La Casa Del Tamal · West Valley City
The tamales began as a family project made at home and delivered around the valley. At the West Valley City restaurant, order the verdes de pollo with green chile chicken or the rajas con queso. The family still prepares the tamales with a dedicated crew as the business expands. Handmade masa, savory fillings and carefully wrapped husks remain central to the menu, which also includes birria tacos.
Victor's Restaurant · Glendale
Tamales are the reason this restaurant exists beside the original Victor's Tires. Elvia Galindo first brought homemade tamales to the tire shop to give waiting customers something to eat, and demand turned the idea into a restaurant. Order the tamales at the 700 West location. The family recipe began as Elvia's own, and the dish remained the restaurant's draw when the dining room grew beyond its first few tables.
