I'm taking some tamales to work for our Christmas party. I really don't know anything about what places makes them and where it's best. I want to take some quality ones but I don't have the time/money to sample a bunch of places. any recommendations???
see my sig. they are in austin, however
well that's too bad
try taco bell
goddamnit some al pastor tacos with a few brews sound ing awesome right now.
dont try rositas unless you live in austin because from that point on... no other al pastor taco will suffice
your going to have to go to the hood...delicious tamales near the corner of castroville road and sw 36th st
word. my cousin took me there a while back and nothing else comes close. i've had my share of austin area al pastor tacos and rositas is addicting as .
I have a few friends in Austin.. I'm gonna have to send them over thereword. my cousin took me there a while back and nothing else comes close. i've had my share of austin area al pastor tacos and rositas is addicting as .
My grandma makes tamales... we made about 50 dozen this year. By far the best.
does she sell them?
+1..
I actually travel from Killeen, Tx to get these for Christmas.
At the Just Born Candy Company.
thanks.. I will look into Delicious Tamales. there is one close by.. thanks for the link!
No prob. I've been there a few times and no complaints from me.
no... we take requests before she makes them and give a portion of them away.
the rest we eat or save until christmas.
... I'll have to check it out, since right now I've never had al pastor anywhere else at all comparable to what you can get from the street vendors in Tijuana.
Felix isn't there anymore...they suck now...you've been warned.
yeah, uh.....I think Delicious has gone waaaaaaay downhill myself.
Last year my cousin got some from a joint from the hood that the tamales were super moist and flavorful. I'll see if I can't get a hold of her to see what the name was for ya
My sister is having her yearly tamale making party this week ,you can stop by and learn how to make them or put in an order. She makes all kinds even desert tamales.
She works at Beto's off 410 and Broadway stop by. ask for Jennifer.
I like Rubens tamales myself.
Ruben's Homemade Tamales

Delicious are crap. Go to Ruben's downtown. But be ready tos tand in line.
Rubens masa is WAY too doughy.
That's what happens when you get to popular and you cut corners. Kinda like when Taco Cabana used to be great Mexican food at one time.
Look in the news paper or Criag's list nothing beats homemade when it comes to tamales.
You can also go to a popular lounge/Bar on the south side and ask around there is always someone local that makes them.

I have pretty much given up on all the local SA tamale factories. NONE of them do a good job anymore. Of the "big" name places I probably like Adelita's on Fresno the best, but about 1 out of 4 times they blow it and get the masa wrong...but when they are good, they are good...
The best tamales I have found recently are at a little drive through beer barn on 476 about 8 miles east of Poteet. a local lady makes them for them (only on the weekends) out of wild hog. Just the right masa grind...not too doughy and not too greasy...
