Nehemia's Restaurant

If you're a foodie, please check out Nehemia's. There are a couple of reasonably priced restaurants in California that remind me of the awesome food in Mexico City and Nehemia's is one of them. The mole tamales our simply outstanding. I enjoyed every tamale I've tried here and I've tried most of them. I don't usually like sweet tamales and was sure that I wouldn't care for the strawberry tamales, but I was curious. They're delicious! The prices are reasonable. Oustanding value.I've driven by this place many times, but the name made me think the food was Mexican-American. The food doesn't cater to a US palate. It's legit. The owners are a couple who are Honduran and Mexican. I tend to prefer food from southern Mexico, compared to northern Mexico, and this food reminds me of southern Mexican cuisine.

Tamales echados a perder y horrible servicio de atención al cliente. Los tamales que me tocaron no estaban frescos y tenían un sabor caducado. Al hablar con la dueña Andrea, ella fue muy grosera y ni siquiera le importaba que los tamales que estaba vendiendo estuvieran hechos de masa que sabía agria.Me da mucho lástima que no pudiera asumir la responsabilidad y que traté a la gente así.

I bought the chicken and pork tamales..so good.Service was excellentI will be backPrice was resonable

So first off, we tried to order Christmas tamales on the 23rd and they said they weren't accepting any more orders so lesson learned for next year. So they said to come early in the morning (at 7am) to get what they had. We ended up forgoing the tamales for Christmas and went after Christmas. When we went to order, they had very little tamales left and it seemed they were wiped out from Christmas. They didn't know how many tamales they had and what kinds. We ordered a dozen and we got 11. It's definitely a small business trying to find its footing so I don't fault them for that. They only had spicy chicken and jalapeño cheese when we ordered so we got those. The masa is very flavorful and not overly cooked. The chicken was nicely shredded and tender. The cheese was a little...solid? Had a very chewy texture which I didn't love. We also got their green salsa (they were out of red) which was very tasty. All in all, really good tamales, a little shaky from a customer service standpoint but I'd definitely try it again next year, just order much earlier in advance.

We love going to Nehemia's for our Christmas tamales! We get a few dozen and gift them to friends and family and everyone raves about them. They are on Cherry and 55th in a strip mall, limited parking but there are some spaces! Highly recommend the pork with verde sauce, and the chicken with rojo sauce. The cheese is a must as well. Enjoy!

Go. Here. I purchased the chicken tamales, and was told these are made with the house's custom masa, as opposed to commercial masa. Nice spicy kick to these, but not at all overpowering. The flavor of the chicken is so well infused into this moist packet of deliciousness, that I have to say this is one of the best tamales I have ever ingested.

First off let me say I am not a tamale expert and never get over enthused by them. I don't go out of my way to order them but will eat some if I am with friends or they are available and feel like eating one. My review is only on the tamales themselves . Was told by a coworker about this place so we purchase them and I actually love them! They happen to be some of the best tamales I've had and unsure why the other reviews say they take so bad. We got takeout so I can't comment on any attitude but I did not see any when I was there.whoever waited on me was very polite. Unsure if he was the owner or someone who just worked there. We live very close by and ended up going back and find two more dozen . again.... I am never overly enthused by tamales, but these are very good. At least in my opinion.

Notably excellent. Loved the red pork tamale, made with from-scratch nixtamalized corn and ground chiles. Good moisture/lard content. Pairs great with the green salsa. Yummy!

Avoid. Bad service and gross food. They are not going to last with that type of service and hard tamales. I didn't see anyone in this restaurant... I should have taken the hint

Terrible how they get this rating they must have all there friends on here Dry tasteless. And the restaurant is a dump. Dirty tables we had to clean off ourself. Waste of time and money
