How locals rank it
In Albuquerque
From the local food press
Editor’s picks from published local guides
Four decades on Gibson Boulevard, and the Albuquerque Journal says the recipes have stayed where they were. Both of the paper's tamale guides list this one, the second noting fresh ingredients and traditional time-honored preparations, the first calling it a local favorite for tamales served in unpretentious quarters. Tamales are sold by the piece, the half dozen and the dozen, and the kitchen runs Tuesday through Saturday. Order a dozen for the freezer and a plate to eat while you wait.
