All Star Tamales Catering - Pittsburg

Wife and I always come here as our go-to for Tamales. They have really good Tamales here and they taste just like how Grandma used to make them and its very rare when I say that about any food. Good Job All-Star and see you soon.

So, so good. There’s something for everyone. Huge tamales for all: for my meat eating adult son, vegetarian tamales for others and wonderful vegan tamales for me. If you have a sweet tooth, there are a couple of kinds of dessert tamales. Buy them by the Baker’s Dozen and you will be pleased with the value. They freeze very well and make an almost instant meal when you are hungry. Yes, they are very filling. I am very happy that they are now at the Pinole Farmer’s Market on Saturday mornings. My tummy is very happy also. Thanks Linda and Leo. ?

Tried these wonderful tamales!!!today. Very moist and nice fillings. Owner very nice. Excellent customer service. Can't wait to try more. Will definitely order again!!!

Their tamales are the best I've ever had. Will definitely order from them again.

When I attended UCSB in Santa Barbara, I used to order homemade tamales from a lady in my neighborhood (Isla Vista . They were the first and THE best tamales I have ever had. Nothing else I tried in restaurants beat them. I would literally order 20 from her every time. I 've been trying for years to find something that are better or similar to hers and these tamales from All Star come 2nd to them and are top notch! I still miss the $1.50 tamales from SB (the ones here are like $4 each i think but these definitely are the closest I found to them. As long as they taste good, I 'm willing to spend the extra few bucks on them. My order: green chicken tamales. The masa is the perfect texture and the chicken is very tender. I recommend steaming them instead of microwaving them, even though it does take longer (it 's worth it!! trust!! I 've tried some of the other ones spinach and cheese, red chicken oaxaca style, and green chile and cheese but the green chicken one was the best. Out of the salsas, I think the habanero one tastes the best! The location is pretty random. It 's hidden away at a building where you wouldn 't expect a restaurant to be. I expected to see a tent (like the pictures show , but it seems like they moved into this building, maybe because of Covid 19(? Definitely give this place a try! Amazing tamales with a touch of nostalgia for me : '
