I'm almost 38 and had tamales for the first time ever last week, from a very sweet lady in a parking lot! I'm an incredibly picky eater and I loved them, I hope she comes back soon
I’ve been given tamales when visiting my only friend who lives in towns house. Joel her husband was not letting me leave without having some food. I met her when Pokémon GO was new. She’s like 80 but a good person. We talk life. She’s so busy with family though I don’t get to see her much.
I was a chef in Texas about 40 years ago. Most people working in my kitchen were either of Mexican or Guatemalan background or immigrants from Mexico or Guatemala, and pretty much all of them went to church, and all those churches had tamale fund raising sales. I put on 30 lbs in a year. Green chili or colorado please. Yes, I'll take 3 dozen. Stop asking, just bring me 3 dozen and I'll pay you.
My daughter's friend is Guatamalan, and they were selling tamales. We bought like 4 or 5 dozen. The friend told my daughter "your family is going to be eating tamales for months," and my daughter told her, "no, my DAD is going to be eating tamales for a few days." Love me some tamales!
No, he was disturbing costumers. I guess cosplay requires all sorts of materials and it would seem that some of them are found at Home Depot. Dunno why they didn't like the Tamale guy though.
Yeah, that's an issue. Sounds like they wanted a self-funded law enforcement which is running a government like a business. Common flaw, we should be looking at the societal benefit as the offset.
I got a face for radio, but I am sometimes funny enough to get a gal to the point she'll let me cook for her.
Once she wakes up to the smell of scratch made pancakes with cane or maple syrup, eggs made to order, with side choices such as bacon, yogurt, oatmeal, well... at that point you might could look like Igor.
The town I work in has an ordinance requiring licensing for street food vendors (taco trucks are all over) and we lost our best tamale lady because of it. We miss you Diana ❤️
They need a license, they need a zone or location permit, one that can be bought out, or kept by way of money or straight up bribery. It's been pushed so that many businesses can force out the Street vendor community. Watch Street Food USA to hear more details on it, as much as the Netflix Censorship allowed into the Docuseries anyways :(
wobblecopterrrr
seriously, I'll need at least a dozen!
ThinkThisOut
This is one of those situations that’s made up to cause an emotional reaction. No one kicks out the food trucks. Businesses love the free value add.

This post is obviously bullshit. Everyone knows van tamales go by the dozen. And they're worth every penny.

Don't call it "disturbing customers" after you buy a whole bag, you fucking narc.

When I was in Boy Scouts as a kid (in East LA) we did Menudo breakfast fund raisers. Very popular.
mmfrancis
Better if it’s a older Mexican grandmother type
HollerinAtTheVoid
My solution is slightly different:
“Don’t worry, I’ll take care of it sir”
To tamale vendor: “Hi, I want to buy all of your tamales”

Damn. I want some tamales.

For real, 3 bags maybe. And a Jarritos is he's got them.

Dude still has to work. Don't want to go full food coma on lunch break.

Fair, I meant to take home though lol

Disturbing customers? Pch, what a snowflake. I’ll have a tamale as well

costumers*
RipThemUpRatchet
Haaaah I didn’t catch that the first time
MrsSusanStoHelit
It's not enough to just order from the tamale guy. We need to cut out the first mans tongue.

lady used to come by with banana leaf wrapped shredded pork tamales at my last job. god i miss those tamales...
RogCkn101
Mmmm Christmas time in Phoenix is the best time of year

Three tamales? Seems sus. Everybody knows you always buy even numbers of red and green.
NVGoddesscottage
I’ll take ten!

2carnitas and a cheese tamales please
datphone777365
2 salsa roja pork and 2 cheese and jalapeño. Ill be back in an hour.
MaharynArts
Maybe those costumers should work from home or rent a business space instead of using a parking lot to make those costumes.
Exyr
Anyone else getting shorted on their tamales? Like getting mostly maza and less filling?
usernametakenisthestoryofmylife
Best damn tamales you'll ever have.
HopelessNecr0mantic
Only if his grandma made it. Abuela tamales are the superior version.
Thisisallyourfault
Unfortunately the one time I did this they weren't the best tamales. Still damn good though. ID DO IT AGAIN!
battery1979
Probably got Mamacita Tamales and not Abuela Tamales.
somnif
We actually had a law pass out here recently everyone now calls the "Tamale law", food safety standards for informal vendors.
datphone777365
Safe way to go about it is if ya see what appear to be regular buyers then its likely fine.
CritterMazes
Those things sir in that pot at 4000° tho
Malak224
I didn’t realize tamales were made in steel crucibles.
johnathanrossshoulddie
Tamales are damascus corn, forged by foodsmiths
TheForgewright
Good idea as long as they're reasonable.
somnif
Only tricky part is it adds a license requirement to be above board. Which isn't all that easy for some folks.
TheForgewright
Yeah, that's an issue. Sounds like they wanted a self-funded law enforcement which is running a government like a business. Common flaw, we should be looking at the societal benefit as the offset.

See, this is an appropriate amount of tamales.
keyblader1985
That is pure love

I wish a girl would love me like this girl loves her tamales

Get a woman to make noises like that and she'll be yours forever
ShearingBlizzard
Do you love yourself that much or are you looking for someone to love you so much that you forget you hate yourself?

Learn how to make tamales. Women love a guy that cooks well

Funny and can cook sounds good! Looks fade, but home made pancakes and tamales never will

We have a Tamale Law out here in AZ too. On the one hand, it DOES make the sales legal now.... but they need a license, which is annoying.

This new law only requires you to disclose your kitchen's address, take a food safety class, and label your stuff with name and dates
somnif
It's specifically built on an older "cottage food" law that covered stuff made at home for bake sales and whatnot, but now allows meat too.
ElChupaNuggra
If that's the case it's amazing and could bring a whole new lifeblood to Street Food again and I love it.
