Tamales Acapulco

Awesome tamale stand? truck? The tamales are $2.50 each and a packed with flavor. My bf and I ordered a chicken and a pork to share as a light lunch and I instantly regretted not ordering more for later. Both were delicious but that pork in the tamale was so tender... YUM! Both had kicks of heat that left my tongue on fire but it's fine. They were worth it. I will be back and I will be ordered more than 2!

These are Tamales con Sazón and they are large! I'm born and raised in LA and haven't had a good street tamale in a while. Their queso con rajas are bomb! And heard from familia that their pork is on Point! Will be back next Xmas for more!

Small food stand with friendly service, serving Tamales, Pupusas, tacos, tostadas, and other standard taco truck types of dishes. I came here for the tamales, they offer chicken, pork, cheese, and jalapeño, all for $3. The tamales are served with green sauce and a slaw. Very good! And bonus points for excepting credit cards, which is somewhat unusual for this type of place.

I stopped by here while waiting for my laundry and had a few tamales- they were both spectacular! The pork was my favorite, the meat was so fresh and juicy! Also these tamales are huge! Two filled me right up. Will definitely check it out again next time I'm doing my laundry next door!

I rarely buy tamales at food stands or restaurants but I found myself running errands around fruitvale ave in Oakland California and found myself in front of this food truck. The tamales are amazing and you just can't beat the price! My go to order is the Red Tamale and the raja con queso tamales with an agua fresca on the side. If you're lucky she might have the strawberry agua fresca but you also cant go wrong with the standard horchata. I think it's cash only but don't quote me and parking is very difficult to obtain around that busy area.P.S: I have never tried the salsa on the side

Tamales - the perfect breakfast food. Corn meal for carbs, pork or chicken for protein, pickled cabbage for veggies, and salsa for the spicy food group. One of these in the morning (the only time the cart is there) and you're good to go.I never used to like tamales but I guess it's b/c I never had a good one until now. The tamales here are nice and spicy from the red chili paste they add to the cornmeal. The cornmeal is perfectly seasoned and the good portion of pork is nice and tender. Top it off with some of their salsa verde for more of a kick and acidity. The pickled cabbage completes the meal. How much for this complete breakfast? $1.50!There used to be 2 other tamale stands on this block of Fruitvale, now there's only 1 other across the street. All the locals hang around this cart though.

Nice and tasty, man. I always expect a truck in the back of a supermercado to have legit stuff, and they did not disappoint. Got the tamales and honestly, one of the best I've had for so cheap. Good the next day, too. Really nice texture, soft fluffy and warm.

Today was my second time eating from this place. My coworker had bought tamales for myself, and a couple of my other coworkers a few weeks ago. They were great! The same coworker went back today to buy tamales for the group. I sat down, opened the foil of my chicken tamale, poured the green sauce over it, and started to dig in. About three to four bites in, I look down at the tamale, and there is a roach belly up... Yes, a ROACH in my tamale. This is by far the most disgusting dining experience I've ever had in my life. I blurt out in my breakroom, "There's a roach in my f***ing tamale!" My coworkers are all grossed out, because they have already devoured their food from this Trailer of Terror. I throw the remainder of my chicken and roach tamale in the trash, and force myself to throw up the bug ridden masa. I type at my desk in disgust. Mondays generally are brutal, but the roach laden tamale has made today hellish... Why me? :( Stay away from this place, unless you don't mind a little roach protein in your diet.

First off, Yelp has the wrong address for this business and if not for my dogged determination and familiarity of Oakland (I'm a born and raised), I would have never found it.The food trailer is located at 1480 Fruitvale, not 1680 Fruitvale. Yelp! Get it right for this humble, small business person.I got the chicken and pork tamales and a papusa (the owner's brother was visiting and told me which papusa to get. Don't remember its name but it was the first one listed on the menu board.If I went back, I'd get 2 chicken tamales and 2 papusas, plus the brother told me the torta is very good. I can see I'll be going there at least a few more times. Enjoy!
