Best Tamales in El Paso

Tamales at Christmas time are a tradition at my home, and while many families come together around the holiday to make them, we prefer to take the easy way out and buy them.

Fortunately, El Paso is a big tamal town and there are plenty of places that make tamales as good as any abuelita. Which of those places makes the best tamales, however, is a debate that will never be settled.

But after posing the question to our listeners and Facebook fans, and consulting the crowd-sourced site Yelp, I can at least point you in the direction of the top vote-getters. Now, as far as the red or green debate, well, that’s easy; a dozen of both, of course!
