"Los tamales korana son tamales tradicionales se y con una versión diferentes "botanero" El cual es mi favorito, hay diferentes ingredientes pero usualmente pido el de camaron para mi es el más delicioso, tiene camarón pelón, la masa sabe mucho a camarón y tiene un sabor picoso, Rico que no te enchila y te deja con ganas de repetir, uno, dos o hasta tres tamales; sin dudas un gran sabor. Ante la epidemia actualmente cuentan con adecuadas medidas de atención, en mi caso realice un pedido y sobre tuve que pasar con el, tenían para la entrada tapete, me atendieron con cubrebocas y los tamales venían bien cubiertos."
