    It is a good thing I don't live closer to this restaurant because I would be eating their empanadas…read moreevery day. Seriously. I have driven by this place a zillion times for several years and never stopped. SHAME on me! A friend suggested we go because this was one of her favorite places. It gave me the perfect chance to try this local restaurant. Let me warn you in advance... there is nothing fancy or foo-foo about this place. It is as local as you can get. The inside dining room was packed with restaurant supplies and boxes. There was a clock on the wall that did not work which I found to be so cool. They use disposable plates and cutlery. Somehow all the local stuff makes it part of the charm of this eatery. The tamales were delish but the empanadas were divine. Soooo good and flavorful. Not greasy at all. I will be back for more of those, for sure. The tamales were just as yummy. I had the southwest tamale and the chicken mole. The plates come with rice and beans. This is a big restaurant. It looks like a converted gas station. There is an outside area which is enclosed (how can it be outside and enclosed at the same time, right?). There are huge doors like in a service station garage that can be rolled up on a track. There is a great deal of seating in this area. Perfect place for a small band or other entertainment. There is plenty of parking and easy access. The staff was very nice and helpful. They answered all my questions and helped me make my selections. I had always thought this establishment did not do much business. But in the short time was there, I saw a great many customers getting take out orders. I think this makes up most of their business. We were the only customers who dined in. Highly recommended restaurant. If you go, tell them I'll be back for more empanadas!

    I'll tell it to you straight, people don't go here for the atmosphere. They go here for the food…read more If you're looking for authentic, fast tamales and more, this is your place. The authentic banana wrapped tamales are like my great aunt Vivian used to make. Only there are lots of different flavor combinations to choose from. I liked the chicken pesto tamale and the beef tamale the best but every tamale I've tried was great. They have lots of other things on the menu. The last time I was there they had changed things up a bit so they are going through a metamorphosis. The counter experience was closer to chipotle where you walk through a line and pick options. They gave me a sample of beans that I had never seen on the menu before. Highly recommend you try the beans. They were kind of soupy, very flavorful. Unique in a good way. Don't plan on taking a date here or be thrown off by the picnic tables out front. Just give it a try.
