As a follow up to my recent Tamale post here’s a quick review of La Guera Tamalera’s take-out tamales from Locali.
I ordered the Blue Corn Jalapeño & Cheese and organic free range Chicken tamales. They’re heated upon ordering at Locali and boxed for take-out.
You can see that although they’re made without lard, corn oil, gluten or transfat the heating/boxing causes them to sweat.
They’re tube-shaped, as opposed to the more common rectangular form.
They were a bit dry and, probably because I’m used to the unhealthy version, not as flavorful as I hoped.
I have no doubt that they’d be phenomenal fresh from the kitchen, but pre-made, and reheated left a lot to be desired.
