👍👍 OMG! I have t even finished eating and I'm writing this review. It. Is. Delicious! Ordered two tamales verdes and a quesadilla de asada. Perfectly spicy. Fabulous flavors. I can't wait to go back on a weekend and try their weekend specials, particularly their consome de chivo ( goat stew)

Blanquitas Tamales

Mexican restaurant

👍 They close way too early. They do have very good tamales, they also didn’t have enough to sell at 3:00pm This place can have great potential, food was amazing. Business hours and inside decor should be redone.

Tamales Ogden Champurrado

Mexican restaurant

😠 This used to be my go to spot for tamales, and honestly I don't know what happened to them. I had been craving a tamale for so long and this is the one they gave me. They were also very rude and in a hurry when I was the only one in there. The tamales are over priced for what you get.
