Wide variety of tamales made by hand as well as homemade champurrado both in regular (chocolate) and of guayaba. There's also an assortment of sweet tamales which was very unique also.

South side tamales are the best.
My husband grew up eating tamales in Texas, and he said these are authentic.
I had the chicken and jalapenos with cheese.
Delicious as usual.
It's also a good place to practice reading and speaking Spanish.

Best tamales ever ,i can eat them every day I love it when my husband doesnt go to work cause i make him bring me some lol
