Where to Find the Best Tamales in Los Angeles | Eater LA
"For the past few years, Elia Nixcugtla, who hails from Sierra Norte de Puebla, has been selling tamales from a small cart shaded by a rainbow umbrella alongside the O’Reilly Auto Parts store on Venice Boulevard, just west of Western Avenue. This cart has found a following for having extra moist corn husk tamales, which cost $30 a dozen. The cart has tamales rojos and tamales verdes, both filled with chicken, as well as rajas con queso. On the sweet side, she serves a tamal dulce of pineapple, raisins, and strawberry. Pull up to the curb next to the stand early for delicious, hassle-free tamales without the long waits. Monday through Saturday, 5 a.m. to 12 p.m., Venice Boulevard just west of Western Avenue." - Bill Esparza
