Tamale Power
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 10/24/04
I've been driving to La Mascota (from the SF valley) for tamales for 6 years now. The guys at the Gas co. Hollywood base rave for them and within minutes , are gone . I order 7-10 doezen per buy and the cheese , chicken and pork tamales all go. The texture of the tamale is perfectly cooked down to a wonderful masa sensation and the chile is simmered close to grandmas style .

La Mascota Bakery is the best!!!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 12/07/04
This bakery has been a part of my life ever since I can remember. My Mom and Dad would make the trip to LA from West Covina to buy their Pan Dulce and tamales. It is easily found off the 5 frwy of 60 frwy on Whittier Blvd. Although they have grown over the years in terms of the size of the bakery, they have not changed anything in their recipes. can relive my childhood memories through their good products.

Excellent Tamales

My family have been La Mascota fans for MANY years. Not only is the pan dulce the best I have ever tasted but the tamales are beyond compare! We travel fron the South Bay whenever we get a craving.

Delish!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 02/10/05
The tamales at La Mascota are on my top two list, second only to the ones my family makes every Thanksgiving. Although I don't work anywhere near there anymore, I'll happily make the 15 mile drive through lA traffic when I have a craving. And you can't get a better deal, at a buck a piece!

The food is uncomparible. Perfection is the word.
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 02/06/06
I Tried La Mascota for the first time this winter. I was overly impressed by their Tamales, and Cakes. When ever I feel the need to have Tamales or a cake for a special occasion I will indeed go to La mascota. I highly recommend trying them.You'll be impressed. No one will ever compare to the heart and soul that they put into their work. I Love it.
