This is the first place I eat breakfast when I come to town and my wife would divorce me if I didn't bring her some back. They are full of meat and flavor!

Delicious tamales! They were all delicious, but the savory options of red pork and the green chicken were my favorites. I like to buy a dozen and freeze a few for rainy nights and even after reheating, they are moist and full of flavor. Just a tip, you'll have to be flexible if you order on DoorDash because what they say is available on there isn't always what they have when you get there. Don't worry though, you won't be disappointed on taste!

I'm not a huge fan of tamales. Mostly because anytime I've bought them it's al dough. The inside is hardly stuffed with any meat or cheese or beans. If I wanted dough, I'd eat bread or a tortilla. The tamales here are pretty descent though. Good size and the filling is a good portion. The red salsa pork and green salsa chicken tamales have great flavor! My favorite are the jalapeño and cheese tamales. It's hit or miss when it comes to the spice though. But the jalapeños do still add great flavor to the tamal. The ladies working there are so welcoming with smiles on their faces and working fast t get everyone taken care of during the busy rush hours. They offer a value meal of 2 tamales, rice and beans at a reasonable price. I. Recommend ordering that. The rice is delicious and the beans and so creamy! Overall, very pleased with this place

Tamales Mana is right next to the Asian grocery store on Petaluma Hill Rd. The tamales are handmade daily with their secret salsas. They include red chili pork, mole chicken, green chili chicken, bean & cheese, jalapeno cheese, sweet raisin, and sweet pineapple. When I was there around noon on a Saturday, they only had a few flavors left. I ordered their green chili chicken lunch place with comes with 2 tamales, a side of beans and rice all for $11! The tamales was moist which goes good with their secret red and green sauce. The shredded chicken inside was plentiful and flavorful. For the price and amount of food, it's worth it. The owners are very nice. They also have a to-go cart outside but at that time I was there, no one was manning it. I would come back in a heartbeat. Delicious tamales, good prices and enjoy supporting small, local authentic businesses.

Great place to come for authentic tamales. They take credit cards and have an awesome business but are quick to fill your order. We bring these to family events and they are the hit of the party.

Excellent tamales for takeout. Besides the rice and beans in the lunch special, they only sell tamales, so don't come expecting the usual taco/burrito/etc options from the usual Mexican food place. Came for some takeout on a Thursday around 11:30. Street parking was easy. Friendly greeting from the man behind the counter. Place is very basic - no tables and no drinks case, just the server and his counter of tamales. Menu on the wall lists the kind of tamales available as well as the lunch special that comes with 2 tamales, rice and beans. You can choose any 2 flavor combo. Offers and accepted crema on top of the tamales and a serving of salsa. Red salsa has a good heat level and went well with the tamales. Based on others recommendations
