It didn't have raisins though. It had some herb ground into it, and some cheese. That market seems to be Oaxacan, though. Everything is all cultural or something there. I'll have to try a Salvadorian tamal and compare. Maybe that’s it. It didn’t have raisins though. It had some herb ground into it, and some cheese. That market seems to be Oaxacan, though.

When i was younger i had one of those and it had raisins and all kinds of weird shit that us, Mexicans, are not used to. I can believe alot of you dont eat meat, you are missing out lol I think johnk is talking about the salvadorian tamales, those are nasty, too soggy.

It's done in a banana leaf, not a corn husk. In fact, it's totally different from the regular ones. It has this soft texture that's almost like custard.

You know what would be an even better idea? If someone sold veggie tacos outside the laundromat, say around dinner time, say once or twice a week. No THAT would be a great idea!

My favorite tamales are from some guy in the corner or Lorena and 7th in east los angeles, he is only there in the morning (7.am Mon-Fri),but he has the BEST green chile Tamales I have ever tasted.

I wish I could find a good street vendor downtown L.A. Any tips? The best tamales I’ve ever had were purchased off the street in Tijuana. I wish I could find a good street vendor downtown L.A.
