Editor’s picks from published local guides
A Boyle Heights tamal institution where the line moves slowly once word gets out. The Infatuation's advice is to skip the Cesar Chavez flagship and come to this smaller original on East First Street instead, where the crowds thin out and the tamales are the same. Order the chili verde, which the guide calls the essential order here, and finish with the elote tamal if you want the sweeter end of the case.
