Seasoned corn dough steamed in husks around savory fillings.

First bite: how to approach it
Peel back the corn husk or banana leaf—it is a wrapper, not part of the bite—and let the first rush of steam subside. Break through the warm masa into the filling so fluffy, moist corn dough and sauce or meat arrive together; leaf, fat, texture, and filling vary widely by region.
If temperature, spice or an unfamiliar ingredient is a concern, ask the restaurant and start with a small bite. CraveLoop does not verify restaurant recipes or allergen controls.

What to order with Mexican Tamales
Spoon roasted tomatillo salsa onto a savory tamal a little at a time, using its bright acidity to lift the rich masa without drowning the filling. Café de olla alongside brings cinnamon and piloncillo aromas that sit warmly with the steamed corn.
