You know each year we love on the almighty tamale and 2012 will certainly be no different. Please be sure to send us your favorites so we might taste and report on all of the very best tamales this year.
The first strike this tamale season is from Urban Taco who each year makes a delicious new tamale daily leading up to Christmas in what they call the Twelve Days of Tamales. We have the list of the dozen they have scheduled for this year and think you will agree it may very well be worth a daily visit.
This special menu of daily changing seasonal hand-made tamales is available December 13-24, 2012. Guests can order the daily selection during lunch or dinner as a tamale trio plate with black beans and roasted corn con crema for $9.75. In addition to enjoying the tamales at the restaurant, place an order for any variety of tamale to go with 24-hours’ notice, with a minimum order of one dozen for $24.
Visit either the McKinney Avenue or Mockingbird Station location in Dallas for your tamale fix.
