"Son los mejores tamales de Medellín, se sabe desde el sabor de masa, es suave, sazonada en su justa medida, los de cerdo y costilla son muy ricos. Hay opción para llevar frío o caliente, me gusta mucho el empaque porque es muy higiénico y el producto internamente sigue siendo el tamal tradicional."

Prové tamal, morcilla, chorizo, y mi esposa una sopa de arroz con albondigas y…… quedamos sorprendidos!!! Regresare por que ni la pena vale seguir mercando ni cocinando en casa.
