Best Tamale Shop Orange Near Me

4worldlovers:
As of late, and after a very long, tedious, and expensive search for the very least decent tamales, we have been buying from Jovita Tamales, in Escondido? Vista?, right off the 76 going East. Most other places, including fancy, or should I say expensive places, they serve tamales that keep missing the mark of excellence on the making. They either drown them in a very unappetizing sauce, or the masa needs improvement, or simply put, don’t have what it takes. Jovita, mother and daughter team, does the job. On that note, ever the searchers, and being in the Orange area, we zeroed in Tamaleria Rincón Sinaloense, which according to many reviews, knew how to prepare decent tamales. At $21+ the dozen, we purchased 2 dozen, 6 of each: Rajas or Spicy Cheese with Chili, Pork, Chicken and Beef. Arrived early before appointment, around 10 AM (opens at 8?), and the place with only one couple eating, appeared dormant. Young, should I say pretty lady?, popped out from what I would assume was the k...

This Tamaleria has very tasty Tamales. I've tried their Pork and Cheese Spicy. Both are very tasteful. Impressive flavor which now I bought 15 pieces to take with us to Tor, Canada. I've heard they have some regular customers traveling from far distance, I guess I'm their new farthest customer. I do recommend for you to try this place and I will definitely come back again on my next visit to OC.

A hundred years ago the table land called El Modena was covered with sagebrush and cactus webbed with sheep and cattle trails. Early in 1886 a town was laid out in the brush country and named Modena, but to eliminate confusion with another town an El was added to the name. The town was soon settled by colonists from the middle west who belonged to a "Society of Friends", more commonly called Quakers.


A meeting house was needed and in June 1887 work was started on a building located on a two and one-half acre plot on Chapman Avenue donated by four members of the congregation. The whole community co-operated in the project and on August 15, 1887 a meeting house was dedicated.


David Hewes, though not a Quaker, donated a large church bell. The building stood high and conspicuous in a land that had few trees or houses. The friends were newcomers to California and were not acquainted with its unusual weather. Their new building was only one month old when a desert wind called a Santa Ana roared across the open country and pushed the building from its foundation.

The building collapsed and the heavy bell crashed to the ground and completely wrecked the structure. When the wind died down the friends surveyed the wreckage and with no hesitation cleared the debris and started building again. The second church was built on the lines of the first but was fortified against the weather. For ninety years it stood as a monument in the heart of El Modena.
