Like all restaurants, the vast majority will be shit. I find that you have better luck with Mexican food trucks and not sit down restaurants.

I've had good tamales in two places. Deep in Baja California at a road side stand, and the tiny taco shops in San Diego.

[Anonymous No.11675599]

Costco tamales are fine. Even good tamales aren't worth the hassle.

[Anonymous No.11675606]

>norteño tamales
literally why

tamales made to the west or to the north of the isthmus of tehuantepec are trash, and belong in the trash

a good tamal is wrapped in hojas de plátano, if the '''''''cook''''''' used anything else for their '''''''''tamales'''''''' it's compromised, in a gastronomic sense, and should immediately be discarded

Is this why you feel threatened by the best cuisine in the universe? Reminds you of the guy who derailed your career as a floor mopper?

If I've learned one thing about tamales it's that everyone and their grandmother think they make the best ones. They are all fucking terrible

The free market seems to agree with me and disagree with you. But if you want to believe people just hire them out of pity because your pride can't handle the truth, I guess you should do what you need to avoid falling into a death spiral of despair and resentment.

Ironically, my retarded magapede brother, isolated because his wife left him, living in TX, ordered 1 dozen tamales from some mex family for xmas, all the while railing and gnashing his teeth about "muh ebil mexicans."

Good tamales are hard to come by. I live in a big city a few hours from the border and I’ve only had a few tamales in my life that are anything worth going back for.

True. There was a mexican place that i went to that was known for its tamales (90% of menu is meh). Ran out fast everyday. Not a place where people line up around the block, but got to get there early to get them. Since i moved, I now get tamales that are just okay, but never a bad tamale

I've learned from my time in America that a lot of authentic food is bullshit and that when Americans and Europeans make improved versions of their own it just turns out better.

I agree, chicken thighs are my favorite cut.
The dark meat that was used in my tamales, however, was shit. It was basically the extremely dark, bloody scraps that were scraped off of bones or some shit. Mystery meat that tasted like fucking shit.
