Tamales Ancira
8.4 • Tamale shop
Small, cash-only tamale shop with limited seating and high demand causing frequent sellouts. Atmosphere feels old and worn, mostly suited for takeout with minimal meat fillings in tamales. Lines form quickly, especially during holidays, and ordering ahead is common.
