Tamale Lady - Chicago

BE CAREFUL! to not eat all the meat in one bite.Kid-friendliness: have them.

Best tamales ive had in so long! Highly recommend her. Cash only but don't worry there are 2 chase atms next to her. Run and get some also don't forget to get your arroz con leche and

Love the chicken verde tamales!! Need to get there earlier in the day if you want the meat options, she sells out.

Our friend used to bring us tamales from the tamale lady and today I finally went over myself. She is literally on the corner of the street under some tents/umbrellas (it was raining today). I went around 8:20am on a Friday. There was somewhat ample street parking around. She accepts cash, there is a chase bank right next to her. The regular(red and green) tamales are $2 each. They also have sweet ones!! Pineapple and strawberry. There are some special ones she has only on weekends, those are $5 each. They were super nice! They speak English and Spanish. I'll be back.

Best tamales hands down in Chicago.Vegetarian options: Sweet tamales, Jalapeno and cheese tamales and Bean tamales also delicious
