" I discovered this gem through social media, and now I am hooked! Each tamale is fresh and bursting with flavor, particularly the rajas stuffed ones.

The green rajas tamales were a delightful surprise, and the chef clearly knows how to pack them with flavor. The staff were friendly, though they seemed quite busy during my visit. I’ll be back to try more! " (*Curated Review*)
