The Tamales plate was fantastic. I got a variety: beef red, chicken red, and chicken green because I wanted to try some different kinds, and they were all delicious. Even the rice and beans were tasty enough to notice the quality. They even put foil around the can of Coke to keep the top covered and to help keep it cold on the delivery drive over. I will definitely add this place to my rotation.

Pictured are the Beef w/ Green tamales. I love to add extra salsa verde from their restaurant. I am SUPER picked with Mexican food, especially with tamales....even more so while pregnant right now. Aside from my Nana's growing up - these are amazing and delicious. I am so lucky to have these close by. You won't be disappointed. Flavorful. Tender. Double wrapped. Really - great quality.

Wow! Truly the best tamales, rice, and beans I've had in a long long time! Totally homemade! Reminded me of my mom's rice so much, she learned from Johnny Garcia who used to have a place in town. I will be ordering again!

Never disappointed with my order with Jovita Tamales. Tamales are delicous and fresh. They are flavorful and never dry. The beans were great! Highly recommend Jovita.
