The service was great and the vendor enjoyed capturing my grandsons attention and he served us up some tasty food with a big smile. My grandson and I had not problem polishing off a chicken and pork tamale. Dang they are really so good. Maybe a little on the pricey side compared to other tamale options out there, but more than worth it when you sink your chops into such fine food. I can't wait to go back the next time I'm in town! The setting and ambience are perfect since the stand is located in the parking lot of an automobile service station - an excellent choice for setting up shop!

There's no seating here-just small counter to get your condiments and go. Menu with flavor options is listed outside but without prices.

Was excited to order, but the worker at the counter was pretty rude and made our experience off putting.

I hope his cart re-opens soon as I drove by today looking to get a hotlink but saw he wasn't there. COME BACK SOON!! And everyone... don't forget to tip well here please!!
