El Tamalero

Holy Hell!!!
I was born and raised in El Paso Tx and though I may be the whitest Mexican you’ll ever meet, I know and love Mexican Food
El Tamalero is THE quintessential «hole-​in-​the-​wall» mexican food dive. I pulled over because their sign/​menu boasts Gorditas –a masa cake, stuffed with meat cheese, etc– which are all too rare here in Denver. I took 6, and of course 6 tamales. After shelling out the $ 13 I sped home and ripped into my spoils. DAMN! So good, it smacked of home and tasted like memories. The gorditas were everything i hoped for, just good old fashioned Mexican comfort, but the tamales (as you might guess) were amazing. Well-​stuffed, moist, and beautifully spiced.
There was very little english spoken and if the health department finds this place, it might not be around very long, but for sure get to this place, buy as many tamales as they have on hand and stock your freezer
