Tamales for Christmas, around Albany
Does anyone know where I can get home made tamales (to go) in the Albany east (to MA) region? I know, I'm asking for a lot, perhaps the impossible. Am also posting on the New England board.
Thanks in advance, and Feliz Navidad.
We used to drive to Valatie, off of I-90 Exit 12 right before the tolls onto the Berkshire Spur, to buy tamales at a little storefront on its main strip. Very good tamales. It was a Hispanic food store, in the back of which they had a very small kitchen. If I remember correctly, they serve a small selection of meals daily and tamales on Sundays, but I imagine you could call ahead to special order.
I unfortunately cannot remember the name of the place, and can't find it online. I wrote about it once on a tristate thread here, but I can't find it now. Perhaps someone else knows the place I'm referring to?
The last time I went was maybe three years ago.
