I am from California and we grew up on Mexican Food out there they have the Bomb Mexican Food!!!!!,so when I came out here,I was like introduced to New Mexican Food (not the same)!! I found El Modelo and fell in love with it,the food is awesome,but I must say the Tamales are a little too expensive!!!!! They go for 28.22 a dozen when we use to get them for 15.00 a dozen in California WOW!!!! Thats alot.I kinda had to stop going there for awhile it was adding up on a fixed income. Very Sad about that. Hopefully they wont go higher!!!! I will have to start making my own.
Pros: Anything you get is good!!!
Cons: Too Expensive for the Food!!!!

Order the tamale plate at El Modelo and I guarantee you, when you open the plain styrofoam container, your heart will all but stop beating. Three massive (and I mean massive) logs of pork-filled masa bliss; topped with lettuce and tortilla chips. Not at all dainty, these tamales are not for the faint of heart. Cut into them and you're greeted with shards of pork so meaty and juicy that all other tamales are put to shame. Also try the heavenly sopaipillas and the searing carne adovada; they're all excellent. Yes, it's all takeout-but it's all to die for.
