" I had an unexpectedly great experience here! We ordered several tamales, and every variety was delicious. Chicken and green salsa was the star, but the dessert tamales were a close second! It's a little chaotic sometimes due to its popularity, but worth the wait! " (*Curated Review*)

" California Tamales House has taken the crown for best tamales in our household! My kids love the cheese and jalapeño; they are never too spicy and perfectly cheesy. The service is friendly, and they always ask how you want your order. We’ll keep coming back for sure. " (*Curated Review*)

" Good food, but the parking situation is terrible! I was nearly late to an event because I had trouble finding a spot. The tamales were great! I can't get enough of the jalapeño and cheese combo. Just wish the experience wasn't stress-inducing with such limited parking. " (*Curated Review*)

" This is my go-to place whenever I have a craving for tamales! Their sweet tamales are to die for. I usually enjoy the strawberry and cream cheese ones. But their savory options are amazing as well.
