Stanton Mexicatessen - Mexican restaurant in Stanton - 7440 W Cerritos Ave, USA

This place used to be so good but the hours suck and they're never open at dinner time. They close before dinner time and close at 2 on the weekends, makes no sense. Not sure how they stay open. They would have more customers if they were open at dinner time to pickup food.

The worse place to buy tamales, I bought 2 pork with red sauce, 2 chicken with red sauce, and 2 sweet. As you can see in the picture, the tamales are so old, burnt, no taste not worth it.

Ordered our traditional Christmas tamales from here. This is our 26th year ordering the tamales. They were very tasty this year. I have to admit, some years weren't so hot. However, this year's batch, and most year's batches have been awesome. Perhaps 2-3 times out of 26 years is not too shabby. Considering the amount they make, that's pretty good. A tip for you, please order your tamales or masa about 2-3 weeks prior, pre-pay for them, DO NOT LOSE YOUR YELLOW RECEIPT, pick them up on December 23rd or 24th and you do not have to wait in the humongous line!! It only takes 5-10 minutes to get your order and your out. Their other food during the year is pretty good too. Hope you give them a try.

Have always bought masa from here so i decided to get already made tamales. BAD decision they wer SUPER SMALL and the sweet one was sooo overcooked it was very hard to eat. Im very dissapointed their prices are not cheap so was very surprised to see the tamales wer not good

Been going here since the 80's yo! And the food still tastes the same! Comfort food at its finest,I love the little pieces of potato in the beef tacos and homemade salsa. They used to serve fresh chips with your order,but time and inflation changes things. The only other tidbit I wish they could improve on are the hours. They're only open to 5 during the week and 2 on weekends. They still make tamales thousand their delicioso!

Best masa for tamales.

Great masa for tamales!! Always very soft and spongy not thick and hard. Only place to buy masa for tamales or corn tortillas!! I used to go here with my dad when I was one year old!! I am now 61 years old!! You can't find better quality tamale masa anywhere!!

Asian owned place that sells Mexican food and tamale and tortilla Dough. Surprisingly, they do pretty a good job as we keep coming back about twice a year though they keep increasing their prices. Tacos are pretty good and filling.
