I love the flavor of the green chicken tamales. The flavor of the sauce has a little pic to it and the masa is to die for.
They also have wonderful Mexican sweet bread.
I moved to Sacramento 10 years ago haven't been able to get a single tamale as good as the Mascota prepares. My ex husband's family lives there and he'll always bring me a dozen back when he visits.
Thanks Mascota

Definitely the BEST TAMALES in L.A.!!!
By A Yahoo! Contributer, 01/13/08
After reading the reviews from this site I had to go to La Mascota Bakery and check it out for myself. I was pleasantly suprised by the inviting appearance of outside of the building. The taste of their tamales, beans & rice made the trip more than worth it! They went above and beyond my expectations and I will Definitely be going back. I love this place!

Best tamales in town

I always come to Mascota for my tamales (since the early 80s). Usually I get a dozen to take home. My favorite are the chicken tamales. I love their masa.

I used to love their bread, however, last time bread was horrible.

What has happened to the quality of La Mascota? For over twenty years, I used to love their bread, tamales, menudo. However, I recently bought bread, and my family & I were so dissapointed. The bread was flat & rock hard. I am pretty sure they use more shortening/lard than usual. The 'Conchas' & other bread was more like a cookie & not bready at all. We all took one bite & threw out the rest of the sweet bread.

Absolutely Tasty!

My husband's Grandmother has been buying tamales from here for decades. They're absolutely tasty! My Holiday parties just cannot meet it's fullest potential unless we have Mascota tamales. Our family seems to be spoiled with the excellent taste of these tamales that no other can compare.
Thank you Mascota Bakery!

We live on the same block as la Mascota. My husband was born there a couple of years before they opened. For Twenty years I have watched them grow and thrive. I have to remember to take a different street home on holidays because their tamales are so popular. It is our official duty, at family gatherings, to bring the tamales. Now it has been ...
