About
Mama's Hot Tamales Cafe in a non-profit restaurant/community center in MacArthur Park dedicated to helping local residents learn to cook and sell tamales. One side of the shop is a bookstore that sells indigenous arts and crafts while the other side functions as a restaurant and organic coffee shop. The place is bright and airy--the wooden tables are painted in electric blues, yellows and oranges and engraved with suns and winding vines. The menu offers tasty aguas frescas and tortas on soft, fluffy bread; but the culinary superstars are the homemade tamales, which are stuffed with fresh ingredients like cheese, green chilies, chicken and mushrooms and served with perfectly piquant house hot sauce.
