Message: | "The tamales are uniformly terrible." Do you mean the Salvadoran tamales or tamales de elote. I dislike Salvadoran style tamales (the banana leaf wrapped with olives, chicken, etc.) so I don't order them, but I think Atlcatl makes a mean tamale de elote (available steamed or deep fried). Sweet, fresh and dense...terrific with plenty of cream and their great refried black beans. Have you ever had the pupusas at Los Churros on Century in Inglewood? I think they're better than Atlcatl's (which are quite good). |
