jealous but also that sounds like a hell of a lot of effort to make when i just wanna do nothing
What's the best place in Houston? Also, I live in Austin, know any great tamale places here?If you live in Houston, my family restaurant in the heights will be selling them for pretty much the rest of the month. Again, family recipe, all made from scratch. It takes honestly like an entire day to make Tamales right.
I'm so full right now, but still scarfing down tamales. They're so good.
Tamales are mediocre filler food, but great if you love filling up on a bunch of cheap corn meal. Everyone thinks their family's tamales are the greatest, but no, your abuelita's tamales are just as underwhelming. I need tamales to be as spicy and soggy as possible to even be palatable, but even then they generally feel like a waste of calories, and I say that as
someone who typically loves pigging out on Mexican food. The preponderance of tamales is one of the many things that annoys me around Xmas time, humbug!
Krejlooc I didn't know you were in Houston! Where do I go to partake in the tamales?
Side question: have you ever had tamales from those people that go around bars selling them from big plastic containers? Those are great in a drunken pinch.
I am cooking the grill today, steak and hamburgers are now a christmas food

.I love tamales but my family is extremely white so this would never occur. I consider this an absolute loss
I too have been stuck at Little Woodrow's in midtown at 1am with horrible hunger pangs even though the squad said we'd leave and get dinner like 5 hours ago.
Costa Rican here reporting as well. Mexican tamales are ok, but I prefer ours.Our family made tamales but we're Costa Rican so they're a different style. (And more delicious 😋)
I still like the Mexican style though.
Here in DR our version of tamales called pasteles en hoja, which are of course made of plantain instead of corn, are a christmas food.
Ain't that that truth. Honestly if the whole family ain't making them I not even thinking about making some. How much you sell the tamales for?If you live in Houston, my family restaurant in the heights will be selling them for pretty much the rest of the month. Again, family recipe, all made from scratch.

Yuca version is nice the thing I dont like about it is that the yuca flavor drowns the flavor of meat a bitI'm glad someone posted this before I had to. There is a yuca version as well which I tend to prefer.
Hell yeah. That's exactly how I had mine. Coffee and salsa Lizano haha.Costa Rican here reporting as well. Mexican tamales are ok, but I prefer ours.
Coffee, salsa Lizano, a bit of bread and the beauty above... Food from heaven.
