tamales

I haven't had a chance to look thru the thread but I just left. tommy tamale in Grapevine I got half a dozen hatch chili chicken for lunch and half a dozen beef and half a dozen pork for dinner that are frozen. I'm headed back to the office to eat the hot ones now hopefully they are good
$12 a dozen or seven dollars a half-dozen

I've only been to the new Luna's a couple of times but I would grab breakfast tacos from them when they were near the West End and I worked downtown. Never tried anything else besides those tacos and the tamales.

Ahh... Nuevo Leon... It's been a while since I've been there, I'll have to hit them up Saturday morning for some barbacoa



Yup although it doesn't look like it after they remodeled that shopping center. As far as I know, that's the only place Rick Modena hits up in the area and as far as I know, drives that far from home. But it's worth the drive and I'm glad I'm fairly close to it (probably a 20 minute drive for me).

I don;t go to Irving for anything else, except to visit my aunt and NL. Its about 40 minutes from me up here in northern Collin county, but well worth the trip, no traffic on Sunday mornings. Its in my top five for barbacoa.

1) Nuevo Leon
2) Cuquitas (weekends only)
3) Michiocana (Cabrito barbacoa)
4) Southside Barbocoa (Corpus Christi)
5)Taqueria Chapala Jalisco (San Antonio)

We are related to them on my dads side of the family. My grandmother was a Luna and most of my uncles/aunts and dad have Luna as their middle name. They have always had good grub. I have not been to the new location, especially after discovering Nuevo Leon in Irving. That place has the best barbacoa in the area!

Dam. That place has been there for years. Moms would get menudo from there as well. What other mexican places do you visit in Irving.

Leah brought some home from a craft fair recently. Cooked and packaged / frozen. They were pretty good but apparently were way cheaper at the craft fair than from their website. She thinks she paid like $25 for 3 packs of 5. On their website they are $49.50 for the same 15. At $25 they were an ok buy, but no way I would pay $50 for them.

That said, if you're the cowskin rug type, the site is http://mothershuckerstamales.com/

If yall are ever eating at Reata in Fort Worth or Alpine, give their tenderloin tamale appetizer a try, it is pretty tasty

Luna's Tortillias is pretty damn good. But be prepared to go home empty handed if you don't pre-order them like I did last Thanksgiving. Wound up going to Dallas Tortilla and Tamale Factory and although the line was out the door, I came home with some pretty good tamales.
