My tamales did not look like pictures posted by others! The side green salsa is awful and the salsa rojo has no flavor just spicy. Will not be back for tamales. I may consider giving their food a try.MAYBE!! read more

Best Chilaquiles I have ever had! The coffee de olla is delicious and their service is wonderful! Found our new fav place!

$48.00 for 4 tamales & 2 sides of rice 2 sides of beans. Also took them 20 minutes to put tamales in a bag. Will not return.

Buen servicio, bien amables. Muy Buenos tamales. Les ponen Mucha carne, y están grandes. Ay papa...

Updated review: I noticed that they changed the cheese and I think it's an excellent good choice they did! It really helped make their cheese / chile tamales EVEN BETTER. This place is truly legit! So tasty, we sent our uncle to buy some and he loved it so much he purchased 2 1/2 dozen of each flavor for Christmas. Our cousin has already devoured 6 in one sitting bc he loved them so much. The sizes of these are big, the meat to masa ratio is perfect, meat and masa are both MOIST, and the spice is perfect. We are local neighbors and see it on a daily!! So we have been excited waiting for this place to open. They are great! Definitely give them a shot!! We are very picky with where we get our tamales from and this place is heaven sent!! So glad to have them in the neighborhood!! Will definitely be returning for more very soon and often!!! read more

Great tamales!! With the perfect amount of masa and lots of meat!! This is my new favorite place for tamales.

We love to see a business with a good rating on Yelp so we decided to check this little spot out. Customer service was amazing - super friendly & helpful in making suggestions. Their carne asada & al pastor tacos hit the spot. Tamales were excellent - the masa was moist and the filling (chicken with green & beef with red) was tasty. We bought more tamales on our way out & will definitely be back to try the other items on their menu. read more
