It is called Juanitos...big and highly delicious compared to Diana's or Lilliana's. Their tamales are very moist and pretty reasonable. We shall bring some for you to try when we come visit you again or when you bring Peter to Disneyland in Southern California. We have found a better place in ELA for tamales.

Like the sign says, they are by most the best I have ever tasted. Lightly fried in a toasty taco shell, sutffed with chicken, chopped lettuce, and a tomato wedge. Top it off with salsa and you've got a real tasty taco for a little over $2.00. Thanks Brad, Dan and Peter for hosting my family during the hottest days in Seattle history!

Since I joined Alex and family and Brad and family last Thursday evening in Seattle for fish and chips, I do not know how I missed out on the tamales run! Anyway, I scarfed down wild salmon fish, most delectable. Hey, Lai, save some for me on

Thanks for the comments and links. My cousins are still on vacation. So, I'll have to ask how they compare to Liliana's! And this note is from Alex's mom: "I have been a recipient of these delicious tamales for years. Now I have to wait until (they) come visit during the Christmas holidays for these yummy tamales. Can hardly wait......." And here's a sentence I don't think I've ever typed: Keep the tamale comments coming! Hi all. Thanks for the comments and links. My cousins are still on vacation.

How are they compared to Lilliana's? That's usually where we go, but just because it's right across the street from El Mercadito where we shop in East LA. They have these great big buñuelos there that the kids love. Not quite as big as the one in this video, but good still the same! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O2k2rdw4WEU Mmmm!

Just saw the Food Network Good Eats (hosted by Alton Brown) episode "Tamale Never Dies (http://www.foodnetwork.com/good-eats/tamale-never-dies/index.html) -- informative and fun!
