Nice little market. I intentionally went to California Street Market for tamales. After overcoming a language barrier, I was able to purchase frozen tamales to take home and eat the next day (they have some warm tamales ready for purchase and eat.) I tried cheese & jalapeño and chicken tamales. The chicken were delicious, the cheese were dry and not very cheesy or spicy. Next time, I'd buy only chicken (or maybe some pork too) and steer clear of the cheese. While there, I picked up some chips, salsa, Mexican pastries and a few other odds 'n ends (grocery-related). Friendly staff, a lot of items packed into a small space. 4 stars

They sell warm tamales here at 9:30 am. I've been trying to find some good cheese jalapeño tamales in the area. These had the cheese & green chopped chiles kind of mixed into the middle of the tamale. This is a market so it's to go. I could have ripped it apart and eaten it in the car. Instead, I took it home, put it on a plate and added my own red & green salsa which made it better. Not a lot of places just sell tamales to go any more so this was nice.

Could be friendlier, No hello or thank you have good day. Tamales 3.48 and doesn't come with salsa. If they had better service I would return.

Still good after all of these years. My mom would give me $5 to get lunch which typically consisted of 2 tamales, a bag of chips and a soda. The tamales are a little stingy on the meat now and 3 times as expensive, but they still have that flavor I remember from my childhood.

This review is ONLY for the Tamales. My first time I got the 10 tamales and they were wonderful. Just the right ratio of meat to masa, ~50/50. On my second visit the tamales were inconsistently made. A few seemed like 75% masa, which is too much for my taste. I may be back, I might not. I hope the consistency improves so I can make it a destination.

Nice local market! I came to try the tamales. I got a chicken and cheese & jalapeño tamale. They were around $3 each. I'd say they were pretty standard in terms of flavor, but still yummy! The masa was moist and there was a good filling ratio. They have a pretty big selection of Mexican snacks and pastries to try out as well. This is on the corner of a street in a somewhat residential area. There was plenty of street parking when I went!

First do not let outside appearances fool you. This is a nice clean corner market. The people who run the shop are very nice. The Tamales definitely get 4 stars. The prices are very reasonable it has everything you want from a little corner shop. We will definitely be going back.

Fabulous place!! Have been a customer for > 10 years. Always squeaky clean, everything from fresh super premium bread to bulk spices, fresh produce (ginger!), meats, eggs, dairy, canned goods, great beers, and the entire staff is consistently friendly, bilingual, industrious, and gracious. Respect!
