I love tamales. Sometimes at Mexican restaurants I just order a side tamale with guacamole and salsa. So good! Recently a friend shared with me that there is a little hole in the wall Mexican joint in Issaquah that makes its own tamales. But only on Saturdays. So of course, Saturday we went. I must say, they were delicious and only $1.79 each! Whoo hoo!
Check them out if you're in the area. Taqueria La Venadita. Lucky for me Saturday happens once every week!
What did you eat this weekend?

....oatmeal, broccoli, chicken, steak, bananas, eggs and bacon at Shari's, more chicken...samo-samo. sigh.................nothing to spice up your culinary life with that is for sure!
ReplyDeleteDo you guys have Trader Joe's out there yet? They have awesome frozen tamales - just pop em in the microwave for 5 min, and they are done. Easy work lunch!
ReplyDeleteI still don't know what a Tamale is. This weekend I made pancakes. MMMM pancakes.
ReplyDeleteThose look so good!I think the first time I tried tamales was in Mexico - in Patzcuaro - they were amazing..we had them for breakfast!
ReplyDeleteUhm... Excuse me, aren't we missing something with the Tamales? Margarita's!

ReplyDeleteTamales are great, I really like the chicken ones with tomatillo sauce.
ReplyDeleteUm, this weekend I cooked grilled filet steak with cajun spice, home made spinach orzo pasta with grilled red peppers (from jar).
It was a rainy weekend in Cancun, and Jorge and I had our mini-honeymoon by staying in. We ordered pizza, breadsticks and sushi :)
ReplyDeleteI live in Mexico and still don't like tamales :(
What! Why have I never been there? Westin LOVES tamales. We hiked all of Saturday so I survived on trail mix:)
ReplyDeleteI need to try some, I don't think I ever had. I made a yummy grilled chicken salad last night with stuff from the garden. It was perfect for a hot night!
ReplyDeletehaha the little camera is not mine :( but you're right soooo cute at his age :)
ReplyDeleteDiana- That's okay, I eat enough for the both of us.
ReplyDeleteHanna- How long did you live here? Of course we have a TJ's! Their tamales are good, but these were fresh.
Mike- WHAT? You need to make it your mission to find out.
Krystal- Genius! I hadn't thought of tamales for breakfast!
M.A- I know, no margaritas. I don't think that places has a liquor license. I hope your liquid diet consists of wine ;)
