Editor’s picks from published local guides
From the door this reads as an ordinary neighborhood convenience store, with refrigerated soda along the walls and a couple of aisles of chips and pantry goods. The action is at the counter, where the Express-News reports Ruben's has sold tamales to East Side families since 1952. Order the pork, stubby and chubby with a generous meaty filling and a tender, bouncy masa, and add beans if the cooler has room. Come the holidays the line snakes around the building and into the parking lot, so go early.
