Nehemiah's Restaurant — Restaurant in Long Beach

If you're looking for authentic homemade tasting tamales - Nehemias is the place go for tamales with a good ratio of meat to masa. So far, I've tasted the pork with red chili and their pork with green chili - both are very good!!! They started their business by selling tamales out of their van at the Home Depot parking lot off Cherry and Willow. To meet the demand, they opened a store front where the make their tamales daily. You can place an order; you can pick up at the store; and you can still find the husband at Home Depot. Their tamales are fresh! If need a dozen or more, call in advance and place an order. They often sell out!!!...

I've come to get tamales here since 2020 and I had never had a problem, however today was such a terrible experience. The "owner" had the worst attitude ever! She immediately gave me an attitude when I asked for the tamales to be prepared and she just became really rude and ugly. I asked for the manager or someone over her and she yelled out to me she was the owner and she wouldn't be taking my order anymore. I did ask her if she was ok and why was she being so rude she replied "We all have problems" which is granted, however that was not my fault and because she's having a bad day her PAYING COSTUMERS shouldn't pay the...

I still think that they have the best Tamales around in the Long Beach area. The masa is moist and flavorful. But I noticed that the amount of meat in the tamales is less since the last time, I had to take one Star 🌟 off. I do understand that the cost of all goods, meat included has gone up. It's a way for the business to make a profit without increasing the price. But for me, I'd rather pay more to get the more the quality.

The place gets really busy, especially during the holidays. Customers are coming nonstop. I highly recommend placing your order ahead and in advance to get what you want or else...
