Delightful little shop with hot, fresh, homemade beef tamales. Wonderful flavor and oh so delicious. And the pies!!! Yummy!!! Everything is very reasonably priced. Very friendly and helpful young lady. Convenient location right off highway; easy to find. We will definitely return.

I got two dozen tamales and could not find one speck of meat. I even cut it open lengthwise. It was flavored mesa that had not been steamed long enough. Very gooey.

My wife and I stopped here today. We have lived in Fannin county all our lives just about and never knew this place was here. After reading the reviews we decided not to try the tamales only because we like traditional pork tamales but I think next time we will just to see. We bought 3 fried pies for$5 and OMG!!! People these are true homemade fried pies. Everything she has is from scratch. We will be going back next week to try the coconut cream pie and some tamales. Must try

(summary: too bland)Having prior knowledge of how tamales are made I u understand these are made in a different style. When I went to unpack the tamales however, I noticed they weren't cooked properly. Leaving bland tamales. If they had been cooked to the proper level they would've been decent.

We just stopped for first time of passing this place 100s of time . Omg the tamales are out of this world. And can hardly wait to taste the coconut pie we bought. We sat on side of road and had tamales the smell was so good we couldn't wait the drive home to Rowlett to eat some . Delicious and will be a regular stop when we pass thru going fishing .
