I was down here in Odessa working and had some late nights. The big bosses bought the crew a bunch of tamales and in my opinion were the best Ive ever had. And Ive had home made where we cooked the pigs head in the ground. Maybe it was a toss up between the two but they are well worth checking them out. As far as the rest of their food I couldnt say, but seems like they know what theyre doing. The green tamales had just enough bite by themselves without any sauce. They also will ship you frozen tamales right to your door! Where ever you are.

For Venezuelans, they can get something similar to pastelitos here but in the form of an empanada with a flavor that can be compared to ours. It really is very good quality Mexican food.

Mari keeps a clean kitchen and friendly staff. Ive been eating here since they opened. They have order ahead and drive thru pickup, fast pickup times in the restaurant and above all else delicious food, great portion sizes and reasonable prices. Ive eaten just about everything they serve and Ive never been disappointed. They sell locally sourced salsa and other food items as well as branded shirts and other swag, Mexican sodas, cookies and other snacks. Its a small place but comfortable seating at high tables is available. A favorite place to me for sure. Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair ramp in front.

Bought 2 dozen tamales this weekend. 1 red, 1 green. They had a great taste, but I had to throw alot of the masa away. Too damn dry. The filling literally came apart from the masa (isnt supposed to if fresh) so Im giving them 2 stars. Need fresh and moist tamales.

The food is great but the service sucks at both locations. And they have the most dumb hours ever. You people would make more moneu if you stayed open for people to get off work. Closing at 2 just screams that this is not a very serious business and that makes me wonder how much yall care about cleaning and doing things sanitary. Yall are a joke. Also I think nothing here is made in house. Its all shipped in from other companies. They dont make anything and its all fake

Its a tiny place and only has about 4 tables that are more like bar tables so its crammed but it is a nice place. Ill definitely be going back!

The place is in a great location it s a nice building although dining area is small the kitchen takes up most of their space from the looks of it. I ordered 2 dozen of their spiciest tamales honestly not impressed, aside from being in a mid level of spicy they where real dry and caked up with masa (the mix that covers the meat) nearly no meat and it was shredded meat if I remember correctly. From the looks of it they are most likely not hand made or homemade as they say. Long review short, nice ambiance clean looking tamales are not great.I m sure they have more variety of foods, until then this is my review.

So disappointed! Picadillo tasted like can meat . I think bcuz it s been refrigerated and reheated too many times. Menu said made with hatch Chile .. I think I might have seen something green, maybe that was the hatch? Never saw anything green resembling green chile. Rice was undercooked hard and bland. Maybe try adding onions, garlic, more tomato sauce bcuz some rice grains were white while others were red from the tomato sauce. No flavor whatsoever. So disappointed bcuz the menu description made me crave it. We ended up going to pickup burgers and will most likely trash the picadillo and rice. The beans were the bomb tho!

This never happened before but the tamales were dried out on the outside and that made them not edible. Everyone tried one and did not finish it. This should not be happening as this are not the cheapest tamales around on the contrary. Oddly enough some guy at work took some from the Pecos location and the tamales were quite nice. I guess if I get them again it won t be from Odessa

Food seems good. I didnt taste the tamales unfortunately. A bit overpriced. Awkwardly placed seating. Wish they had a bigger menu showing what all you can do cuz nothing on the menu seemed appetizing (unless you want a whole dozen tamales to yourself) until the cashier started recommending different ways to combine & order things. Overall, place has potential. Just needs better marketing & an updated menu.

If you seat in the seating area they will bring the food in plastic containers with plastic silverware. Creams, oregano, onion, and lemon in a paper bag. The menudo could have been decent but it was too salty.
