Best Gourmet Tamales

Hot Damn Tamales!

When Angele Cleopatra Stavron gave up playing bass in punk bands to go into the tamale business, some snickered as if to say, "You? Start your own company?" They're not laughing now, they're smacking their lips and belching in satisfied torpor. Angele's masa marvels are made with quality ingredients and are available in such non-traditional flavors as smoked chicken poblano, (vegan) spring vegetable, and wild mushroom with Texas goat cheese. We'll miss her when she relocates to Fort Worth later this year, but her hot tamales will still be available for delivery by ordering online.
