Loved the taste. Masa was just right. The chicken was spicy but delicious. I will be going back for more.
This place is so good! I parked at the corner where their address is and looked in every direction for a shop. Then I saw the umbrella and two ladies sitting under it. That's the place! Everyone where I work was thrilled when I brought tamales instead of donuts for our mid morning break. I'll be back.
