Very yummy! I asked if the Rajas con queso were vegetarian and she said yes, she makes them with vegetable shortening and the meat ones with lard. I really like them and for $1.50 a tamal, now...

The best tamales in San Diego are served up piping hot from a stand in front of an Autozone. Why wouldn't they be? Everything here is incredible. I am most familiar with corn husk tamales, but...

Delicious tamales! This is a walk up food cart. They have both banana leaf tamales & corn husk tamales. Our family tried both & liked everything. They were very reasonably priced. Highly recommend!
