La Mixteca Tamale House

It’s part of a gas station property but no importa! We felt like we were sitting in a local restaurant in Ensenada (not the tourist area). The facilities were modern, very clean and the staff, very kind and helpful. The food was delicious with the majority of the patrons being from Latino descent. We ordered chips with queso, 2 tamale and taco meals and a Carne Asada. Tasty, moist and flavorful tamales (one chicken and one pork with mild red sauce) as well as delicious tacos (Al pastor and birria). I’ve heard good things about the mole sauce but they were sold out of it. The steak was a little tough but the flavor was delicious. Honorable mention to the rice and beans and guacamole! Wow wow wow. The portions were really great also. So much so I needed a box for my taco. Overall great va

I ordered the tamales and horchata. This was my first time trying a sweet tamale and it was so good. I got the elote which was like a sweet honey cornbread flavor. The red mild chicken was great too. The staff was very friendly and helpful when asking questions about food allergies. My friend got 3 different taco flavors and said the steak and chicken were her favorite. I can't wait to come back again.

I've never been here before but it's walking distance from my house so I ordered it for delivery. I ordered at 9:30 they closed at 10. We ordered tamale, taco, arroz con leche. I guess they make their arroz con leche differently. It was a cup of milk with a tablespoon of rice. The chicken taco was super dry. The entre meat was so tough that I couldn't chew it. But maybe this restaurant just does everything differently than I'm used to. Also, no sauce or napkins and utensils.

Nice, quiet, clean place. Good selection of food. The food is good made fresh to order. Thev also have a couple of specials on the weekend The staff is very friendly and helpful They offer some interesting drink options.

The food was phenomenal! My first time there they did not have all of their tamale offerings, but it was so good that I will need to go back!
