Excellent tamales, with a good mix of masa and filling, and the strawberry tamales are moist and plump, definitely my favorite. The people I dealt with were also good communicators and easy to deal with. Excelente tamales con buena proporción de masa y rellenos, y los tamales de fresa están esponjosos y nada secos; son mis favoritos. Tratar con la gente para pedir orden fue fácil, y la communicación también read more

Placed an order for 2 dozen tamales over the phone at 6am. They had them packed and ready for me in less than 15 minutes. My coworkers loved them! Piping hot and delicious! Gracias Lupita's Tamales! read more

Family owned and ran private party. We decided Tamales as a last minute New Years Eve treat! I found them here on yelp and they are actually pretty good. I was impressed with how light and fluffy the Masa was. There is definitely a secret to making good tamales. The consistency of the masa, the way they flavor it, how much they use and how they wrap it. Lupita's has it all dialed in, even down to the shape and size of each one. I went a little overboard with my order, with 4 dozen . One green pork, one red chicken, one chili cheese and a mix of sweet one. My favorite hands down the Green Pork was number one. The flavor was very traditional without the greasy masa. The pork was tender and savory without being salty. Second the red chicken, the chicken fell apart in your mouth without being over cooked and the masa had a hint of red chili, not spicy just right. Third the strawberry. Yes strawberry. It's just a flavored masa. But this was really good. Lastly the chili cheese. The chili cheese is usually my favorite but.... I like my chili and cheese tamal to be picante!!! Spicy these were not. This is definitely a place to pick up some good authentic tamales and the price is right. Enjoy I will order again!! read more

they have really great tamales i would definitely get more and i would recommend it to others as well!!!!

Tamales were delicious. Very nice people everything was made fresh and their other food looked delicious.

Tamales were great and the price is competitive. Very responsive and easy to work with. We will definitely order again

I ordered the pork, chicken and cheese with jalapeño tamales for Christmas. Everyone enjoyed them. The masa dough was moist and delicious flavor. The fillings were well seasoned (just enough spice) and quality ingredients. Well serve of masa to filling ratio, tamales were chunky but with a lot of filling. Today, I placed another order for New Years Eve. Definitely recommended! read more

I ended up ordering 3 dozen tamales last minute for a party- called at 10:00 to pick up around 3:00. I believe it was a father and daughter running the business and they were super sweet and accommodating. The tamales were a big hit at my party, especially for my vegetarian friends, that they even took a few home. The masa was moist and the meat /the cheesy jalapeno were flavorful. read more

You simply DO NOT cancel a Mexican's tamales order on Christmas Eve. That's just foul. Ordered 2 1/2 dozen tamales for Christmas Eve. On my way to pick them up at 3pm the day of, I get a text from them saying that they won't be able to fulfill my order due to a "family emergency." I tried calling them but they didn't pick up the phone. They just texted me that they have been on the phone all day dealing with all the other customers whose orders they weren't able to meet either. While family emergencies can indeed happen, this to me smelled like BS. I texted back asking why didn't they text everyone at once early on to give us a heads up and then call us individually so that: 1) we could make other arrangements while we still have time 2) not waste gas and time driving to them for nothing. When I told them that they have ruined my Christmas Eve dinner, they responded saying that I wasn't the only person whose order they didn't fulfill like that's supposed to make things better. I should've known there were going to be problems with this place because when I originally placed my order I got a call back not long after, and this other person had no clue what I had just ordered. There's serious lack of communication. Luckily La Doña Tamalería in Compton saved the day. They had zero problem accommodating my order very last minute and the tamales were pretty good with a fair amount of meat despite the fact they make them in giant batches. read more

I ordered these last year for my friendsgiving! All my friends loved them and kept asking where they were from. To this day they keep talking about them. Their favorite was the pineapple one. Last year I was able to call and get my order in the same day and in my opinion they were made super fast for a last minute order. They accept Venmo or cashapp. I paid before and just picked them up when they were ready, super easy transaction. It's not an exact location, I parked and she walked out to me with disposable baking tins with the tamales still super hot! Can't wait to eat these again! read more

100% recommend these tamales. It's a pre order type deal but well worth it. You'll be back guaranteed. Just placed an order again :)

I ordered 4 dozen of tamales for Christmas Eve. 2 of the dozens that were Cheese were not cooked. It was embarrassing because I had family over and they were pulling me aside and showing me. Just if you order from this place just make sure they are fully cooked. I called on Christmas Day to let them know. The lady said she was sorry. read more

Hi guys! I ordered 3 dozen tamales from Lupita's for the very first time and OH MAN!!! They are DELICIOUS! Literally eating some right now. I ordered red pork, green pork and cheese (rajas). My ultimate favs were the green pork while my BF said he loved the cheese ones. I dealt with Rene who is an amazingly kind man. I will definitely order from them again and again :) read more

Tamales were great! I got one that was not fully cooked though, so I'll update my review after I order again. Hopefully it's not happening every time. Definitely worth the $ though. I wish they were bigger! that's for sure. Bomb read more

Very tasty, ratio of masa, sauce and meat was perfect. Service was excellent like the tamales.

Sweet tamales weren't cooked all the way. I got a dozen and it was mixed with a few green chili ones. Which I should of got the green ones at least they were cooked read more

Surprise! Surprise! Had a taste for tamales so googled on a whim. Tamales were giant, stuffed with meat, moist and masa was flavorful. I was surprised when I pulled up to an apartment building. Next week, bought other tamales from storefront and there was no comparison! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND. read more

tamales were delicious! so big and full of meat. excellent service. Homemade local tamales

Wow 5 stars. These tamales are made by a very hardworking father. Not only that but they are DELICIOSO! So mouthwatering. They also deliver too! Pico, Whittier, Downey, Norwalk. For $15 a dozen you can't really beat that for homemade tamales. I think they have other things on the menu so check out this awesome local business. read more

Delicioso! Was able to call in my order and fortunately the tamales were ready to be picked up. They were steaming hot and smelled awesome. I ordered chicken, pork and beef in both red and green sauces. I loved the pork in green sauce. Kids enjoyed their champurrado. I will definitely continue to order from here as the quality and price was good but best of all I get to Support our local business. read more

Ordered 3 dozen for family gathering on Christmas Eve. Sent my husband to pick them up at our scheduled time. The address given wasn't to any business. He called and was given a different address. It was over an hour and a half and several more phone calls before he actually got the tamales. I can't understand why, if you ordered from a business, you wouldn't be picking up from there. None the less, we did get them, finally. As for the tamales themselves, the ones with green sauce had good flavor, spicy but good. The red sauce seemed to be lacking, missing something. Not much flavor. The masa to filling ratio was off. Masa was very thick and one half of each tamale had meat. For what I paid, I don't feel it was worth the price or headache trying to figure out where to pick them up. Previous reviews give a much different view of this business and on a day to day business they probably do have excellent food and service. This is just what my one time experience with them was like. read more

These have been the best tamales I've had in a long time. I have ordered twice for work and they deliver.

I thought I would try these tamales out after seeing the rave reviews on Yelp, because my go to tamale place, Catalinas in Bellflower is closed. I bought one dz. red chile and beef and one dz. green chile and cheese. I tried them both and I honestly don't think they are all that. They were fresh, but totally lacking in flavor. My mom makes better tamales than these. Bland masa, and bland filling. The green chile had a nice kick, but the masa voided it. Don't believe the hype. Kudos to Lupita for working hard and being an entreprenuer, Capitalism at it's finest. If she tweaks her recipes for more flavor, especially the masa, it could really take off. read more

Best tamales in the area. I live in Palos Verdes and I drive for over an hour just for these tamales. They are authentic and with quality ingredients. read more

These were great! I just saw one review on yelp so I wasn't sure they were going to be good. But oh man they are good! And I am picky w my tamales too. They were full of flavor and meat. We had carne roja (red beef) pollo verde (green chicken) and piña (pineapple) and they were super yummy! They deliver free of charge too. This is my new tamale place when I need to order for parties. Oh and the price was great! read more

I love the tamales and menudo, beats driving to south central for some good food. I'm all for a small family business that can deliver great food and service. read more
