Managed to get some tamales this morning. The place is Cash-Only. They had more of selection but today they only had Strawberry and Pork tamales available. They were $2.30 each, so $32 and some change for a dozen. The dozen came in a disposable aluminum foil pan and covered with aluminum foil. They were piping hot. They were very oily, not of the familiar type to me, corn husk wrapped but of a plantain (think banana) leaves. One needed a napkin just to pick one up, they were oily all over. Taking it apart they were filled nicely with pork. Each tamale was about twice the size of the usual corn-husk type so that justifies the price. The corn-husk type I typically pay a dollar or so each so the price is definitely reasonable. The tamale flavor was as you would expect as from a corn-husk type but not at all spicey. You may want to add your own spice/sauce to taste. I found a small bone in the first one I tried, not sure that was supposed to be there. I have had Plantain wrapped tamales before. They were usually from a different region like Puerto Rico. They were sweeter than the typical Mexican variety found here in Joliet, with ingredients like raisins and plantain mixed in the masa. This was not the case here. They also sold desert corn-husk tamales. I purchased one. It was strawberry flavor. It is definitely not a lunch or dinner meal since it is filled with a sweet Custard thus making it a dessert in my opinion and it was delicious. A desert tamale- something new to me! They have no indoor seating as of yet but I hear that is coming soon. Again, the hours are limited to 5am to 2pm M- Sat. I hear they will expand into the evening later. If you are having a big event, this might be the place to get your tamales. Order ahead of time and again- CASH ONLY.
If you want some real tamales come to this place!! Love the costilla de puerco and frijoles con queso.
I had ordered tamales for Christmas last year. I ordered 3 dozen and a lot of them were undercooked. I had high hopes with them but it was the opposite. I had tasted their tamales prior to ordering, which is why I ordered through them, but to my surprise their were undercooked and one of my family members got sick. Bummer! I will not order from them again.
Awesome tamales and menudo. The family is so nice. If u r close to area, must stop.
Walked in expecting a large assortment of different tamales. That is exactly what I received. The tamales Oaxaquenos were amazing. I recommend the Costilla de Puerco en Salsa Roja. Small business atmosphere with kind service.
Amazing tamales definitely worth the try. My favorite is the banana leaf chicken tamales.
They were pretty decent ???? seasoning good I had both styles traditional with corn husk and Oa xcaqueños in the banana leaf are some of the better ones I've had red and green Chile pork and chicken ...... I would definitely go back
These are very good tamales. They didn't have the bean and cheese ones when we went but we tried the pork in corn husk and the chicken in corn husk. Also tried the pork in banana leaves. They were all very good. The chicken is mild. The pork in corn was a bit spicy and the pork in banana leaf was mild. I'll definitely be back. Yeah they may not taste like your grandma's recipe but unless you want to spend an entire day in the kitchen, these are a very decent substitute.
