What People Are Saying About Roosevelt's Tamale Parlor

A neon arrow points hungry 24th Street passersby indoors, where fresh guacamole, chile rellenos, chorizo with eggs, carne asada, flautas and more are served up fresh all day. And don't forget the signature tamales: original recipes from Puebla, Mexico that include chicken, pork and beef for carnivores and bean, cheese or squash varieties for vegetarians.

This place has been around for ever. The food is good. The tamales I have found to be hit or miss, sometimes moist and other time dry. The rest of the menu is tasty and reasonably priced.

This restaurant is truly the most authentic and delicious mexican food I've had anywhere. Everything is homemade, right down to the chips. We came for lunch, and walked in about 20 minutes before they were open, but the owner told us it was no problem, sit down. I had the chicken tostada, which was delicious. Also, the rice is absolutely perfect! Anyone who knows anything about mexican cooking, knows that there's an art to making the perfect rice, and they've got it! It's as if your grandmother is back there cooking for you. Can't wait to go back to try some of their other dishes. If you love great mexican food, this is not to be missed!

Why on earth would someone (itsthefood) order ribs at a place called a tamale parlor? The owner treated me like a king, and the beef enchiladas and sauce reminded me of Johnson's Tamale Grotto from my childhood. They nailed it!
