What Athena Contreras likes about Café Tizón:
Came here to pick up some tamales and had a great time. The tamales are absolutely to die for!! Their champurrado is also phenomenal!! If I visit LA again, I am 100% visiting this place for breakfast again.

What Irma Ayala doesn't like about Café Tizón:
The coffee I enjoyed. The chicken tamal not so much. I ordered two. The tamales were cold and not to die for honestly. Both tamales were brown, the chicken was brown like it was past due. This isn’t a place I would go to eat tamales. Service: Dine in Meal type: Breakfast Price per person: $10–20 Food: 2 Recommended dishes: Tamales View all feedback.
