Update September 2023:Finally able to eat all 6 tamales that were specially made with my allergies in mind. Every. Single. One was DELICIOUS! I wish I could afford to get these weekly because oh my goodness they are so good! However, will definitely have Lorena make more for a special occasion!

The portions are very small. It would be impossible to fill up without spending a lot of money. The food is good, they just need to be more generous with the portion size.

I've been eating the tamales from Miss Lorena for years from the farmer's market. First, she's a very genuine, good person. I'm glad to see her succeeding because she deserves it. She is a true food artisan as she understands flavors and is able to adopt different flavor profiles and make them into delicious tamales. She's a bold, brave chef that isn't afraid to experiment and find new flavors. You can taste the love and care she puts into her food.I've tried many of these tamales and have never had one I didn't like, but I'm particularly fond of the vegan sofrito and poblano and jack cheese tamales. The flavor of the sofrito is unbelievable. I could eat those all day, even though the portions are pretty big. The poblano tamale is very smooth, clean, and big in flavor. I need to get back and have some more of these tamales soon. They're a real find in a place like the Springs!

Great food and awesome service we really loved the food whenever you are in the mood for great tamales you have to eat here.

Great off-the beaten path little tamale/empanada restaurant. Hand Made authentic recipes which were passed down generations. The flavors were amazing! I Loved the Vegan tamales. They are Oaxaca Style, wrapped in banana leaf. I had the Curry Coconut Cashew, the Thanksgiving and the Butternut squash. All their sauces are homemade. I also had a delicious Cremini Mushroom Empanada and the Green Chili POSOLE. Lorena and Evelyn were super friendly and made me feel at home like I was in their kitchen. I will be frequenting this unique little gem!

Extremely nice, helpful and really good. I love how vegan friendly they are! And their sauces - DELISH! Oh my gosh! Great price for lunch. Be sure to get the green sauce. I am not sure what they callIt but it will enrich your life!

26 Dec 20 - my son brought me two tamales to try from the above new restaurant he saw on line that sells tamales. My son and I are from Panama and are trying to find good Mexican tamales. Split the pork and chicken one with my husband today and this is my honest critic of the tamale. The masa or dough was better than most of the ones I have tried and the meat was very tasty. However the meat was only in the bottom part of the tamale and it had way too much dough on the top making the tamale taste very dry. I think if they put the meat in the center the tamale would taste a lot better and not be so dry. Glad that I tried it and will still keep looking for the perfect Mexican tamale!

Excellent Tamales. We pick up the frozen ones for quick dinners. We also love their salsa and avocado sauce. Best tamales we have ever had.

Loved the vegan tamale for restaurant week! Thank you! I ordered 2 of them Togo and when I opened up box it was only one tamale! Will have to try again though! Thank you

These tamales are outstanding! We greatly appreciate that they've made them healthier by not using lard. The flavors were super good in the green chili chicken and red chili pork. The vegetarian poblano sweet corn was delicious too. We thoroughly enjoyed every bite and will come back for more!
