Guillory's Deli and Tamales

Enjoyed Guillorys for lunch today. Sorry, I could not enjoy the fried chicken this time, but others around me enjoyed it loudly. The green beans and macaroni are absolutely delicious.

I've been back and had the fried shrimp poboy and ham and cheese poboy. Both were delicious. I guess just stay away from the tacos...

I want to love this neighborhood deli/food mart/hole in the wall because I'm doing a project in the area and keep passing it. I got the 3 taco and 3 tamale special. The tacos were fair to poor and for a place with tamales in the name, I was disappointed. They are average at best. However, I will definitely come back and try other items such as their nice looking poboy selection. On a positive note, the ice cold bottle of Barq's was delicious.

Absolutely delicious. I was skeptical since they self claim they have the best tamales but they Definitely have a run in that claim. Will be back if for the tamales alone. Shrimp plate was good but nothing extraordinary. The people were all very friendly and felt like they were all good friends.

Ordered a large roast beef and Swiss po-boy... A special request to ensure that Swiss cheese was melted. The cashier was quick to point out that the Swiss cheese will melt when it hits the hot roast beef gravy. Ok...

The po-boy ended up being served to my table without Swiss cheese. By the time I noticed it and returned to them and they corrected the error, The Swiss cheese slices did not melt because it was placed on top of the cold tomato that was on top of the gravy and beef and also because the hot roast beef gravy is no longer hot. Only warm. And Swiss cheese slices do not tend to melt when hanging outside the sandwich.

Ugh. Minus one star.

But, hey! The po-boy was delicious!
