Tamales Sarita,

"I'm white, so I'm a little biased, but it was a little too hot for me. The tamales were still edible but they were not my favorite. The store is small and it's kind of cramped if more than a couple of people are in there."

"The best chicken on green chile tamales in the area... the beef and red chili are okay, they need more salt imo. The cheese and jalapeño slices are okay as well, they would taste better if they use Monterey jack cheese."

"These tamales were delicious! They’re well priced, very fresh, flavorful, and well portion. I just wish they had a little more meat inside of them. I like that their menu is limited; green sauce/red sauce, chicken/pork, regular/spicy, banana leaf/corn leaf. It made ordering very easy."

"You know In the movie Ratatouille when Anton Ego takes his first bite of the ratatouille and is transported back to childhood memories of his moms cooking, that’s what it felt like when I took my first bite of the tamale here, and before I noticed I was on my last bite. I’m no Anton Ego but I know what good food taste like."

"I called them up in a panic Thursday afternoon because my order of tamales for Saturday from another place was cancelled. I needed 7 dozen tamales for a Day of the Dead party, and Tamales Sarita not only got me the tamales for Saturday, but they were better than I could have ever imagined. The banana leaf tamales were huge and so moist. The corn husk were perfect. We started with 7 dozen, and by the end of the night we had 8 tamales left. They were definitely a hit! Thank you so much Tamales Sarita for great food, and keeping our party going. We will be ordering from you again real soon."
