The BEST Tamales in Fresno!

Spoiler Alert: The best tamales are probably the tamales your Abuela made at this time every year when you were a kid – so let’s say these all are second to those!

What is it about Tamales and Christmas? Google would suggest that it goes way back to pre Columbian imes, indigenous people and the belief that the gods made humans from corn. That all may be true but for us, there’s something more nostalgic going on.

Either way, if your Abuela isn’t making tamales for you this year we’ve got some really great tamale places and a tamale poll so you can submit your own favorite place.
