Well, if you happen to be anywhere in Southwest Houston, try:
https://tejanosalsa.com/t/tex-mex-specialties

They have a bunch of varieties that aren't on the website though, so I'd call before going. There are plenty of other options though if you're not in their part of town.

We usually pick up the handmade ones from Alamo on Berry st. Long line, but it moves fast.

Pete's Fine Meats does this. They're pretty solid. But it's pricey.

If you're up in the Humble/Kingwood area, check out Kingwood Taco Shop. I've had their breakfast tacos several times and decided to go there for lunch last week. They put out some fresh tamales when I went up to order, so I grabbed a couple and was blown away. They're not pre-made, that's for sure.

Just go to any Houston bar and wait to hear "TAMALES TAMALES TAMALES TAMALES." That syndicate makes some pretty good ones.

Is it in that little strip behind Sunny's? They have two different versions of the address on their website, one of which points to Norte Main.

Yep. He was the owner of Texas Shrimp Shack that failed on Richmond next to Revelry. He had to start back from square one with this little joint, but his food is amazing. This is were we get our Tamales, and Breakfast tacos when we can.

interesting. Didn't know he came from Shrimp Shack.

This place is great but they don't handle crowds that well. They cook everything to order, which is great, but it's not super quick.

You sure somebody at work's abuela or tia isn't selling tamales on the side? That's the best, right there.

I can't help wondering how many of them are working for the big tamale syndicate now.
