Where to get Christmas tamales in Orange County? Las Golondrinas has the best, says jsl, who prefers their veggie and rajas (cheese with three kinds of peppers). El Toro Market has great tamales, says quinntran, but even better are those at Tamale Queen. Northgate Market makes a mean tamal oaxaqueno de puerco en chile rojo, says kare_raisu.

Tamales in OC for a party on December 3rd
I've been to all these places and they are nothing special. I used to get tamales from a good friend of mine whose Mom used to make tamales at Christamas time, but he moved to another state.

The best place that I have found through much research is a place called La Moderna in Norwalk on the corner of Washinton/Norwalk. I live in Costa Mesa so I take the 405N to 605N exit Washington, go right at the end of the exit ramp, left on Washington, right on Norwalk and it's right there in a little shopping mall. These tamales are the next best thing to homemade !!!!!!!-COLLAPSE
