How locals rank it
In Los Angeles
From the local food press
Editor’s picks from published local guides
The recipe goes back to the 1960s, when Alberto Meija sold tamales as a street vendor and then out of the back of a local bakery; the Temple Street shop has been here since 1997. The Infatuation describes what the family recipe produces as dense yet juicy blocks of perfection. Order the cheese and jalapeno, which the guide names as its favourite, and take the chicken in salsa verde or the pork with red sauce alongside. Vegan and vegetarian fillings are on the board too.
