Tamales Alberto — Restaurant in Los Angeles

I understand we came on a busy day so perhaps that is why we could not buy mixed batches. The flavor was amazing and the price decent.

I also got the beans with cheese and fresa, but those didn't have a lot of flavor. They say you can freeze them, but frozen tamales aren't the same, better if you buy them hot and eat as many as...
