Best tamales anywhere. The spicy pork are the best. Recommend everyone to try them. They were fresh and hot right from the pot. And the owner/ lady cooking them well she is just amazing and had so many stories about back home visiting her grandma and family. Will never go anywhere else. Thanks to a friend, [100006484993742:Polo Morales Sanchez] for recommending them. Yummy just isn't the word. So many choices and options as well.
Absolutely the best tamales I’ve had, hands down. I am so glad to have found this place and met Suzy. She is awesome and I loved hearing the history of the place and her family. Try these- you will NOT be disappointed. Thank you Suzy!
Absolutely love this place! Been eating here since I was a little girl and they have no changed one bit. Thee best in southwest Detroit hands down!
By far the best tamales I've ever had. They are hand made and fabulous!! I especially love the spicy pork. Definitely recommend
Best Tamales in Michigan!! �� Would recommend them! Highly !!
Coming to the US from South Africa (where i live) craving tamales, the spicy pork tamales were just fabulous and served with the greatest friendliness. I'm proud (& fulfilled) to enjoy this 60yr eatery in Mexicantown.
The tamale's are the best in Detroit. The staff is always friendly and willing to talk and answer any questions. Top notch
The best of the best, no comparison to others in the area

We’ve been buying tamales from Susi’s family for over 20 years! Perfect mix of masa & ingredients. Awesome for parties!
The beef tamales are the best I've had in a long time. Very moist and delicious
Stopped here on our way home the ball game tonight and I might say....yum yum yum!!! Thanks to the nice gentleman we met at McShanes for the recommendation
First time patron of this establishment, and would have to say that the food is amazing. Prefect taste, perfect spice, perfectly hand made. I will go no where else.
I love this place! Makes them just like my did. Great staff
Best tamales in the city. My family has been going here for literally five generations. We'd get a few dozen to go with family gatherings, and tradition dictates we get a dozen more than we need and eat the extra dozen on the trip back. And that tradition lives on to this day!
Familia. What a great place! Handmade (not machine made) tamales from a family business that embraces 4 generations of Susana's family. This is not a restaurant and it is not a store, but a Tamaleria, a place for the making of tamales. The tamales you get here are slightly more expensive than the machine-made ones you get at other places, but they are still very inexpensive and super tasty. The people who work here (at least all the ones I met) were extremely nice (yes, even you Susie) and took care of my order and everything else. I think my favorite thing was that on the day I was there an all-female mariachi band was playing across the street!

This is another Southwest Detroit gem that I clearly waited too long to try. It's located in the short distance between Corktown and Mexicantown on Vernor Hwy so there isn't much else within walking distance. That said it's absolutely worth a drive and stop as a stand-alone destination. The tamales come in four primary varieties (Pork, spicy pork, chicken, beef) of which we tried two. Both the chicken and pork were exceptional though the pork was marginally better. The most convenient way to purchase is by the dozen as a single tamale 🫔 isn't going to be enough - both due to the size and the flavor. The easiest way to order is the exterior window and remember to bring cash and wear a mask.
Always amazing! Great service! Got a 10 dozen order on the fly (call first!) But they still were more than happy to help me woth my demand!
Is really good you pay for what you get here they always good the chicken tamales with no spice are great !! I eat a dozen like is pop corn 🌽 so good 👍🏻👍🏻❤️💯💯Omg berto!!!!!’
We made our annual Christmas Tamale Run. 10 dozen, hot sauce and social distanced. Always the best tamales in the area!
