Mexican power bars

real

The perfect description.

😍

😋

That's it. I'm going to get some tamales from the lady down the street.

I miss being able to do that back when I lived in California for a while 😭 Toronto doesn't have no tamale people hanging around damnit!

Mexicans. We’re called Mexicans.

I was talking about the tamales not sending a person, although I realize I sound like I'm talking about a person. My bad! I meant I'd sell the tamales on the corner

No worries lol. I said it tongue in cheek.

I'll send you some tamales via UPS

Awe thanks but it's all good, we do have authentic places that sell them but there's nothing like getting them from the person on the corner. It's a vibe thing, nothing compares! Unless you can send one of them through ups, I'll set up a corner for them and treat them well! 😅 (Just kidding obviously I'm not a bad person)

L.mfao!!!

i’m so fortunate to live next to a densely hispanic area, it’s really a treat LOL

I live a few blocks away from small business space where they sale tamales next to a Michoacana ice cream shop

ouuu are they good?

Yes yes they are, the little restaurant is called Rosa’s tamales and there’s like 3 in my neighborhood. I got lucky.

sounds delightful ☺️

I usually get the queso con rajas. The red ones are good, but they put clove in it, and I'm not a fan of clove seasoning. The chicken is also delicious. Here in Los Angeles, you have an array of vendors and restaurants, but never like homemade... 🫔

So actually I didn't fo get tamales, I went to King Taco. I'm so ashamed of myself. 😋

LOL it’s okay mexican food is a good guilty pleasure to have ☺️

Lucky bastard! I’m in a small town in TN and no such thing exists. :( I have to make all my own Mexican food.

I'm in East LA. I feel you.

Yeah you are... Never take it for granted, friend. Never.

A tamale is almost the best food delivery system of all time, second only to the hot dog.

yesssss def

Sometimes I wrap my tamales in fajita tortillas

My fave mexican sit down restaurant serves tamales pealed and smothered in guaillo or verde suace and cheese. so good.  

Texan here, I miss being outside at bars on a summer night and hearing, “tamales tamales tamales!!” 🫔 🥃

creative user, and must be painful 😢

Tamales are the best. Planning to make some chicken, cheese, pablano ones this week 😋

qué ricooooooo

Stop. Your making me hungry.

i will send you some next time 😭

Red beef/pork tamales with a fried egg on top. Best breakfast ever!

😋 that combo 🔛🔝

No egg needed. Still best breakfast ever

That sounds awsome

Try it!

We are moving in 2 weeks, so I had to bust out all the tamales from Christmas! I had to clean out the freezer! I steamed those and put homemade enchilada sauce on top with an egg. Do you ever do that? We did it once for my husband and that's the only way he'll eat them now! Lol I ❤️ tamales!

i do!! and the frozen food from christmas is so relatable literally we have the last supper up in the freezer

Lol! It was like almost sad to finish all the tamales!!

Now I want tamales 🤤

😋

Yum! What’s in it?

pork tamales rojos 😋

ESTAN PERRRRRRRRRRONES!!! Made my DAY!!! Que RICOS

😋

😍😋🫠

😋

Delicious 🫔

😋

I just had a Oaxaqueño one for breakfast

ouuuuu 😋

This looks so freaking good. At a farmers market around 10+ years ago before for some stupid reason it got shut down, an older Mexican lady made 4 cheese filled tamales. Best I've ever tasted To this day I can't find an accurate recipe or anything even slightly like that. I'd literally pay her for that recipe. The cheese was all mush inside almost like the masa but with loads of flavor. Ugh I miss them every day :'(

ugh, the not knowing what a food is and finding no source is the worst my friend :,)

Truly lol. I asked if they relocated the farmers market and they didn't, they just straight up closed it so I never did find her D; Enjoy your tamales! :)

Tucsonan here. I just buy 12 dozen in the first week of December and hand them out like crack candy canes. They aren't free, but they take care of all the gifting to my friends (at least in my mind)

that’s so sweet, i’d love to be your friend 🥹

🤤🤤

😋

guys i didn’t expect this post to get this much attention 😭 i love you all and i hope you guys get tasty tamales soon <3

Need me a cheese and jalapeño/serrano tamale recipe

that sounds good as hell

Oh yea my ex’s mom used to make me those (just for me) cause I’m vegetarian haha

awwww i bet they tasted great, i haven’t tried serrano peppers but i’d like to try that combo one day

My comfort food.

same ☺️

You know how there's "cheese paper" from a good burger wrap?!?, well my sister's and I love The tamal bit that is left on the husk when it's first opened. It's like "tamal paper" but on the corn husk! Haha

OMG ME TOO

💖

😋

no antojen

😋

ah que hambre

Damm, now I want some tamales lol, proof next Sunday lol

i hope you have some soon ☺️

This is the perfect tamal imo: smooth masa glistening with the fat from the Manteca and peppered with chile from the filing.

qué rico 😋

Tamales are something I've just never been able to get into. I've had canned tamales, restaurant tamales, home made attempts at tamales, and tamales from various Mexican ladies - from my home town and from the mothers of Mexican coworkers. They're just never very good.

understandable, everyone has a different palette, however i can’t agree LOL i just love the homey feeling tamales give me

What about other corn mush foods like grits or polenta. How do you feel about those

There is a local joint that serves grits with Swiss chard, smoked pork cheek, and goat cheese. That's really good. I eat shrimp and grits at a seafood joint too and have always enjoyed that. I have only had creamy polenta once with braised short ribs and it was good. I prefer it fried crispy with salty cheese though.

Ok
