All locations listed carry tamales made in commercial kitchens that are available to the general public year around and can be purchased by the dozen to go. Although tasty tamales can be found being sold in parking lots across the southwest and nowadays on Craigslist, we cannot guarantee that they are safe.

Note: My health inspector friend made me write this. She said they are concerned about the public's safety and want to insure that consumers receive a safe food product.
