"Omg!! These are the very best tamales I have EVER eaten!! I ordered the pork, chicken, and beefy burrito. They are all my favorite. They are moist and seasoned throughout. The sides are excellent too. The rice is seasoned to perfect and the corn casserole is so rich. This is my new tamales restaurant. Jana I pray that God will enlarge your territory because this business is a blessing!"

"Some of the best pork and poppers tamales. I ordered several dozen frozen and warm tamales. I was impressed with the taste and loved the popper tamales. The tenderness and softness of both flavors was great. I will visit this place for tamales again with the large crowd."

"Small shop in Scurry Texas with a drive thru window only! Don't let that sway you. The tamales are absolutely delicious. They are large, meaty, well seasoned, and moist. I would recommend to anyone.. fabulous service and food! Now that I written the review on the food let me just mention the owner and what she's done for the community today. I took my grand daughter today because they had Santa! Not only Santa but free pictures w Santa and free gifts for all the kids that showed up in this small community. I dropped my daughter and granddaughter off out front to get a picture and then I drove around to the drive through for tamales. Once at the window I was greeted by a young special need gentlemen named Dominic. He offered a fist bump and a Merry Christmas w Jana following up w I have a special helper today! Ma'am you have a customer for life!"
