Sarinana's Restaurant

Mexican restaurant

👍👍 Not normally a hard shell taco eater, but these were EXCEPTIONAL! They were recommended to me and did not disappoint. It was so good because we ate it there when they were almost too hot to hold. The service was also great and food was served quick. Street parking was also very easy.

Tamales Guadalajara

Mexican restaurant

😠 The tamales are salty and dry. I had high expectations because they are from Guadalajara and the food there is delicious. Unfortunately, dining in is even more disappointing. The coctel de camaron has shrimps smaller than the ones that cup-o-noodle has and they only give you four pieces. Seriously!...

Grandma's Tamales Restaurante

Mexican restaurant

🫤 The food is ok, in my opinion, Grandma's Tamales food on California Ave. has more flavor and soul. Also, the customer service at the California Ave. location is more friendly and welcoming compared to this location. The cashier is not very customer service oriented, both times we've been there, it f...

Money Pancho Mexican Restaurant, Inc.

👍👍 One of the best if not the best local Mexican restaurants in all of Ventura County. Their customer service is also very good, they are very attentive and hospitable. Our waiter was named Abel and was on top of all our needs. Great experience all together.

Tamales Los Angeles

Mexican restaurant

👍👍 This is one of my favorite tamale spots in Los Angeles. I ordered the red pok tamales with a medium order of champurado. It was all perfect. I'll continue to go here as long as I'm in the area. During the holidays, it gets hectic.

Tamales House

Mexican restaurant

👍 They claimed to be the best tamales in sfv so I had big expectations. They weren't the BEST I've had but they were pretty close. Plus the staff was very nice and I loved that they had a lot of options. I also tried their breakfast burrito, got bacon for my protein option, and I gotta say, I loved it...

Carolina Tamales

Mexican restaurant

👍👍 First time trying this place. I went on Wednesday to get a sopa of albóndigas for my son. He loved it !!! It’s had a good mix of vegetables and albóndigas (meat balls). He ate every last bit of it. The pick up was easy. What I really like is that it’s a small family owned business. It’s a small kitc...

Tamales Vega

Restaurant

😠 I guess I’m the only one very unhappy with the tamales. Bought 4 dozen for Christmas dinner. Literally no cheese in the cheese ones. Masa so dry and no flavor. The chicken was so dry. So unhappy and on top of that no one was happy with them. I literally have 2 dozen still in the fridge.

Tamalería La Doña

Mexican restaurant

😠 If I could give zero stars I would! By far the worst tamales I’ve ever had! So disappointed! The masa was raw with no meat in sight, the guy at the counter was so discouraging (I should of seen the signs) he almost didn’t want to sell anything as much as he didn’t want to be there. I was visiting Ca...
