Tamale vendor - 96th/Broadway

This morning, while on a walk at about 10 am, I spied from the corner of my eye a tamale vendor on the southeast corner of 96th and Broadway. I picked up 2 chicken and salsa verde tamales, and were they ever good. She also had some chicken with mole tamales which I thought I would try another time.

I asked the vendor what time she normally gets there and she said 7 am. I don't know how long she stays, but I think she was almost sold out by 10.

This is across the street from where the Sobres Ruedas taco truck usually is in the evening (and all day on weekend). But, now I know I can get my authentic Mexican fix at that intersection both mornings and evenings on weekdays.

Anyone know anything more about her hours?

    Muah!! Thank you both for these tips. I'll be checking this corner from now on and will report back about hours if I find out...

      There is another tamale vendor on B'way between 93/94 on the west side of the street by the subway. She's there 6 days a week- has been for years.
