"Tamales Alberto, Echo Park. Tamales Alberto has been around since 1997. They started selling tamales out of the back of a bakery and then moved into this Echo Park location.There are many places to get tamales in LA but none quite with the diverse selection, flavor, or quality from their family recipes.Priced very well, the tamales are offered in around a dozen different types of fillings...From chicken with green sauce to cheese & jalapeno to even blackberry. Also offered are vegan and vegetarian style tamales."
