Anyway I found some for $27/dozen that are pretty darned good. Mixed beef and pork with red sauce. Low Medium heat level. Lived thru the night after eating 2 so I guess they're safe 😎 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My wife and daughters spend all day making them its work. I rember back in the day my nana making 100 dozen by herself and then selling them 10 a dozen I have great respect for those who take the time to make them. What aggravates me is buying them only to get masa tamales with very little meat filling. There's a delicate balance and I know it's subjective but I do like a bite of meat with the masa. What I bought yesterday was a nice balance and I'm happy with them. Might have to try my hand making them again since I should be off work this coming week and it will give me something to do.

dutchmanazA1 Report post Posted Monday at 04:01 PM For those interested I picked up mine at Hunt hwy and Thompson Rd across from the circle K. Almost like a portable market out there with people selling all sorts of things. Unsure how often she's there - I didn't think to ask. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Curtis Reed Report post Posted Monday at 04:18 PM The pork shop tamales were very good with lots of meat. The red chili pork was nice and spicy. Haven’t tried the green chili yet. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
