I've been here a couple times. The people are friendly and helpful. Furthermore, the tamales are really fresh and taste similar to how my grandma used to make them. Lastly, it has a nice Mexican atmosphere. Overall, I recommend coming here for tamales.Photos below:1. Tamales: chicken and pork2. Counter to order3. Outside view

This place has the absolute best tamales in all of north west indiana. It’s also a grocery store where you can buy fresh salsa guacamole and chips. The pollo verde tamales are my favorite but the other ones are great as well!

Nice little Mexican store, good tamales y carnitas, not crazy about the nopales salad, unless you like a LOT of chopped onions. It's a little grocery store NOT a restaurant, but they have some good hot food to take out..

I highly recommend this location for their tamales!!! Always always get them here. They have a great taste, perfectly balanced, not to soggy, not to dry not to greasy, just right! Every time!

Will not return to this place. Treat you like cattle. Unfriendly, especially the cashiers, they are so busy talking and playing around that I would not spend my money here again. Stop going here for that same reason, when spending 70 to 80 dollars every time going there and they are unfriendly, I would rather spend my money someplace else. I even tried to speak to the manager, and one of the cashiers told me she was manager. They need to know that without customers, they would not have a business.
