Best Tamales?

I'll eat tamales any time of year, but this is the season when I buy them in bulk. What place has the best tamales in Albuquerque? And how about vegetarian tamales?

They use ground pork instead of shredded pork and they are more round than square. If you have any oppurtunity to taste one DO IT!!!!! At The Feast in Jemez pueblo was where I got the last tamale, sometimes they sell them on the side of the road. Once a lady came to our office and sold some to us, any type of Indian market where they sell oven bread they should sell tamales as well. Take a chance and order a tamale. YUM YUM it is definately worth it.; ▶ Reply to This

I grew up with Javier Posa and have been enjoying his family's tamales for years. They are exceptional and a staple in our house.; ▶ Reply to This
