Where to buy a dozen tamales for Christmas?

[K-Man]

It's too late to pre-order. Does anyone know where I can walk in and pick up a dozen good tamales?

Tahnsk!

Curra's are great.
Rosie's Tamale House
Nuevo Onda
Any good Austin Tex-Mex place. Just call first. Won't take them long to have a dozen ready.

O'Shucks still on 6th street?

Central Market's arent' bad.

curra's are awesome. i saw a oaxacan-style place called tamaleo on anderson (past enchiladas y mas and across from gassane tailor). a co-worker told me they were pretty good, but i haven't been.

I'll second the tamales from Central Mkt. they are pretty good. The pork ones are good and greasy too.

Oaxacan Tamaleo are good, but pricey - $24 for a dozen. I called Curra's they said you have to order at least two dozen, so that sucks. Looks like Central Market for me.

My mother in law makes awesome tamales and is selling them for $8/dozen. Message me here if you're interested, and I'll hook you up.

I go to SA to buy mine. Lots of people go to Delicious. I go to a place called Rudy's (on South Flores -- I think).

Bet damn tamales I ever had are from Del Rio's in south San Antonio. After checking out of our Riverwalk hotel this morning, we drove down there and picked up our phoned-in order...24 dozen frozen regular pork tamales @ $4.80/dozen.

Good thing we phoned the order in...they ran out of our "flavor" tamales by noon...ours were boxed up & ready to go.

We do that every year.
