| - I have been coming here sporadically for the last 4 or 5 years.
I know how to make tamales, but I only make them a few times a year and do not like them if they've been frozen too long. So, in the past, this has been a "go to" place a couple times a year when no one in the family has any fresh tamales.
They used to be really good, but the last time and yesterday they were not great. When I first bought the tamales you could see shredded chicken, strips of green Chile, and they used to put cheese which I really liked. Now, the chicken looks like mush. There's no green Chile that I can see and they no longer do the cheese. The cheese is not a deal breaker, but the mushy meat instead of shredded meat is. The masa used to be flavorful, but now it tastes like lard only.
I actually took a friend there for lunch about 6 months ago, and they were not good. I thought it was a fluke, so I went back yesterday and bought a dozen for a quick dinner at home with rice and beans.
The tamales were so bland I had to make an enchilada sauce to cover them to add flavor. We only ate half the dozen and will toss the rest.
