Roosevelt Tamale Parlor - San Andreas

Great food and great service sum up our experiences at Roosevelt's.

Small cozy restaurant, friendly service. Tamales came out quick and were delicious! Neighborhood a little on the sketchy side, but worth the trip.

Awesome little space with thoughtfully prepared food and welcoming, come as you are atmosphere. The pozole is amazing as are the plantains!

Excellent Mexican plates and tamales. Chiva tamale, Chile relleno, and shrimp enchilada are all excellent. Chile relleno uses actual poblano pepper (not Anaheim). Shrimp had a nice char from the grill. Pepitas on the tamale was a nice touch. A , we will definitely come again!

I first ate here in 1980. Food was always delicious but crazily enough, I haven't been here in 35 years as ownership went through several changes. I had lunch here today and was so glad to be back at this deep Mission jewel. Chips and salsa were crisp, fresh and tasty. Mild and spicy options and both hit it. The cheese enchilada was actually extraordinary the gravy!!! Wow!!! Refried beans were silky smooth and so much better than it needed to be. Rice just melted nicely in the mouth. The staff person was so welcoming when I told him how long it had been and stated the recipes are all the originals. Can't wait to be back.
