My new favorite place for a Mexican breakfast! Yes, they specialize in tamales. But they also serve an array of breakfast items like chilaquiles, breakfast burritos, eggs, steak and menudo on the weekends. I was blessed to come by on a Sunday to try their delicious menudo. Their tripe is not chewy, it’s perfectly cooked and the soup is incredibly filling. Comes with a homemade hot sauce, spices to mix in, onion, cilantro, lime and tortilla. Their tortillas are handmade, and you can really taste how much of a difference this makes. Their quesadillas may look a little small but don’t be fooled, they’re long and super filling. Super friendly staff who care about your meal. Highly recommend the jamaica drink, made with real rosella flowers and such a treat to balance the meal with. Price is very fair, a medium menudo (of which 1/3 was more than enough for me) was 9. We got Chilaquiles, an asada quesadilla and that menudo for 25 total. Plenty of street parking out front.

Tamales Alberto is the go-to spot for tamales! They have a great variety if you go before 1:00 p.m.. if you go in the afternoon they still have them but some selections are limited because they sell so many. Everyone around knows that they are the best. They have other excellent food but the tamales are my favorite and certainly what they are known for. If you never liked tamales or if you never had a really good one you've got to go check them out and see for yourself. They even have one's made of sweet corn for dessert!

Best tamales in LA. The cheese and jalapeno is my personal favorite but the chicken mole is a close second. All the other tamales are good as well. They are always full of flavor and the dough is nice and fluffy. Its December 27th and I'm already out .

Its good, after lunch the menu is limited to whatever was left from lunch because the cooks go home. But other than that, the tamales are yummy. I tried the cheese with rajitas, chicken mole, and chicken with green sauce. Each one was distinct and good.

Really good food, is really close to what we eat in Mexico but not quite there yet, even so a really good option, I was satisfied. The red chilaquiles were really good, had some chorizo eggs on the side and one tamale (beef) to try, the prices were really reasonable like 13 dollars a person with the drink included. Overall I recommend this place for the quality of the food and the price .
