I stumbled upon this gem during my visit to the area, and I'm so glad I did! The variety of tamales available is impressive, but the standout for me was the chicken with mole. It was rich, savory, and had just the right amount of spice. The staff was friendly and helpful, guiding me through their menu. I also appreciated that it’s family-friendly, making it a perfect spot for a casual meal with kids. The only downside was that the seating could be a bit cramped during peak hours, but the quality of the food made it worth the wait. I can’t wait to come back!
