One of my favorite tamale spots near me my brother comes here brought my boyfriend as well he loved the strawberry tamale. My favorite is the veggie tamale with cheese. Never disappointed.

Came without expectations and left with the certainty of knowing that I will be back for more. The food is delicious and fresh and inexpensive. Had to use their bathroom and it was spotless. I definitely don’t mind the trip and the toll from Queens. Thankfully there’s plenty of parking space in the area.

We would eat here again. A little out of the way but worth it. Everything we ate was good, hot, and fresh. They received an A from the health inspector while we were here.
