Dan Koeppel, best-selling author of Banana: The Fate of the Fruit that Changed the World, writes: "I honestly thought that there wasn't room for another gourmet tamale in Los Angeles. What I learned instead was that prior to La Guera Tamalera there were no gourmet tamales in Los Angeles. I love La Guera Tamalera."
Excerpts from Yelper Lianne T.: "The drool-worthy, delectable tamale delights were awesome…The creator is so sweet and quite smart about how she operates the business and comes up with tantalizing, healthy morsels to pleasure your taste buds…the FIGNANA equals FIG + BANANA, thereforehence...the ISH-NANA!!! Can't wait to try more from the genius that is this tamalera." Read Lianne's full review here.
Sandi "Mama" Romero of Mama's Hot Tamales Café writes: "La Guera's organic tamales are absolutely out of this world, and I highly recommend that you try them all!"
Excerpts from Yelper Tatertots Rock X.: "Ok, I am now finally thrilled with the Los Angeles Tamale festival thanks to finding this amazing little tamale company… I am the ultimate meat eater, but after trying their spinach and mushroom tamale…I could be happy to eat these all the time if someone forced me to be a vegetarian…so delicious...I still LOVE their pork."

Jennifer Stern, 4th-grade teacher and former tamale-skeptic, writes: "I've never been a huge fan of tamales, but I was completely blown away by La Guera Tamalera's organic chicken in green sauce tamale. Not only was it delicious, but my body could feel that I was eating something healthy. It was light yet satisfying, and hours after I had finished my plate, my tummy felt like it had been given a warm, gentle hug. You have to try these tamales!"
Elda Antonio, owner of Yummy Bites Gluten-Free products, writes: “I have to tell you that your tamales are THE BEST!!!!!!!!! The jalapeño and cheese in blue corn masa are outstanding. My husband I agreed that those are the best tamales we've ever tried. We don't feel stuffed and full after eating them...They are very tasty and smooth and light to the tummy.”
Happy LGT customer, Laura Perry, writes: “I just wanted to tell you that the tamales were a MAJOR hit for New Year's Eve. Everyone raved on how good they were -- and your salsa is excellent!! I will definitely be ordering from you again.”
