Introducing... The Best Tamales That I Have Ever Tasted

Sometimes I go to Farmer’s Market with produce in mind. Ever since my discovery of the Tamales stand, I always go to Farmer’s Market with tamales as a priority. So, even if I do not have anything on my mental-grocery list to buy, I would happily go just to visit the TAMALES stand!

I became an avid farmer’s market shopper since last year. I started my farmer’s market adventures at the Murray City Park location, and I have always been going to that particular location since then. I remember never having to wait in line to get tamales last year. This year, there is always a line.

Yes, tamales are only $1.50 each and they are worth every penny of it! There are three types that you can choose from: pork, chicken, and jalapeno and cheese. I usually order 5 tamales to go for me and Tyler (my boyfriend). We like the chicken better than the pork (something we would never say at Café Rio). We like the jalapeno and cheese, but because it’s meatless, we cannot consume solely that. Despite our preferences, we found that the best tamales experience is when there is a variety of flavors, so we always have a taste of every flavor.

A petite-sauce container of salsa accompanies every one-tamale that is purchased, but I can think of a couple instances when I was given one container short of the amount of tamales that I purchased. I would double check and ask if there is a discrepancy, for their salsa adds the perfect finishing touches to the great tasting tamales. Without the salsa, the tamales taste incomplete.
