Tamales Lo Mejor de Guerrero

Amazing. I had the green pozole (soup) my mouth is still watering it was that good… Don’t order the large unless you are hungry. I did and I couldn’t stop eating it was sooooo delicious. Street parking was ok to find. Make sure you pay the meter. Restaurant/​Seating area is basic. There is a waitress who will take your order at the table and serve you. If you’re looking for ambiance, this place looks more take-​out-​Ish… But Amazing Soup!!!

The tamale was really crumbly and cold. She microwaved the tamales to heat them up. The place was clean but I would not go back there again.

Amazing authentic tamales! Clean, cozy, comfortable family-​run specialty restaurant with sit down or super quick carry out services. Try the homemade green (spicy) and red (mild) salsa for some nice flavor variation.

Go early, usually choices are limited after lunch. I order them by the dozen, chicken, pork, bean and cheese. Some for dinner and freeze the rest. Preferably in the green sauce.
Family business, making good food at great prices, that everyone will enjoy.

I love this place.
Go there on the weekends to get the Mole or the Pozole. The Mole comes on outrageously tender chicken legs and is accompanied by rice or plain tamales. The red mole is fantastic, and the green mole is tart and spicy and so, so, so good.
The Pozole comes with all these fixins. As a gringo, I’m really not sure what I’m SUPPOSED to do, but I have fun experimenting with different levels of oregano, lime juice, onions, and pork rinds (sorry… my computer doesn’t know how to spell chicharones)
I love the pineapple tamales and the rice con leche for desert.
I love it all. AND everyone there is super duper nice.

Good pablamo peppers and cheese tamales. Mediocre pineapple. No salsa for order to go.

All the tamales from here are good ! I was surprised to know that this place sells tamales so close to home instead of having to drive 30 minutes for dry tamales from a cart in Chicago. The green ones are the best.

This place has been on my «to go» list for YEARS (sad, I know) and I finally got to go last weekend. I really enjoyed the food. I tried a green tamale, a triangular tamale in mole sauce and the pozole. Everything was really good! It’s a really cute place –small and every seat was taken. Mostly Hispanic folks, which is one of my measures of a good Latino restaurant; if locals are eating there, you know the food must be good and authentic! Service was good too. It seemed that there was one waiter working the room but he did a fantastic job getting to everyone and following up in a timely way! We will be back! Nothing like some good pozole on a cold, winter day!

What up Tamales! I have been eating here for years and was surprised to learn that I had never written a review! Their tamales are excellent and they make them fresh every morning. You have to get there early as they can run out at times. The prices are extremely affordable and the service is friendly! Ellie and her son Fernando are always wonderful and they truly care about their business and customers.
*They are great to get for parties. You can get a ton of tamales for a fraction of what you would pay for a catering order elsewhere.

Tamales and enchiladas are what they’re known for, but they also serve menudo and pozole on the weekends.
We tried the tamales (pork with red salsa is the best, in our opinion) and the pozoles (red and green), and we loved the pozoles! But it was our first experience with pozole. It is a relatively healthy tasting soup with a thin broth (red, green, and white offer different flavors), some shreds of pork, hominy (similar in taste to white rice and soft, but as large as popcorn), and cabbage. They give you the following fixin’s for your own customization: dried oregano, raw onions, limes, red pepper flakes, tostadas, fresh avocados, and chicharrones! I’ve never thrown avocado or chicharrones into soup, but they are damn good in a pozole! Their tamales were large and actually pretty good, but I’ve tasted better (just wish I knew the name of that place!).
Pozoles are $ 6/​bowl, and tamales are $ 1.50/each or 6 for $ 7. A good sized meal is probably 1 tamale and 1 pozole, which will be $ 10 after tax and tip. A small horchata is only $ 1.50, and it’s heavy on the cinnamon — yum!
Street parking is easy, and service was great. We had a really friendly, young waiter (in his 20s, perhaps a son or relative of the owner) who was cracking jokes with us. We’ll definitely be back!
(Something kind of funky to note: they charge tip on top of tax! Sketchy!)
