Lulu's Tamales — Restaurant in California

My wife and I moved to the AV almost four years ago and had been trying different and all types of food trucks and restaurants and unfortunately we just couldn't find a place that could satisfy two of our food favorites one day we were driving back from the store on Ave N just past the freeway heading west and my wife saw the Lulu's tamales truck and asked if we could stop and check it out I was a bit skeptical about trying it because I was already disappointed at many other Méxican places in the AV. I stopped anyway so my wife could try the tamales and she purchased some Green chile pork. Red chile pork. Some Green and Red chile chicken and some of rajas I still didn't want to try them but she insisted they were better than all the rest. She gave me a piece of the one with green chile pork and I must admit I was pleasantly surprised. The next day Sunday morning she wanted to go and buy some more and discovered that they also sell menudo. I decided to try the menudo and also was pleasantly surprised because the clean the menudo really well meaning it doesn't have a lot of fat it isn't sticky and it has good flavor. The only downside I found is the tortillas they give you they are nice and warm but they have smelled spoiled in already three different occasions but if you could do without the tortillas then it is worth the 20 to 30 minute wait. I will continue to go here until I either find something better or they change their...

Alright so my daughter shows me a post showing these tamales 🫔 off and tells me they are good (by reviews) and we should go try them. So I’m like ok once the day they are in the area we’ll go. I’m picky on tamales because I have had my taste of savory ones and some that omg no way they selling this stuff to the public.. So we go today on a Tuesday and there was already a lot almost full of cars... people outside waiting for the truck... the line was long once the truck arrived and I see people leaving with what look like DZ at a time.. so my thoughts 💭 must be good.. finally i order and once inside the car I had to try to see if it lives up the rep.. ok they are good amount of meat and masa , salsa is good .. taste is good the masa a little bit grainy... I like it but more smooth.. but overall pretty good! I will be getting more... try the Mole on next 👍🏻 Just added note; down a bit...

OK now if you want some great tamales this is the place to go. I just need to add that I lived in Gardena all my life and have had my share of tamales. Moved to the high desert and sadly the best Mexican food in Barstow is Taco Bell. I was dropping off a pup at Smiths Kennels and seen the tamale truck so I got excited, called my husband and told him I was going to stop and but some. I was a bit leary oh but I'm so very thankful I stopped. This is almost 2 hours from where I live but I will be going back at least 2 times a month to get them. Hands downs best tamales...
