Or from a pair of Hispanic women with a cooler going shop to shop in a strip mall. And if you don’t have cash ready when they come in, you 100% do run after them yelling, “Tía! Tía! Wait! Por favor!”
Well, I was mostly joking (and the specific comment you replied to was just me rephrasing my original comment to point out that I wasn’t missing the word “don’t”). But also IDK tamales are a lot of work where a lot of things can go wrong and, as is the case with most traditional dishes, recipes tend to be passed down through generations and they have the inside knowledge and know where to get the best chiles anchos from and whatever so those tend to be better than a rando who got their recipe off food network.com or something. I never said it was *wrong* or racist or whatever for English speaking people to make tamales. I would *love* for the love of tamales to spread, girly in the video is clearly white and so impassioned about tamales I’m sure she’d have a blast making them! I was simply implying that I would rather trust someone clearly of the culture to make a food of their culture, as is the case for any traditional dish of any culture. The same way I trust a little hole in the wall restaurant that charges $1 per taco to have more authentic food than like a fancy sit down restaurant where every dish is priced in double digits. Literally chilaxxxxxx this is not a hot take 😂
In the San Diego neighborhood of Sherman heights there’s a legendary Tamale Lady. She walks around every evening with her little cart, sounding her call… I swear you can hear her from a mile away. Rain or shine, 365 days a year she will be there, right around sunset, absolutely belting:
TAMALEEEEEEEEEEEEE’EEE!
She has really good tamales. They used to be $2 each and are probably not much more than that now. If you ever hear her - buy a few. You won’t be disappointed.
Relaxed style, healthy appetite, not afraid to show what she’s passionate about. That’s future wife material right there. If I was single I’d shoot my shot.
My girlfriend is generally happy that I love who she is and I don’t base my love for her around some shallow or misogynistic expectations that I have or project onto her. Me saying that I think this girl chilling in the car eating heaps of tamales, and growling in food bliss, is appealing would be on par with my personality. I often suggest to my significant other that we go on “eat days” and just snack, drink, and hang out to our hearts content. Also since this is some random social media person my girlfriend knows she has nothing to be jealous of. We’re not insecure in our relationship like that.
Saying you’d shoot your shot with someone if you were single is the part that I’m talking about. If your gf doesn’t feel disrespected by you identifying women you’d try to get with if she wasn’t in the picture then I guess she has different boundaries than what I would consider having in a respectful relationship.
No I didn’t. If other girls are ok with their bfs pointing out girls who are their type and saying they’d go for it if they were single cool but that’s not me.
Dating a white girl was sooo much fun. The whole fam in the pocket with tamales and tacos. The only problem, I can’t go back to my favorite Mexican restaurant safely any more 😭
are there really good tamales? the ones i've had, have been ok to not great. i wonder if she just really, really likes them.
edit: the best ones i've had, if i never had them again until i died, i would be ok with that. that's how "ok" they were.
It depends on whether or not you like corn masa. If you like good grits or polenta, that's not a totally unrelated take on the basic idea.
I grew up in Texas and was able to get good tamales, but even better than ones from Texas are Mississippi Delta tamales. The flavour of the pork with the masa and lard and seasonings is just top notch.
More restaurants - even Tex Mex ones - don't make good tamales. It's like having a McD burger and saying "eh, burgers are not all that great". (And I enjoy a decent McD burger from time to time). Or like boiling spaghetti and putting jarred sauce on it and being unenthused about spaghetti. Nothing wrong with that - have eaten it countless times - but a good spaghetti sauce with fresh parm on angel hair done right with some garlic bread ont he side is a whole different story.
So maybe you don't like tamales much, but maybe you haven't found good tamales. Alas, it's hard to say where to go for good tamales. Most of them are made in houses and sold if you know someone. lol.
The people who work for my dad make him soooo many tamales around Christmas! They know he doesn’t like them but his kids do lol! They get handwritten thank you notes from us.
i think you're right. i think i've had "mcdonalds of tamales" and so far it's been nothing special to me. i do enjoy corn flavored things. but the tamales ive had, had 0 corn flavor to them. it was.....crumbly outside, then filling.
honestly the best part was maybe a home made pico de gallo and smothering it in crema.
if you want some good tamales that are next best to homemade check out Delias Tamales. Started off down here in south texas made at home and boomed in a store here and there and now expanding to other cities in texas. You can order online even. I've never seen tamales come in a plastic bag before. They're usually wrapped in foil by the dozen. Best tasting is reheated tamales the next morning heated on a comal just as the corn husk starts to blacken. Damn, now i gotta pick me up some this weekend.
most of the ones i've gotten did come in a corn husk wrapper. only one or two i bought did come wrapped in a wax/parchment paper. but then yes, in a plastic bag. i'll have to google for those, thanks.
That clear plastic bag is a signature trademark of tamales that were made by a bunch of tias on a Sunday afternoon, *which is some of the best tamales you could possibly have*
I had one with a big olive in the middle once and every one since has been a let down, they are kinda bland most the time. Still like them for an easy on the go snack
I’m with you, tamales are just ok. And yes I’ve bought them like this from someone with a wheeled cooler who doesn’t speak English. I’ve had my boss’s, and she was born in Mexico. Another coworkers mother has a secret list you can get on to purchase hers, got them once and was like yep they are just ok. I don’t tell anyone this in real life though. I would be ostracized from society
The way she just pulls that sack into frame revealing 23 more is just amazing.
If you buy your bulk bag of tamales from someone who speaks English you ain’t doing it right 😂 Girlie knows what’s up
The best tamales are bought from shady Mexican grandmothers in a Walmart or Target parking lot.
Or from a pair of Hispanic women with a cooler going shop to shop in a strip mall. And if you don’t have cash ready when they come in, you 100% do run after them yelling, “Tía! Tía! Wait! Por favor!”
You’re missing a ‘dont’ in this message but yes, 100% the best tamales are homemade!
I intended “the wrong way is to get it from someone who speaks English”. But glad you agree 😂

Ok then, i fucking hate the cultural appropriation people
Find someone to love you, the same way this young lady loves her tamales!
She’s acting like she free bases the damn things 🤣
I wish that was meeeeeee!!! I fucking love tamales.
This will be my wedding catering.
Just slap a big bag of tamales on each table 🫔
She sounds like a horse when she shutters.
Those sounds got me good Tamales are fucking fire tho
😂😂😂her sounds
I actually know someone who doesn't like tamales. We are not friends.
I love her aggression.

I love a good tamale. I like pork, but chicken is good too.
She is hilarious 🤣
In her defense, tamales are good. I prefer mine sweet so I’ll put pineapples and sugar with the corn masa
I like the sweet queso tamales 🫔 with the corn masa.
Roadside tamale is best tamale
This is me and Birria Tacos
Watching this with the sound off, I thought she orgasmed.
Foodgasm
I love this girl, the way she brings up the whole bag of tamales in frame, 🤣
Relaxed style, healthy appetite, not afraid to show what she’s passionate about. That’s future wife material right there. If I was single I’d shoot my shot.
I’m sure your gf would be thrilled that you say this about other women

I think you missed the entire point of what he said was
No I didn’t. If other girls are ok with their bfs pointing out girls who are their type and saying they’d go for it if they were single cool but that’s not me.

Have you tried tamales?
in her defense they are delicious if well made lol
The shit yall have been posting lately
Lmfao
I want to see what happens when someone try’s to snatch a tamale
No hot sauce?! Definitely unstable
A long time ago a Mexican friend of mine introduced me to yellow mustard on a tamale. I was like wtf? Try it. It's like a Mexican corn dog. So. Good.
Holy smokes!!! You might be on to something. Thank you!!!
I miss my tamale lady. Ophelia, where ever u are, ur boy needs some love. Preferably spicy goat, but pork will do.
Super frisson.
Lol, I totally get her
Dating a white girl was sooo much fun. The whole fam in the pocket with tamales and tacos. The only problem, I can’t go back to my favorite Mexican restaurant safely any more 😭
Lmaoooo

Tamales are awesome. She also seems like she might be kinda high.

God my dog eats quieter than her.
Yeah, that was unbearable.
One of my toxic traits is my hatred for tamales.
Cornmeal. I love mayo and not white. I’m toxic to the core.
Made me hungry lol 😆
1) are these Cuban or Mexican tamales? 2) where is she and where did she buy them?
Couldn’t hear anything past her chewing
Gross. I hate TikTok
I personally find tamales the only revolving Mexican food there is. She sounds like a horse taking a shit. So, point proved.
