TAMALERIA MARIA’S REVIEWS

Man this place is great. Been here a few times and no complaints other than first time coming here. I learned my lesson to not show up late. They have great food here so they sell out so early arrival is a must. You can also call in your oder so you are not waiting around when you get there. The licuados are a great combination when getting tamales. You can also order their freshly made bolillos to take home for whatever you decide to use them for. The chicken tamales have a great spice to them compared to the cheese/jalapeño ones, not much of a kick but still great flavor overall. The puerco tamales are flavorful and tender. If you decide on the torta, make sure to eat right away due to the sauce making the bolillo a little soggy if not eaten right away. You can also ask them to give you the sauce on the side, but I wouldn't recommend that. The main item they sell out quickly are the sweet tanales. Friendly hospitality here as well.

I'm InLove! This place has the absolutely best champurrado in the world. In MY PERSONAL OPINION... The pollo con chile verde tamales are exquisite. I haven't tried the whole variety on the menu. But so far I'm impressed. It's a dollar too pricy for my taste, but it's tasteful food. U gotta try the champurrado.

A friend bought me a pork and chicken tamale and I was very satisfied. Would go here myself next time.

DAISY'S BAKERY REVIEWS

Went in to grab a few pastries before heading home, and I'm glad I did. The cinnamon roll was soft and had just the right amount of icing without being overly sweet. The staff seemed friendly, even though it got a little busy while I was there. I had to wait a couple extra minutes, but nothing too bad. The place felt clean and had a nice cozy vibe. I'll probably come back to try some of the breads next time because everything in the display looked pretty good.

They have a little bit of everything, open early, have freshly made juices and baked bread.

Great family owned business, the pork tamales were fat and very flavorful, also the pan dulce was fresh daily made.

MOM'S BAKERY & CAFE REVIEWS

Excellent! very good taste They took my order for a birthday cake for the next day without any problem and they give me at time.

The bread they sell here is fresh, delicious, and very cheap! The egg tarts are an absolute delicacy. Definitely recommend.

My go-to bakery for not-too-sweet Chinese pastries and birthday cakes.
