"After Mona's Kitchen, a quick trek down the 101 and into the edge of the Fashion District is Artesano Tamaleria. Patricia Escárcega quickly points out that Artesano's tamales are made by machine, not by hand. Escárcega does not disparage owners Jorge Gonzalez and Nelida Ayala for their choice, and says the tamales 'do not taste radically different than those assembled by hand.' Escárcega describes Artesano Tamaleria as a 'reimagining the neighborhood tamaleria (tamale shop).' Escárcega provides a warning about the parking situation, but has clear favorites on the menu." - Mona Holmes
