    I found the Original Tamale Co at the Farmers Market in Compton and I usually buy 2-3 tamales from them because they are delicious! I enjoy their tamales so much that I decided to cater from them for my daughters Bridal shower. The tamales were a big HIT! Guest were coming back for more and telling me how good they were. They delivered the tamales hot and ready and the guys who made the delivery were so nice! Oh yes, out of a 1-5 stars, their customer service was easily 5 plus stars!
