Wednesday, March 24th, 2010 in Dining Out, Food I Ate With Meat, Non-Portland
I recently ventured back to “The Old Pueblo”, aka Tucson, Arizona.
These tamales from Lerua’s were waiting for us thanks to the father-in and mother-in-law.
A fine specimen of a tamale, if a bit on the drier side. These were red chili beef tamales. The paler version (on the right) were green chili (no meat).
With an ample layer of house made salsa, these tamales became really excellent.

My parents humped 20 Green chile tamales from larua’s across the pacific.
I didn’t believe they loved me until then.
okay… not really. Still, a gift greater than Stumptown, though i’m lucky enough to have both in my freezer here in China.
I’m thoroughly jealous you got a debauched weekend in the old pueblo, and then got to leave after.
