Not only are these some of the best tamales I’ve ever had (and I’ve lived in Central America), they are ALL gluten free. You can go wild at this place. I never get sick. Never. NEVER!!!

The owner is incredibly nice and everyone working there is kind and helpful.

I love so many different tamales. They have lots of vegan and dairy-free options if that’s your thing - squash and mushroom and spinach and more - but they also have traditional chicken and pork. Their sauces and salsas are really good - SPICY, but good. They also have a hatch chili queso that’s delicious, even though it’s too spicy for me. I just go around the chilis and get it anyway.

I love their avocado cilantro crema. And I cannot say enough about the high quality and insanely good flavors that happen here. When I go down to see my sister in Portland, I take BRICKS of frozen tamales for her.

This is going to be your new favorite place.

Simply outstanding. Nearly everything is gluten free and what isn’t is setup to eliminate cross contamination. Delicious food and wonderful people. You should eat here.

Almost everything is gluten-free. (Just not the mole, which was marked on the menu board.) So many wonderful vegetarian and vegan options. The owner and staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. The food is so good, we’ll stop by tomorrow to take some beans home!

They make a variety of tamales: pork, chicken, vegetarian and vegan tamales. All gluten free. For a small inexpensive lunch you can get a tamale with rice and beans for $6. They’ll give you a small side of chips and salsa too.
