My wife and I were craving tamales, so we decided to stop by Tamales Mireya again. This time, we had to try their new Costilla de Res (beef rib) tamale, and I gotta say, it was really good! One thing I really appreciate about Tamales Mireya is that no matter how many times you come, you can always count on the same great customer service and the same delicious food. The tamales never disappoint they're always fresh, flavorful, and consistently good every single time. Definitely another great experience. If you haven't tried the new Costilla de Res tamale yet, I highly recommend giving it a try! read more

My wife stumbled upon this business on Yelp and was immediately drawn to the numerous reviews praising their tamales as the best in Orange County. And let me tell you, after trying them yesterday, I completely agree! They truly are the best tamales in the area, and their customer service is equally impressive. The dough was perfectly balanced, not too dry, not too fatty. The flavor of the tamales was simply divine, we try mole, banana leaves green (chicken) and red (pork) they were cooked to perfection and kudos for the green sauce was not tasting like cumin! The guajolota was another standout. The combination of flavors was simply amazing. And the sweet corn tamales were equally delicious. The dough had a buttery sweetness that made them irresistible. If you're looking for the best tamales in Orange County, this is the place to go. read more

Super delicious! Tried one of each tamale-- was phenomenal. Service was fast n' professional, going back here to try their banana leaf tamales for sure. My favorite tamales were the pork and chicken mole. read more

Super friendly staff and the tamales were great! Unfortunately, they didn't have the rajas I was looking for, but regardless it was yummy. It is just a truck out in the neighborhood by El Super. I'd recommend it as I haven't had a good tamales before, but this place was solid. read more

$17ish for an horchata, and 4 tamales My fav type of tamale is the banana leaf one, but the corn husk ones I enjoy as well. Sundays they serve the banana leaf one! For corn husk tamales, they were pretty good. I would prefer a little more protein. The masa wasn't dry tho and def had fluff and flavor Chicken with green sauce 3/5 adequate amount of chicken, not super moist but had a teensy bit of bite to it Cheese and jalepeno 4/5 this or mole is my fav. The cheese is quite chewy, jalepeno they used had a slight kick and this comes with a red sauce steamed inside. Not as gooey as others, but still enjoyable Chicken mole oaxaqueño 4/5 most unique of the bunch! The mole had a slight sweetness, but it kept things interesting. Horchata 4/5 It comes with walnuts, dragonfruit, drizzle of honey, and coconut as that's how they traditionally serve it. I really enjoyed the milkiness of this, but felt the honey wasn't necessary. Green salsa 3/5 It added to the tamale, but nothing out of the ordinary. Parking Street /neighborhood parking only. Had to circle around a bit even at 8pm on a weekday. Service 5/5 Incredibly warm. It felt like I was at a Mexican friends house despite being served at a taco truck lol the guy gave me a small discount when I told him it was my first time there, very nice of them. They accept Apple Pay! Maybe if they can reduce the masa justtt a little lol read more

These tamales were incredible! I ordered the chicken and beef, and even though I had to wait a bit since they had sold out, it was totally worth it. While I waited, I tried a queso tamale, and it was absolutely amazing, full of flavor and perfectly moist (not dry at all!). They tasted like they came straight out of my Abuela's kitchen, so comforting and full of authentic homemade flavor. You can really taste the love and care in every bite. I'll definitely be coming back, especially with the holidays coming up! read more

I've been craving tamales and haven't been able to find a good spot/go-to that's also affordable. I'm so happy I finally crossed paths with this truck! The tamales range from $3 (corn husk) to $3.75 (banana leaves), and you can get chicken, pork, cheese and peppers, or black mole. I got one of everything to try, and I was perfectly content with each one of them. I got green sauce with the chicken, and the pork came with red sauce. The red sauce had a decent kick to it that I felt more in my stomach than when I was eating it, but so worth it. The tamales were soft and very moist, perfect texture. The black mole was wrapped in banana leaves and it left an aromatic flavor, very similar to certain Vietnamese snacks. I think my favorite had to be the cheese and peppers though, had a great spice to it and was delicious. My partner really enjoyed the chicken ones as well. Service was great and fast. The guy taking my order was very nice and helpful; I sometimes feel out of place, but he was super welcoming. I also scored an extra dulce tamale with pineapple and it was tasty - not too sweet which I appreciated. Some seating available, and there's a counter. Overall my new go to spot for tamales! read more

Very easy to find. There was a gentleman standing on the corner of Buaro and Harbor with a sign, so you can not miss it. Just follow the arrow and they are parked down the road a little. I found parking at the residential area. There was a line at 9ish am. Some people were purchasing bags of the tamales. I saw a lady bring her own pitcher for purchasing a drink. Smart. I was warmly greeted by another gentleman at the window. He was very friendly and informative in explaining the type of tamales. He also informed me that only tamales were available at the time. My goal for the morning was just tamales, so win win. He patiently explained the method of prolonging the quality and taste of the tamales such as freezer vs. fridge. I appreciated that very much. You don't get that kind of customer service often or at all. So thank you! I didn't want to go overboard and purchased 5 banana leaf chicken and 5 chicken tamales. You have a choice of mild (green) or spicy (red) salsa. I hope they'll always be at this location because the tamales (both types) are heavenly delicious. Also, there was a red color sweet tamale (gifted, I think) in the bag. That was a fabulous surprise. I saw they had a sign for Menudo...I love Menudo. Will need to inquire next time about it. read more

I've been eyeing their truck and craving homemade tamales for months. You can pull in behind the business, it's pretty quiet. And plenty of parking. I didn't get his name but he took our order and was so patient with us. He never rushed us and took his time explaining basically everything. We got 8 tamales to go (9 total, the threw in a tamale fresa!) and an horchata with the works that was so dang good. Literally what I have been looking for, for months. Support our community and local businesses, these tamales are made with so much love and care and it definitely shows with the service and food. 1000000/10 experience. read more

Super impressed! While waiting for the EV to charge, there was a faint savory smell of something delicious in the air. Walking a bit and we discovered a tamale truck & ordered the simple Chicken with Green Salsa. The masa was absolutely amazing in the softness/fluffiness, and chicken was super tender + tasty. Definitely would love to come back to try more, I guess I'll have to charge my car more often! read more

Thank you for existing!! read more

I was never a fan of tamales because for me it was dry and flavorless. Only until I found this place that I'd realize I've been eating bad tamales all my life . These are so moist and so flavorful. I was only looking for a tamales place because my husband need to bring some to work but I'm so glad to have found this place. My favorite is the pork one with red sauce, it's so flavorful I'm having withdrawal The owner was also so nice and friendly. He threw in a free dessert for us, I think it was pineapple flavor. Parking is easy since it's right next to a huge lot. Can't wait to come back and try the ones wrapped in banana leaves, they didn't have those last time. read more

My family and I came here for the first time and WOW the tamales were soo good. The masa to meat ratio was perfect and the tamales were SO moist. We tried the chicken and green sauce, the pork banana leaf, jalepeno and cheese, and strawberry tamale. We loved all of it but my fav was definitely the chicken w green sauce. Everything tasted so fresh w amazing flavor! We also had their hot chocolate and horchata w the fruit!! Both were delicious. My kids were very happy lol.

*********LISTEN UP ORANGE COUNTY!!****** THE BEST TAMALES IN TOWN HAS OPENED UP THEIR OWN TAMALE TRUCK IN GARDEN GROVE!!! "Tamales Mireya" has been my Tamale Lady for years!! Every year during Christmas I order over 130 tamales to pass out to my neighbors and they all go crazy for them! One time we had a tamale party where we all agreed the tamales I brought mine from "Mireya Tamales" and they were the best compared to the rest! They are so damn good that every time I try to eat tamales elsewhere, Im disappointed and they can never compare to my home made tamales made by Mrs. Mireya. They are in Garden Grove and you can call ahead if you want to put in a big order. They accept Zelle or Cash. They are there Tuesdays, Thursdays (4-8pm) and Sundays (8am-12 noon). While you are there, you must try the Arroz Con Leche or Champurado! Hits the right spot when you eat your tamales. My personal favorite is the green chili chicken!! Then the pork with red sauce and then the jalapeño with cheese. I don't like spicy. But my family LOVE the jalapeño and cheese that like spicy food. They now added a new tamale to the list. The Mole with Chicken! OMG that sounds so good but I was told that's the first one that sells out so I need to go back earlier when they open so I can try them. I don't care what city you are in.... IT'S WORTH THE DRIVE TO GO THERE WHEN THEY ARE THERE! And if you need any other day, call them direct and you can pick up from them. I usually pick up at their house in Buena Park. YOU WILL BE RUINED AFTER YOU EAT THESE TAMALES AS ALL THE REST WILL NOT COMPETE! She uses quality masa, quality meat and stuffs the tamales with meat! The masa is not the greasy kind that usually gross me out. These are honestly the BEST TAMALES YOU WILL EVER HAVE! Just Google the address 12791 Bustos St., Garden Grove, Ca 92840. They are there Tuesdays, Thursdays nights and Sunday mornings till noon. The truck is parked on the street. There are two trucks parked next to each other. You can't miss it. It's $33 a dozen. You might as well buy two dozen to save yourself a trip. They can be frozen. read more

Randomly found this spot when I was charging my Tesla. I was hesitant at first because of the location but man !!! NEVER JUDGE THE BOOK BY IT COVER . I don't know much about tamales so I just ask which one is best seller. He recommended the jalapeno and cheese and chicken and green sauce. I also got the mole one. All three were AMAZING ! Must get it with sour cream and cheese !! Tameles were moist not dry, meat is tender and flavorful. 10/10 would recommended read more

The tamales were sooooo good, chef Ramsey would approve! Service was great too, best spot in OC hands down.

Second time here and it's my fiancé and my new favorite spot for tamales. This place has banana leaf wrapped tamales that make the tamales super juicy (only on Sundays!). Our favorites are the chicken and pork tamales, but there are many other delicious options as well. They always put good amounts of meat and the sweet tamales are the perfect amount. The pineapple (piña tamale dulce) and sweet corn (elote dulce) are must tries as well! Our favorite warm drinks are champurrado (chocolate) and arroz con leche (rice pudding)! We always buy extras to take home to share with friends/family. Cash and all credit cards accepted. read more

I was debating on gate keeping this truck, BUT they deserve the recognition, so I will tell everyone about it lol Their tamales are some of the best I've ever had! Every single one of them are all equally bomb. I usually order a mole and pollo verde preparado and a rajas or fresa to go. My dad and fiancée always get the puerco. We love that these tamales have the perfect meat and masa ratio. Hard to find these days. Not to mention that their salsas are fire and the perfect pairing for a nice kick with your tamales. The staff is always soo warm and welcoming and helpful! That's another reason why we come back. They have excellent customer service. They also have a mean horchata and ice coffee! We'll be back for more soon! Thank you for the hospitality! read more

Let me tell you, this was definitely a hit and I will be coming back. They put a lot of chicken and pork in the tamales, it had flavor, and it was moist. Definitely recommend! Also, the gentleman who took my order was very nice, great customer service! read more

OMG! I gotta say these tamales are the best I've tried in a very long time. Ole P. Review is what sold me on trying them. I was going to get a dozen of pork or maybe try one to see if I like them. But when I got there, I saw the line and people waiting for their order. I got 1 dozen pork, 1/2 of cheese, & X-large Horchata. WOW, tamales are amazing: perfect taste, spicy, masa, and amount of meat. I should have gotten 2 dozen of pork, a dozen of cheese, & a dozen of mole. Definitely will be letting family & friends know about this spot. read more
