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.

Tamales are delicious 🤤 and service was great! Will definitely be back for more.
