I ordered 3 of each type last week and those were delivered to my home. My partner was surprised, as I was away for work that Saturday and forgot to tell them about the tamales.
I read the other review about them before trying these myself. My partner did and had a similar experience.
I, on the other hand, did some research.
The seller mentioned being from Tabasco. I’ve been in the area and recall how tamales of the state are.
For reference, most of the tamales experienced in central Texas are either from the central states in Mexico, Oaxaca, or the Yucatán peninsula.
I had to check my tamal bible to review similar Tabascan recipes. The one that I found similar uses a masa that has a higher fat to corn mass ratio. The masa is more gelatinous and this texture might not be for everyone.
As a whole, the tamales were tasty, the masa had good flavour, the guisos (fillings) were enjoyable, and the salsa was bright and piquant. It reminded me the spicy salsa you have with tacos sudados in Mexico City.
These might not be for everyone but if you know the state differences, I found the tamales enjoyable. I hope they make some sweet ones.
