Best tamales anywhere. The spicy pork are the best. Recommend everyone to try them. They were fresh and hot right from the pot. And the owner/ lady cooking them well she is just amazing and had so many stories about back home visiting her grandma and family. Will never go anywhere else. Thanks to a friend, [100006484993742:Polo Morales Sanchez] for recommending them. Yummy just isn't the word. So many choices and options as well.
Absolutely the best tamales I’ve had, hands down. I am so glad to have found this place and met Suzy. She is awesome and I loved hearing the history of the place and her family. Try these- you will NOT be disappointed. Thank you Suzy!
Familia. What a great place! Handmade (not machine made) tamales from a family business that embraces 4 generations of Susana's family. This is not a restaurant and it is not a store, but a Tamaleria, a place for the making of tamales. The tamales you get here are slightly more expensive than the machine-made ones you get at other places, but they are still very inexpensive and super tasty. The people who work here (at least all the ones I met) were extremely nice (yes, even you Susie) and took care of my order and everything else. I think my favorite thing was that on the day I was there an all-female mariachi band was playing across the street!

This is another Southwest Detroit gem that I clearly waited too long to try. It's located in the short distance between Corktown and Mexicantown on Vernor Hwy so there isn't much else within walking distance. That said it's absolutely worth a drive and stop as a stand-alone destination. The tamales come in four primary varieties (Pork, spicy pork, chicken, beef) of which we tried two. Both the chicken and pork were exceptional though the pork was marginally better. The most convenient way to purchase is by the dozen as a single tamale 🫔 isn't going to be enough - both due to the size and the flavor. The easiest way to order is the exterior window and remember to bring cash and wear a mask.
Always amazing! Great service! Got a 10 dozen order on the fly (call first!) But they still were more than happy to help me woth my demand!
