Nice Tamale Lady

I didn’t actually see her there but I did see a lady there. The tamales were good. Moist. And she was friendly.
Cheap too. About $ 1 or so I don’t remember the prices.

Maybe the best tamales I have ever had! I always go for the spicy chicken and pork but based on the reviews here will try the queso next time. And she is such a lovely person. HIGHLY recommended!

So nice. But she recently jacked the prices from $ 1 to $ 1.25 per tamale. I know, right?!

I was walking around the area looking for something new to try and I decided to try to tamale lady. These tamales are delicious. There are chicken, pork or cheese. I got two of each (total $ 6) and it was too much food for me but yes, I ate them all because they were so good. My favorite was the cheese, which were spicy but so good. I smothered mine with hot sauce that I bought at a nearby supermarket. The tamale lady herself if very friendly and sweet. I’d recommend these tamales for a snack or an entire dinner. Thank you tamale lady! I wish you the best! I will be back!

I walk by 145^th and Broadway maybe 4 – 6 times per week on my way to or from Fairway, or to and from the 1 train to the golf course. And all but a couple times, she has been there. If the sun is out, so is she selling the best $ 1 tamales.
I usually get the chicken or pork, and she says «Spicy?», «Yes please.»
Today I got two porks, and a cheese for the first time, and I am now hooked on the cheese. A nice piece if Queso Fresco with sauteed sweet onions, that was a surprise. Yummo!
This Tamale stand is by far the most reliable, as in always there when I walk by, always consistent, always hot, and never messy or dry.
With my wife as my witness, so many times, on our way to dinner, I’ve stopped by and grabbed a couple tamales. So many times I’ve said, «I’m not even hungry», but there I am chowing down on tamales. This place is, as they say up in Canadia, It’s «Good stuff».
Oh, one last thing, try to give her a tip. She won’t take it. She reluctantly takes it after a couple tries.

Best tamales EVER!!! They are now $ 1.25, but SO worth it. You can get chicken, pork, cheese, or mole (I think), spicy or non spicy.

If this is the lady on the SE side of Broadway and 145^th, I would like to add that her $ 1 tamales were awesome!
Talk about a quick treat!

There are a lot of tamale carts around, but she’s the best. The queso ones are spicy with nopales in them. The chicken ones are either green or mole (red). Very tasty. A yuppie, new-​arrival couple recently spent about 15 minutes ordering 4 dollars in food. The stupider they acted, the stupider she became. Smart lady. Oh, order in Spanish or your best rendition of. Afternoons and early evenings. Off Sundays.
