What User likes about Tamales Brenda's:
The business has been open for 3 years. A little expensive for food. Owners known by locals are therefore popular. Hamburgers and hot dogs are served with onions and pepper slices, but they are nothing special. Tamales are ok and the Corn and Hot Cheetos Corn are the best. Hotdog $3.00 Hamburger $3.99 Fries and onion rings $3.50 Hotdog and fries $5.00 Hamburger and fries $6.50 View all feedback.

One of my favorite late night stops! Brenda is so cute and sweet and makes all the food in her driveway! Perfect spot for a little home cooking late at night :

This place is great. Fair warning, it's like a grocery car, but they have a few tables on the side. The bacon-wound hot dogs are delicious and the French fries...

One of the hidden gems in San Diego! The hot Cheetos elote is absolutely perfect. The tamales are fantastic, especially the beef, and surprisingly, the strawber...
