The last time I was at tamales Alberto it as their original echo park location, that was five years ago. It made such an impression with the tastiest chilaquiles ever that I had to come back. I was so glad I came back. Literally my favorite chilaquiles ever. The heat level on the verde is perfect. They use the perfect amount of queso fresco, and I seriously fell absolutely head over heels in love with their toast. So simple and delicious. The service is also great and makes you want to come back. If you love chilaquiles this place is a must

Well Google had the wrong address but thankfully after 15 minutes of a walk later I finally found this spot which had moved from its original location.Service was Slow and they take your order at the counter and then if you decide to eat there, things come out slow : they only have 2 3 people working the counter and cooking. It is a very small shop and they do a lot of takeout orders it seems.Tamales were Ok. I've definitely had better.The rice plate with refried beans were Ok not great) rice felt like overnight reheated old : Ordered a Crepe to try as well, and the portion was smaller than expected. With a sprinkle of salad, this will likely not be something I order again.Seating inside is available but you'll get some of the fried smoke into your clothes since it's not quite well ventilated being a small place.

These are the kinda of places I hope always grace our gentrified neighborhoods! I just ordered a breakfast burrito! No requests! I wanted it how they serve it! The first bite, got men. Flavor filled! These tortillas aren't over the top, where your first bite is just tortilla! I will always support a small business Mike this that authentically does it with care!
