Rosy's Tamales: The Best Tamales in San Fernando Valley

A friend recommended Rosie's Tamales & we weren't disappointed. My husband & I both tried pork tamales. The masa was moist & tasty, the meat was seasoned just right and the tamales were larger than expected. They were perfect and we plan to order more in the future. I highly recommend Rosie's tamales. Don't forget now for the Holidays. Before Thanksgiving is the ideal time. C

Tamales are a little more than you're used to but very well worth it. Rosy's tamales have been around for a long time. The tamales are always very flavorful and are a decent-size. My personal favorite is pork in red sauce.

I was a white guy. This is probably the best tamale. I have had in a long time. Traditional white people cannot eat tamales, but this one. This is legit made by real Mexican people. 4 Mexican people, I give this a 5 stars, and I enjoy this. So much and can't wait to go back. The neighborhood is a little sketchy, but Hey. I'll die for a tamale.

I got cheese/jalapeño, red pork, green pork and champurado everything was delicious.

This was a nice stop for breakfast where I picked up a few of their tamales. The people inside were very friendly and helpful. The tamales were excellent! They are packed with filling! I really enjoyed these, they all tasted great. My favorite was the green chicken tamale. I thought they did a great job with the shredded chicken and the green chile stuffed inside the masa. Overall, a great visit!

Delicious, well sized tamales, though they might not have all varieties all the time, especially around holidays. The puerco, piña, y queso ones are yummy. Love eating them right away while they’re hot.

This placed is praised for their quality tamales. The best in the whole of the San Fernando valley. Freshly made tamales daily packed with meat and flavors. They take orders over the phone and sell uncooked frozen ones for those that want to steam cook them fresh at home like my family did with 2 dozen tamales on Christmas. Been a customer for more than 8 years.

MÉXICO (NAYARIT) Excerpt from Eat the World Los Angeles: The Mexican state of Nayarit is no stranger to Los Angeles, with many families claiming roots there and the coastal cuisine living large in the lives of many Angelenos. This usually consists of plates of freshly prepared mariscos, unique ceviches, and the awe-inspiring pescado zarandeado, but a tiny little Pacoima joint has been hawking the tamales of Nayarit for around ten years. "Estilo Nayarit" is actually quite easy to miss on the sign, especially while flying by on wide Glenoaks Blvd. With the holidays approaching, there will be many feelings about tamales to go around, but for those without stacks of them made at home, Rosy's is a unique find to enjoy the recipes that trace their origin to the owner's hometown of Zacualpan. Even coming in from the blazing summer sun, there is an enjoyment to eating a tamal with a cup of hot champurrado, always available here at Rosy's. What can be less easy to find are the chicken tamales, the stars of the show, which are frequently sold out. Fresh batches are prepared throughout the morning (Rosy's closes at 13:00) though, so if your timing is not perfect on the first visit, just try again another day. Start with the tamal de pollo en salsa verde, which they have covered with a handwritten "HOT" notice on their board. The sauce is green because of an ample use of jalapeños, and is always made fresh.
