| - Tight squeeze. It's the size of a NY eatery with 4 tables for a party of 4-5 each. Plan to take out or come early.
They have lots of photos so feel free to point to your dinner. Otherwise, learn a bit of Spanish...great way to practice your language skills too.
Super friendly. You can tell they like what they do.
There was a wait for my order. As I was waiting I was able to see other orders coming out of the kitchen. The Cuban sandwich looked big and awesome. Next time, I'm getting it. They also have carne asada, tortas, burritos, soup. But I came for the tamales! This is a solid, authentic tamale place. Now you know where to order your New Year's meal. Two tamales were under $4...that is a great price! The salsa (red/green) was very spicy hot. Sensitive to heat? This is not the sauce for you. The chicken was great, the pork was very tender, and they also have 2 dessert tamales made with sweet fruit juice (pineapple); they would be perfect with ice cream. I ordered the cheese tamales, but after eating the other two, I couldn't go on (the cheese is currently in my fridge waiting for me to have a midnight snack).
They take credit cards, but since everything is so affordable, bring cash. Feed the family, pick up for your next party, support this little place.
Way to go Charlotte Observer for highlighting this authentic Mexican cocina!
