El Popo!  We love you!!!  Well, I have no basis for comparison because we only come to YOU for masa and fresh tortillas.

We make tamales from scratch as a family once a year (sometimes more often...shhh. Don't tell.) Dad picks me up in the burbs and we drive out to pick up forty pounds of masa and as many tortillas as we can handle.

It's easy to find. There are trucks parked around the corner with the name on them. Someone sits right outside the entrance with their shopping cart. Don't let that stop you from going in. Just smile and say good morning. Once inside, there's really no where to go. Order your masa at $.50 per pound and go. Cash only. English speaking folks like myself can mumble through, but speaking Spanish would be very helpful!
