DOWNEY, Calif. (KABC) On the day before Christmas Eve, many people waited in line up to three hours to buy a holiday favorite, masa (tamale dough), at Amapola Deli and Market. Usually we would come like at five in the morning. But we decided to sleep in. It was worst this year because of the pandemic, said Cristina Salinas, an Amapola customer.
Even through a pandemic, there have been long lines of customers at two of Amapola s locations like this one in Downey. At their Florence-Firestone site, the line wrapped around the entire block.
