Tamalería La Doña

Cynthia Preciado

I've bought tamales from a few different places and people from around LA, but these tamales are very good, and I would say amongst one of the bests that I enjoy picking up from. Though the only issue would be the whole parking situation, I don't think it is that much of a hassle to order ahead, park the car some distance and just picking it up or unless you have someone with you than a quick grab and go. With the amount of ones that they have on sell I feel like you will be able to find the one that you want to enjoy with some coffee

The parking is non-existent , so you’re going to have to find somewhere to back. There’s always a line , however it moves very quickly. I’m originally from Compton but now I reside in North OC , so this place is a mission from my house . It’s hard to get a good tamale in OC. I stood in line for about 15 mins. I ordered 30 chicken tamales,20 Beef and 10 cheese for my family to share for my 36th birthday. I spent under 100 bucks by the way. The staff were very friendly and attentive. I’m black so sometimes there’s a language barrier. The kitchen was in plan view and everyone was working hard , the kitchen was clean and well maintained . I enjoyed the quaint atmosphere that had a nice shrine to Pancho Villa . The tamales were ready in under 5 minutes. Piping hot , 3 bags full . One of the first things I appreciated is the presentation of the tamales. They were wrapped in paper that displayed the names on them. I’ve never seen that prior to this. The tamales were freshly made . And for them to be mass produced daily, I still could taste the quality. The meat to masa ratio was on point. I got plenty meat in my tamales. The beef tamales were my favorite, but the chicken was not far behind I’d double back for these weekly for sure . It’s not so far that it’s not worth it . This place is a GEM! , support this business for sure . I’m a proud that these places are still around . I would have gave 5 stars if it wasn’t for the terrible parking. The tamales are A1 , and you can get them every day . Not just during Christmas time .

Free parking across the street. This Tamalería has by far the best tamales in all of los Ángeles. many places sell great tasting tamales but these are the only ones I don't get tired of eating. They taste Fresh, are homemade style and so delicious. Please take my word and experience their wonderful taste. The Tamalería has free private parking across the street. In addition, someone is there keeping watch of your vehicle. The ladies preparing the food are really polite and respectful.
