text: I love tamales so when I saw this place on Yelp I knew I had to try it The draw for me besides the rating was the selection several types of tamales including a couple vegetarian vegan and dessert options There is something for everyone Their website also boasts NO lard shortening gluten preservatives MSG soy trans fats high fructose corn syrup or junk here FabulousnnYou can place an order via telephone email or form on their website I really like the convenience of the electronic options and it ensures there is no miscommunication on your order They recommend placing your order within hours I placed mine a day in advance and everything went very smoothly I used email and received a prompt responsennThe interaction at the store was just as painless as the ordering process The store was easy to find with the large TAMALES on the plazas street sign It is a cute shop with a counter and comfortable seating It took a couple minutes to locate our order in the back then we paid and that was it nnThe tamales are sold in sets of two sealed and labeled I was really impressed with the packaging We ordered two dozen and they were frozen for pickup which was great Prices Pack is Dozen is and Dozen is You are obviously getting the better deal with the dozen The price difference is not vast cents per tamale between the pack and dozen costs but for each dozen that is in savingsnnHeating instructions Microwave frozen tamale wrapped in damp paper towel for four minutes with wax paper and corn husk intact OR steam frozen tamale for minutes on medium heat with wax paper and corn husk intact I used the microwave option and it worked perfectlynnThe moment of truth How do they taste Well I am sure you already guessed from my fivestar rating that I am in love THEY ARE AMAZING We started with the Pork Red Chile which I was most excited since I LOVE adobada sauce and it exceeded my expectations The masa is moist and very flavorful all their meats chicken beef pork are tender and the amount of sauce is perfect Oh my gosh the FLAVOR nnWe also had Chicken Chipotle Chicken Green Chile Beef Red Chile TexMex and Poblano Chiles Monterey Jack We really liked the flavor of the Chicken Chipotle and there is a little kick Their chile verde is so so good I cannot believe I missed Chicken Mole on the menu so that is on my list for the next order Favorites Pork Red Chile Chicken Green Chile and Chicken Chipotle I REALLY like the red chile so I am sure all the meat options taste great in it I did not care for the TexMex one so I would pass on thatnnI will definitely be ordering more tamales during my future trips to Arizona Oh yes they traveled the miles well and we are still enjoying them
