Tamales Elena

For ME this was the best burrito (Rojo). Delicious consume. I loved everything about this burrito. I will definitely be back. I’m in LOVE with a burrito.

I do not have the authority to reward Elena a Michelin star but if I could I would. The flavors are robust and balanced. First time in the neighborhood but it won’t be my last. Tamales are great but don’t sleep on the tacos. The (orange?) sauce in the plastic bag hit all the right notes. They gave me too much sauce but that’s fine I’ll use it. Thanks Yo Yo for the recommendation.

I love the champurrado, it’s not expensive and it taste delish, make sure you ask for the 3$ cup its just 50 cents difference but it’s worth it! They also have the gallon jug for 25$ to take back home or to your coworkers. It has become a stop on the way to work!

I've been coming here for so many years now. The food is always great and delicious. Great service. Great, everything. I remember the mom and her daughters. When I was a baby girl always looking out for them. To see if there would be passing by the house because I wanted some tamales. And the drinks. The mom and her family of Elena, tamales have been knowing our family for a very long time. So many years and I'm still coming here and eating. My food is so great and delicious. Especially when they have their big orders for the holidays. I do highly recommend coming here and eating their food.

They make the best tamales hands down! Better get there early if you want some. Its a food truck in the middle of Watts so you might run into some weirdo, but it's worth the hike. They always park on Wilmington facing South. I've been buying their tamales for the last 20 years. When I have the craving they are my to go place.

This is a hidden gem and you wouldn't even think they sell anything other than Tamales but let me tell you... their tacos de barbacoa are amazing with the side of consomé. Their tamales are also great but have became smaller throughout the years but still pretty tasty. Their salsas are always on point the red one is my personal favorite don't say I didn't warn you because it's HOT but it's also tasty.

Hope and pray you have found blessings at your new location. I'm just watching mexi papa's youtube video and me not being a big tamale fan would love to try yours out!

my mom has been buying her tamales since back in the since 1998 when she was first pushing the Market Basket down our street 115 Street and Mona Boulevard in Watts California and still buying them I love them to death.
