"The East Village branch of Lower East Side mainstay Factory Tamal, which opened three years ago, is finally up and operating in a handsome but still small premises, beginning at 8 a.m. every day but Sunday, when it opens at 9 a.m. Early morning is just when I want a tamal from a list that runs from the classic (chicken mole poblano) to the quirky (bacon and cheese). If lunchtime has rolled around, check out the meal-size salads, Mexican tortas, or Italian panini, washed down with a mug of grandma’s cocoa. And the admirable breakfast sandwiches are available until the place closes at 7 p.m." - Eater Staff
