Where to Find the Best Tamales in Los Angeles | Eater LA

"Available for pick-up in Norwalk — or delivery (depending on the size of your order) — Oaxacans Melquiades and Elizabeth Silva offer rare tamales from Pinotepa Nacional in the Costa region of Oaxaca. There’s a $5 delivery fee within ten miles of Norwalk, and $10 beyond ten miles in the Los Angeles area. Family recipes from this Mixteco family include pollo en mole, a spicy mole from their hometown, a milder pollo en chile guajillo, rajas con queso, pollo en salsa verde, and puerco en chileajo, which is a guiso of spicy chile costeño, tomatoes, and garlic. All tamales come wrapped in banana leaves, with a cost of $30 for a dozen. They’re a unique taste of regional Oaxacan tamales in Los Angeles.
