Has anyone ever been to Mama’s Hot Tamales Cafe and if so, I’m just curious as to what you think about it? Are the tamales that good? Thanks in advance, Abby

Is there a reliable source for a variety of authentic Tamales around the tri-state area of NY? Not just for today(5/5), although it would be nice...

Here the less common sweet tamales are made with cinnamon, aniseseed, raisins, and pine nuts.

I’ve been cooking Mexicam food for many years and have made some good Tamales in my time. I want to try to make them Southern US/Mississippi Style. The "Red Hots" of Barbecue country. I don’t know where to begin. Do...

I just had THE best tamales ever...unfortunately, they were homemade by a Colombian woman who went back to Colombia. Where oh where can I find really good, homemade-like tamales around north Jersey? Ones that are not hot and...

Brian, I know of plenty of places that make good tamales. Even some of the locally mass-produced ones (e.g., Dallas Tortilla Factory, La Popular, Luna’s, Hot Damn! Tamales, et al.) are of decent quality. (So far as I know,...
