I wasn’t even planning on showing anything here because my plans were to heat up some frozen tamales for dinner tonight. Yeah, 🙄 woo hoo! Well, the bizarre coincidence of what happened tonight, I just had to share. I’m at Mom’s for the weekend and she didn’t have any salsa for the frozen tamales I was gonna microwave for us. Luckily, she ain’t very picky when it comes to some of the crap I make. So about 5:00 I get in my truck and go to the local Market Basket to buy some salsa…..for our frozen tamales from Walmart.
Well, I get to the end of her street and some guys got his pickup parked in the parking lot of a closed down gas station. He’s got a big banner on the side of his truck that says…Fresh Tamales. Really? I turn on past him to go to the store, the whole time thinking, Damn, should I stop and get some? I’m going back and forth…well hell, I’ve already got tamales at home, should I buy his or just settle for what’s in the freezer? I continue on to the store and get my salsa.
Stay with me, this is where the real drama comes into play…
I’m coming back from the store, still debating on what to do. What the hell I said, let’s give it a shot. I actually decided to try it at the last second before passing him up. I pull in the parking lot and and he comes up to greet me, his wife is sitting nearby. He was a very nice Mexican gentleman and we chit chat for a bit before getting down to business. 
I asked him how much were the tamales and what kind did he have? He had the usual chicken, beef and pork. They were $15. a dozen or $7.50 for a half dozen. Had em in a styrofoam cooler in the back of his truck. I’ve bought homemade tamales before from ladies who went door to door at my office building. Those tamales were always the best, even better than most Mexican restaurants.
Anywho, I buy a dozen pork tamales and he gives me some containers of his red and green salsa verde to go with it. They were already still hot and fresh from being in the cooler. About an hour or so later I sit down to eat, 2 containers of his green salsa verde and 2 of his red on my TV tray in the living room. I never sit at a table to eat, always a TV tray. More classy that way. I start eating one of the tamales and…..holy Jesus, come to me! I was eating the best fricking tamale I’ve ever had in my life! And the salsa verde supplied with it was also the best I’ve ever had. I love Mexican food and there’s many killer places in Houston, including the ladies selling their homemade tamales door to door. This guy and his wife had em beat. The tamales were just full of real pork and the mesa dough covering was just awesome. Anyway, I know these pictures are crappy and don’t do the tamales justice, but after tasting them I just had to post. I’m including his business card for 58limited He travels the area and sets up in different locations. You can call and he’ll let you know where he’ll be on any given day.
