    An Albuquerque tamale institution since 1929, reviewed by Gil's Thrilling Blog. The counter-service kitchen on 2nd Street SW is known for red-chile pork tamales, chicharrones, and carne adovada by the pound, plus breakfast burritos smothered in chile. A no-frills spot open seven days that generations of families have ordered holiday tamales from.
