Review Summary

La Tamalera earns praise for friendly, attentive service and a casual, welcoming vibe, with staff taking time to explain the menu. The food is described as fresh and authentic, offering strong flavors in items like chilaquiles, Baja Tacos, shrimp empanada, and churros, plus drinks such as pink horchata and aguas frescas. Tamales receive mixed notes, with some diners finding them a bit dry or not to their taste, while others suggest they are a must try. Several reviews mention good value and quick service, whether dining in or taking out, and the overall mood is that the restaurant delivers satisfying Mexican comfort food. While a few comments call some tacos or portions pricey, many customers still plan to return and recommend La Tamalera for a reliable, tasty experience that highlights authentic flavors in a simple setting.

Ordered the Chilaquiles for takeout. Don't walk, RUN & GET YOURSELF SOME. I paused my meal to write this review because this is sooooo delicious. Worth every penny.

La vrai cousine mexicaine urbaine ! Des assietes simples sans trop de combinaisons. L'essence de la cuisine mexicaine sans trop d'ingrédients. Des prix raisonnables. Le service très courtois. J'ai donne un 100%. C'est un Resto simple mais très accueillant. Très bien mangé. Nous retournerons sans hésitation
Merci

This place is so good. Everything is very fresh, great tastes, the corn tortillas are homemade. The food isn't over salted like most restaurants. Don't come here for tex-mex this is real Mexican. Great brunch too. I had a Pozole a while back & it was out of this world. Too bad they don't have a few extra dishes on their menu but what they do is really good. I'm surprised they are not busier.

Restaurant familial très sympathique & accueillant. Le commerce est très bien décoré & l'atmosphère sans prétention. La nourriture que l'on y sert, qui se veut d'ailleurs authentiquement mexicaine, est délicieuse & abordable. Avis aux amateurs de nourriture épicée, vous serez comblés! J'y ai dégusté le porc braisé à deux reprises sans aucune déception. Mention spéciale au litre de jus d'hibiscus qu'on y sert. Le genre d'endroit ou l'on peut se rendre plusieurs fois par mois. La décoration est assez typique de ce genre d'endroit & le plafond de la salle de bain est recouverte de fleurs en plastique multicolores, belle déco. J'aime beaucoup!
