[Forever_frost]

I'd love to get some fresh ones. Haven't had any since I was at Ft. Hood

[MILK]

[paul_376]

[lincolnboy]

Having some fresh one this friday. Yum bean tamales, cheese and jalepeno tamales.

[turboford]

Now you got me craving some.

[Cooter]

I could go for a gross or so

[unkoricky]

Does anyone know a place locally that makes them fresh?

When my friend visits Mexico, he'll bring home like 50 tamales that his grandma makes, they are so good.

We had a lady come in the other day, to test our steamers. They are out of the McAllen, and these are seriously the best tamales I've ever had in my life. I normally get them from the little old Mexican ladies that cook up 100 dozen, and go sell them door to door. So I'm well aware of what true mexican tamales are. These blow them all out of the water.


I'll find out the name of the place, as I can't remember off the top of my head. They do sell them online though.

my grandmother, mom, and aunts used to get together around this time to make the best tamales I've ever had in my life. NOW they refuse to make them.

As much as I hate to say it, Tamales are overrated. I have never met a tamale I really liked. And my family makes them every year.

I don't get the big deal.

Now, bunuelos, that is a different story. Those are a staple at Christmas time.

You can order from your local Pappasitos, we used to make several thousand a day back when I was working there.

Delia's is the name of the place I was talking about. They have several locations around McAllen, Pharr, San Juan, etc.

No website, but you can order over the phone and have them shipped. They arrive hot, too. Never frozen.
