La Casita de los Guisos
While wandering around the festival to celebrate Mexican Independence Day (Sept. 16), I tasted the best tamal I have ever had in my life. The woman directed me to her full-time business, which is a tiny little place called "Casita de los Guisos," on Avenida 20 East side of the street, between 4th and 6th streets. Take a look of the place on a picture by Dutchie on message 58 of this thread.
The owners, Delia and Ramon, are from Veracruz and in addition to the more traditional chicken and red chile tamal, they make a garlic and chipotle version that they say is Veracruz-style. I just brought one to James and he agrees--they are out of this world. They also make fresh tortillas daily, and are extremely friendly people.
Sra. Delia does have tamales every day now, along with a daily changing menu of delicious eats.
Their hours, which, like many restaurant hours in Mexico, are a "suggestion."
Monday thru Friday: 7 am to 4 pm
Saturday: Closed
Sunday: 7 am to about 1 pm
Edited by Jesus to add all possible info on the first post of the thread, as some newbies are a bit "disoriented" by all our chit chat about the local life goes and abouts.
