Sarinana's 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!...

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.

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).

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...

The Tamale Guy

Mexican restaurant

😠 So sad to see the state of this restaurant. Before the pandemic, my family would frequent The Tamale Guy and it was so pleasant. Now it’s just depressing. They never have anything in stock and there’s nowhere to sit, only one small table for two people. Where they used to have tables and a tv that p...
