For a good tamale that’s about the right price. Before my dad passed, our family tradition in the fall was to make real green corn tamales. Homemade ground white corn masa, roasted, skinned and seeded green chile and cheese. For the work involved, I’d have to get $60 a dozen. 
I mean just to grind and make the masa was a ton of work!

I've done it. Turned out not so good and as mentioned a metric ton of work. But man, $5 each seems steep. 

I've never seen the tamale shop that someone mentioned. My crappy googlefu shows Cave Creek??

People usually bitch about the cost of tamales until they make em themselves! 

I personally just don’t think they’re worth it either way. That’s all. Rather have a taco. But that’s just me. we got some in rocky point a few months ago, trash. 
 

my captain in puerto lobos family makes shrimp tamales, really good.

Yeah there is no way I would pay that. I just put in an order with the wife. Extra meat, 2-3 seadless olives. Sometimes a Jalapeño slice.

[dutchmanazA1]

I can't see paying $5 each either. I understand the work that goes into them and the cost of ingredients have risen but I don't like them that much. No offense to anyone

Couple tamales pan fried in butter til the outside is crispy and some over easy eggs on top. That’s what dreams are made of.

Funny until you or someone you know gets sick. To buy the food you have to be near the person or they may have coughed on the food or sweat on the food. Proper food handling is not as well understood or stringent. But hey, you're Superman and nothing can hurt you?

I got sick in a foreign country and I was around cleaner establishments. There are many ways illnesses are passed along.

By the way, is your neighbors cat or dog missing?

Luckily my family makes them once a yr but when I do feel like a tamale, the ones that costco sells arent too bad at all.

Never had these before but just saw this come across my feed. I have bought meat and chorizo from here before and its good. Located in Superior

the pork shop in QC sells handmade tamales that look good but haven’t tried them. i’ll stop by today and pick some up and report back. All their stuff is usually really good.  no, they aren’t cheap ($15/6) but i’ll try them anyway. I’m definately not a tamale connoisseur 🤣

That's a deal if they're good. I keep meaning to make a short road trip to try their meat.
