Delicious Tamales

[peewee's lovechild]

What a misnomer.

I just had a couple in our potluck/luncheon.

They suck.

[CosmicCowboy]

Different family members own/run different stores. The one on Castroville road is still decent.

[florige]

PW I thought you said you were going on a diet?

[z0sa]

reuben's is right down the road from me, those are definitely delicious tamales

[peewee's lovechild]

PW I thought you said you were going on a diet?

The diet has been put on hiatus due to holiday luncheons.

It's back on starting Monday. Well, actually it's back on tomorrow because there will be no more luncheons.

Ruebens on Rigsby? WAY too much masa...

[peewee's lovechild]

I fucking hate when they put chingos of masa on tamales.

And another thing, back in the Valley, chicken tamales rule the roost. I can't quite get into this whole pork tamale mess.

[peewee's lovechild]

Damn, there's nothing delicious about these god damn tamales.

I fucking hate their commercials too.

[CosmicCowboy]

Get them at the Culebra store?

Did you try the beans?

[austN Spur]

i stick with the ones made by my mom dad and mi abuela this time of year. Delicous!!!

[Zombie Terri Schiavo]

This topic is making me thirsty.

[JoeChalupa]

I've had them from there and they weren't bad. Chicken tamales? We always had deer or pork tamales and nothing beats the ones mom or grandma make. I can only eat a few this year. :cry

This is the typical response. No one makes better tamales then mama. Pero, que happens when mama can't make tamales?

[austN Spur]

ive helped quite a few times. shes made all 6(brothers) of us help because they make a whole weekend out of it. talking turns

just defending tamales because they are delicious. :flag:tamales

[JoeChalupa]

I've helped make them many times until my mom caught me licking the tamale wrapper while I was rolling.

[I. Hustle]

At least you didn't have to deal with people's homemade crap. Being one of the only guys in my area all these chicks hound me about their crap. "Make sure you get some of my pie, casserole, cake, mac and cheese, blah blah blah". I found a freakin long hair in the broccoli and rice crap someone made.

I always go for the store bought stuff or stuff from the clean freaks.

[z0sa]

Ruebens on Rigsby?

Yep

[Sancha]

You ever eaten a tamale out of a womans chocha?

[Viva Las Espuelas]

Tellez is where it's at. Period

,but homemade are always the best.

[CosmicCowboy]

Have you?

[Sancha]

Have you?

Yes, Very moist.

You never said hi to me at the gas station.

+1 Tellez is the best in SA. Off Gen Mcmullen. Delicious Tamales are HORRIBLE.

[Dr. Gonzo]

reuben's is right down the road from me, those are definitely delicious tamales

That place sucks. I never understood how people would wait hours for them.

You're a fucking idiot. That doesn't even make sense.

[mrsmaalox]

Pork with chile colorado tamales are the best. I don't understand having tamales with green chile or chicken or beans or cheese in them.

[MoSpur]

I don't get how people think that Delicious and Reuben's Tamales are good tamales. They aren't close to good if you've had real tamales. Sorry just my opinion.

[Opinionater]

IMHO, for some I can understand how they would be considered good tamales as not everyone has tasted great homemade tamales that have that special taste that only love can add. And when one is hungry and has the munchies that can also add flavor and cloud ones judgment.

I like them a lot. Too much "masa", I guess I agree I'm no cook. They used to be meatier not even a few years ago if that's what you're saying. Those have always been my favorite tamales though forever, I guess cause they are so close and I've eaten shitloads.

Well that's just because you haven't had my tamales!!

When are you gonna make me some??

It really didn't have anything to do with the masa. There just wasn't any flavor to any of it.

[Sancha]

And they haven't had them the way I serve them.

[joey buttafuoco]

I'd rather have a coney dog.

[mrsmaalox]

In my family, tamales are a New Years tradition. My mom and dad and aunt and uncle do a tamale assembly line on New Years Eve and then everyone meets up at their house after the parties. But since I'm not near them I make them by myself, a couple of days before.

I'm too scared to ask....

[EmerilLagasse]

When it comes to tamales, pork fat rules!!!

[Kamala]

I started going to Martinez on Fredericksburg Road. Their Barbacoa and Tamales are good.

I love good hot sauce. Their hot sauce is some seriously hot shit. You could damn near shits your hemorrhoids out with the flames of fire shooting out your ass.

[koriwhat]

i just ate a ton of tamales just now but have no clue where they came from.

[Mr Hanky]

I left early.

You got here to late with the beans.

[Ginofan]

I will give you 12.8 pesos per dozen, how does that sound?

[JudynTX]

The best tamales are those homemade. Like the ones we made a few weeks ago. :D

[Blake]

anyone have a good place other than Delicious or Reubens?

[Viva Las Espuelas]

Tellez or homemade. That is all.

[lebomb]

Tellez or homemade. That is all.


X2 Tellez is very, very good.

[Blake]

Tellez or homemade. That is all.

I'll check them out this year.

thx.

[Viva Las Espuelas]

I'll check them out this year.

thx.

My advice to you is get your order in early. They're kinda tamale Nazis as we get closer to Christmas. They have quite a few varieties. All good.

that's pretty much anywhere. That's why I'm asking now.

[MannyIsGod]

They're really not very hard to make and they're so good. Best part of coming home for Christmas is making more tamales.

We poor mexicans have to have something to unwrap on Christmas! :lol

[AmericanWoman]

You have to have the masa just right or they won't taste that great. Not hard to make but does take some time and the more help you have the better. Homemade all the way.

[blizz]

they are disgusting...i can't believe they have the nerve to call themselves delicious tamales. they're horrible. try tellez instead.

[Pick of Destiny]

tellez ain't all that either.

[lebomb]

tellez ain't all that either.


..............please fill us in on what IS all that.

[Pick of Destiny]

I tried the chicken mole tamale from The Ice House and it was pretty damn good.

[Viva Las Espuelas]

Uh oh. He may just bust out the authentic card.

[Pick of Destiny]

..............please fill us in on what IS all that.

Just sayin' that they aren't all that to me. I've had better.
