Tried Tamales Maná and wow... obsessed. We got the jalapeño and the chicken tamales and both were so savory, flavorful, and straight up addicting. You can taste the freshness. The creama Mexicana they serve it with is honestly a must... so creamy and perfect with the masa. And the salsa? Fire. Not too spicy but full of flavor. They're quick, super friendly, and absolutely worth a try. Great spot to sit and eat too. Definitely going back! Maybe today... read more

Tamales Mana - 2 Tamale Combo - Mexican Near Me - Santa Rosa, California

Without a doubt the most sublime tamales in a 50mile+ radius. Every option is perfect, but I recommend the jalapeno with salsa rojo and salsa verde. But. if being the makers of the best tamales wasn't enough, Mana also serves the most delicious rice and perfectly cooked frijoles. A trifecta of perfection. You can't eat it there, but this is a container of delight that will transform any picnic table into a culinary extravaganza. Get there before they run out! Gracias, Mana! read more

Delicious flavor , moist , hot, soft , big portion .. honestly the best here in santa rosa. Also the green and red sauce fantastic read more

I'm not a huge fan of tamales. Mostly because anytime I've bought them it's al dough. The inside is hardly stuffed with any meat or cheese or beans. If I wanted dough, I'd eat bread or a tortilla. The tamales here are pretty descent though. Good size and the filling is a good portion. The red salsa pork and green salsa chicken tamales have great flavor! My favorite are the jalapeño and cheese tamales. It's hit or miss when it comes to the spice though. But the jalapeños do still add great flavor to the tamal. The ladies working there are so welcoming with smiles on their faces and working fast t get everyone taken care of during the busy rush hours. They offer a value meal of 2 tamales, rice and beans at a reasonable price. I. Recommend ordering that. The rice is delicious and the beans and so creamy! Overall, very pleased with this place read more

wonderful tamales , bought the last 6 jalapeño and chese at 1 :50 pm .! I wish they were open later because I live in Windsor . read more

best tamales in town, no lard, delicious fillings, get there early during holidays! Always buy extras for quick freezer meals.

Not much to say about ambiance and service. You drive up, step inside, order your tamales and you're on your way! But for tamale junkies this is the place. I can only attest to the quality of the pork tamale but I would think the masa would be the same in the others. We all know that the masa makes a tamale. It could be dry or soggy but masa here is perfect. The pork fantastic, spicy, flavorful and abundant! Just one hell of a tamale. I ordered a half dozen and thought one was a little on the small side so she threw it an extra tamale at no charge. Red or green sauce added at no fee. A great find don't miss it when you have that tamale craving ! Make sure to check the hours before making the trip. read more

Tamales Mana - Tamale con tres cupas de salsa verde - Mexican Near Me - Santa Rosa, California

Delicious tamales! They were all delicious, but the savory options of red pork and the green chicken were my favorites. I like to buy a dozen and freeze a few for rainy nights and even after reheating, they are moist and full of flavor. Just a tip, you'll have to be flexible if you order on DoorDash because what they say is available on there isn't always what they have when you get there. Don't worry though, you won't be disappointed on taste! read more

Excellent tamales for takeout. Besides the rice and beans in the lunch special, they only sell tamales, so don't come expecting the usual taco/burrito/etc options from the usual Mexican food place. Came for some takeout on a Thursday around 11:30. Street parking was easy. Friendly greeting from the man behind the counter. Place is very basic - no tables and no drinks case, just the server and his counter of tamales. Menu on the wall lists the kind of tamales available as well as the lunch special that comes with 2 tamales, rice and beans. You can choose any 2 flavor combo. Offers and accepted crema on top of the tamales and a serving of salsa. Red salsa has a good heat level and went well with the tamales. Based on others recommendations read more

Tamales Mana - Jalapeño cheese and red pork tamales lunch special - Mexican Near Me - Santa Rosa, California

Service was horrible. Should be a better way of informing the people waiting in line of what is left and still available. Waited for an hour to get to the counter for them just to tell me they only had pork and bean/cheese left and was sold out of everything else for the day. Was disappointed but still but a couple of each of pork and bean/cheese. Right after I paid, an entire tray of chicken was brought out. I was still standing at the counter and asked if I could get some since I was told they were out for the day. I was told NO and the person behind me got to order their chicken tamales. This does not feel right for a business to do. read more

Tamales Mana is right next to the Asian grocery store on Petaluma Hill Rd. The tamales are handmade daily with their secret salsas. They include red chili pork, mole chicken, green chili chicken, bean & cheese, jalapeno cheese, sweet raisin, and sweet pineapple. When I was there around noon on a Saturday, they only had a few flavors left. I ordered their green chili chicken lunch place with comes with 2 tamales, a side of beans and rice all for $11! The tamales was moist which goes good with their secret red and green sauce. The shredded chicken inside was plentiful and flavorful. For the price and amount of food, it's worth it. The owners are very nice. They also have a to-go cart outside but at that time I was there, no one was manning it. I would come back in a heartbeat. Delicious tamales, good prices and enjoy supporting small, local authentic businesses. read more

The best tamalaes, they often run out before closing so best to go early. I believe i've tried all of them and I like them all. Take out only read more

Although the tamales are good, the employees are rude and seem to be in a rush when there were no other customers.

The tamales they sell in the parking lot of jack in box Sebastopol rd are always undercooked

Just ordered 3 shredded chicken and 3 bean and cheese tamales , the masa is super moist and fresh so moist in fact the outside will stick to the corn husk , but a big deal these were the only 2 varsities left at 12:45 on a Friday do just beware come early I believe they open at 6:00 a.m. .. service is great price is great only $3.00 each including tax, I really want to try the other tamales that were sold out already, the shredded chicken is tender and a 3.7 for me however the bean and cheese is a 4.6 and was delicious they gave me salsa too great little spot I will add to my review after I try all of them for now I highly reccomend read more

The tamales were delicious. The maza has great flavor and it is moist. Everything was great. I would say they could've put a little bit more filling in the tamales. But the flavor of everything was amazing!! I'll definitely be going back when I want tamales. If spicy is not your thing, then get the red sauce on the side it could be too hot for you. I forgot to take a picture of before I started eating. read more

This place serves fresh daily tamales! They have a wider variety than traditional pork, chicken, or rajas y queso. Check out their Mole, green chili, Bean and cheese, and two types of sweet tamales. They sell lunch plates, individually or by the dozen. You really can't go wrong. read more

Why didn't I try this place sooner; driven by it over a hundred times and yesterday decided to stop. Very authentic feel as the inside is much as you'd find in Mexico which means very basically laid out with no attempt at "up scaling" the interior pickup area. So, in a word, perfect. The Chicken Mole is the one to have though we got three of each for two people. Best $15 spent on food for two outside the home in this "distancing" era. Highly recommended. Will be going back often! read more

I've never had the rice or beans but hope to give the lunch combo a try soon. This is a go-to spot for me to pick up tamales for breakfast for my team occasionally. My favorites are the red pork and the jalapeño cheese. Both the red and green sauces are delicious. The tamales are so tender and flavorful. The green Chile chicken has gotten good feedback from my colleagues. Highly recommend and very reasonably priced. read more

Came across this place on yelp while looking for a legit place that makes tamales. After a week of hesitation I went for it and called to place 2 dozens, hoped for the best and relied on these good reviews. One dozen de puerco rojo and one of jalapeño con queso (rajas). Picked them up, the place is so cute, it smelled amazing it immediately brought memories of my abuelita's kitchen when she made hand fresh tortillas. That smell of fresh masa from fresh crushed maíz. If you know what I mean you'll know.The customer service is great, super friendly. The tamales were really good! They aren't my abuelita's tamales BUT they were so close to them. Each tamal has great flavor and has the perfect amount of filling and masa. Let me tell you, they are even better a day after with some cafecito in the morning. Overall delicious, I'm so glad I found this little gem. If you need tamales this place your p read more

Tamales Mana - Tamal de puerco rojo. 2 day ok tamal still delicious - Mexican Near Me - Santa Rosa, California

This is kind of a hole in the wall with no inside dining. A bit hard to find too. You order your tamales and then take them home. But it was a revelation for me and turned what I thought I knew about tamales upside down. Some examples: 1) none of their masa (the corn mixture) has lard in it! I always thought lard was an essential ingredient, but these tamales were delicious! Perfectly seasoned and moist. At $2.75 a tamale, they're a steal! 2) these are large tamales, there's no way, I could eat more than two. 3) I always thought the meat filling determined how good a tamale was. Not here! All the meat fillings were delicious, but the star is the perfectly made masa! Tamales Mana is open 6am until 2pm (Monday thru Saturday). They are closed on Sundays. The woman told me they accept credit cards, but I noticed everyone giving them cash. (I had cash, so I used it too.) I ended up buying 2 each of the three different meat tamales, 1 chorizo, and 1 bean and cheese. I liked the chicken in mole and the green chicken the best. The bean and cheese was ok, but the chorizo was very Lime-y. But it was good. The beans and rice were just ok. I would stick with the tamales. Again, I will stick with the chicken tamales. However, they were out of the sweet dessert tamales, so I'll have to try those in the future. And there will be a future. Great tamales for only $2.75? Like The Terminator said, "I'll be back!" read more

We ordered the lunch special and I would totally recommend it but you should get your order in as soon as you can because they were already out of the Chicken Mole tamales at 12. The masa is great. The beans are just okay but the tamales were pretty great. I'd go back. I also loved that the containers were paper, there were tons of ways to get them to cater, a ton of choices of meat, parking was easy, the whole place looked clean and the staff was friendly. I didn't see any bathrooms. I took a picture of the outside because it's not immediately apparent that it's on the side of the building, if you haven't been there before. read more

Great tamales- I don't think I can add much to what everyone here has mentioned before. Tasty masa, great filling, and fair prices. Just be sure to be there early otherwise you'll leave with the second choice. read more

Ok I was in there this morning 6/27/23 I hope the owner checks the video, I ordered 6 tamales @ $2.50 = $15.00 and I purchased a can soda total $20.00!?? $5 for a can of soda?? Ohh and the cashier didn't ring it up, put the $20 in his pocket. Check the video between 9:00am-9:30am. This is the type of people you have working there. read more

Great tasting tamales with an even better pricepoint! Happy to have finally found a decent tamale near me!

The tamales here are so good that I was in line four Saturdays in a row. My favorite is the red pork but the green chile chicken is a close second. Prices are really great compared to places in Sonoma that charge double for their inferior products. I can't name names bcuz that would be indiscreet ( El Molina Central ). Do yourself and all your friends & family a huge favor and get the hell in here. Maybe I'll see you? read more

Tamales Mana - Come on in - Mexican Near Me - Santa Rosa, California

Brought home an assortment of tamales. Hands down these are the best, most delicious tamales made in Santa Rosa, CA. Moist & flavorful. Abuela (grandma) would be proud. If you have a gringo tongue and can't tolerate extra spicy then beware of the red salsa. It is pretty damn hot. If you plan to eat the tamales lunch plate inside the place you'll see that the room is pretty ugly. No effort to create any ambiance at all. Gobble & go. read more
