You will be hard pressed to find a truly good tamale in a restraunt (even the real authentic ones). The good ones are made by hand in some ol' meskins house and are made of pork (hogs head to be a little more precise).

The ones you find all over houston in the gas stations in a crock pot sellin 3 for a dollar are not bad though. A dozen of these and two tall boy budweisers are the best colonic evarhhh!!!!
