Based on 657 ratings
Great value! Not large as ones from Santa Rosa but you're spending half the price here in Oakland. They gave me fresh verde salsa, napkins, plates, and forks. Thank you because I couldn't wait to drive home and eat.
Green salsa chicken 1 Dozen of Tamales (12 pack) and 2 Pork with red salsa are sooooo good. I love the Maza and portion of the meat. It's just like how my tia would make them.
