Alicia's Tamales Los Mayas

Had their tamales as part of a catered lunch and they were delicious. The stand out for me was the pumpkin mole tamales. Will definitely seek them out to try again in the future.

Spotted these tamales at the La Cocina tent at the Ferry Building Farmers Market on a Saturday. Everything was frozen, so you gotta get it to go and reheat it at home. But dang, these might have been the most delicious frozen tamales I've ever had. Hope to see them at mainstream grocery stores, like Safeway, soon.Chicken Tamale: The shredded chicken itself is moist and tender and has a delicious tomatillo flavoring. And I really appreciate that they aren't skimping with the meat; I hate when tamales turn out to be like 75% masa. In addition to the delicious protein there were some fresh veggies spotted in the mix like carrots, potatoes and peas. It felt very homey. Super satisfying.Pork Tamale: This is more like the kind of tamale I'm familiar with. Lots of tender shredded pork and a few fat pieces for extra taste, in a flavorful sauce. No vegetables or anything, just masa. Didn't seem like a dominant meat ratio as with the chicken tamale, with almost too much masa for the pork. Almost. But it was still good enough for me to gobble down. Overall though, I think I like the chicken better.

Fresh and flavorful tamales, best of all there Organic. Need I say more.Good choice of fillings.What are you waiting for?Echale!

We worked with ATLM to cater a department graduation celebration at SF State in May 2024. The food was absolutely fantastic with a great selection of vegetarian and vegan options. We order 150 tamales (pollito, cheese, black bean & cheese, nopalito, and mushroom), tortilla chips and salsa, fresh salad, vegan black beans, and vegan Mexican rice. We also order two large jugs of aqua fresca (mango and cucumber/lime). The nopalito and mushroom tamales were crowd favorites as well as the aqua fresca. Pedro was so super friendly & helpful and made the ordering process a breeze. The food was delivered on time and they helped set-up and make everything look great. I have been telling everyone on campus to order from ATLM for events, and if you need catering for an SF State event, they are now an approved vendor in our system, which makes reimbursements significantly smoother.

We got catering for a small event & the tamales were a big hit! We had 20 young people with various dietary restrictions and preferences and everyone found something that they enjoyed. As we had many people to feed while being Covid friendly- the individual packaging option was super helpful. Everyone was able to grab a plate and we didn't have to worry about serving dishes or running out. The salsas were tasty and had just the right amount of heat. The different tamales were super flavorful and delicious. We'll be ordering again I'm sure! Big note for us: They were able to accommodate our gluten free dietary restriction as well which is a huge plus!

I have a friend who lives in Hayward but I can't tell you when I last visited his home. Best guess, at least seven or eight years.This is one of the perks of religiously shopping at the Ferry Farmers Market Saturdays at the Ferry Building. On the first market in March, I walked to the back lot and found this stand at the designated La Cocina location. I studied the menu as she helped a few other customers before ordering. I got the vegan veggie tamales, sold in packages of three (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=OJULA566S3FOux_ecBVOaw&userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q). The tamales come frozen with heating instructions on the package. After steaming one, I found that it held form very well (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=yK47NC4IvA_KEhvbAa-VbQ&userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q). After steaming it and dousing it with their salsa, I really enjoyed this as there was no shortage of filling (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=J-jpj2-z53ryFvU8tGFyHQ&userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q). Do purchase their salsa Roja chipotle (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=o-d2PIBKd0fNeNwaGdf5Wg&userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q) which paired very well with this tamale. A little while later, my friend and I swapped one tamale from our packages so I tried the mushroom one (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=QLXIZqvLcCFahA-Yuy-77w&userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q). This was okay being pretty one note for me. There was an ample portion of mushrooms but I definitely needed the salsa to give this some bite. Regarding the salsa, do note that their shelf life is limited as, after about a week, my plastic container started to puff up, likely due to the acidity (lime juice?). 3 stars for the food, bumping up a half star for being part of the La Cocina program.The lady at the market was very nice and they actually made another appearance on 4/2/22 at the market. Was thinking about getting the pumpkin mole for a friend but she passed on it. Maybe next time.

Tried to call the number listed and it's been disconnected;(Very very sad as I wanted to swing by after placing a large order.Needless to say that I was disappointed as I was unable to speak to or connect with anyone in real time.

My work had Alicia's catered for dinner today and I found a dead fly at the bottom of my salad. Absolutely disgusting. Will never be ordering from this place again.

First I would like to start off by saying.. Alicia's tamales are absolutely delicious! I've tried the black bean, chicken, Oaxaca cheese, and veggie. It's hard to pick a favorite but my absolute favorite is a chicken!First was introduced to Alicia's tamales Los Mayas at San Ramon's Farmers Market. I had the pleasure of meeting Alicia, she was very nice and welcoming. I'm giving this reading five stars for the taste, quality, and overall experience. I highly recommend trying if you haven't already!

I am a few months pregnant and battling with morning sickness/nausea but the only food my baby craves is TAMALES but not any kind of Tamales.... only Alicias's tamales! That is right! lolI am Hispanic myself and I confirm these are super delicious! They have amazing flavors and different varieties. More importantly Alicias tamales use very wholesome nutritious ingredients making them authentic but the healthiest I have ever tried. They are super easy to reheat. favorite fillings are Chicken, Pork, Mushroom and Rajas. I really hope we could see Alicias Tamales at Whole Foods, Costco or Safeway I can definitely see these being a great hit! Don't forget to buy salsa with your tamales! Very good! My favorite Chicken with Green Salsa and Pork with Red Salsa, Mushroom with Green Salsa. I can definitely see these being a great success for parties. You can find Alicia at Farmers Market in San Ramon most Saturday! Thank you to Alicia and her team for such amazing QUALITY!
