Tamales Doña Emi

The 36 Best Restaurants in Mexico City, From the Splurge-Worthy to Streetside Tamale Stands | Condé Nast Traveler

"The best tamales in Mexico City sell out quickly from this demure storefront on a quiet street in the Roma neighborhood. While tamales are a common street food, this walk-up shop (with sidewalk tables for those who want to eat on-site) turns the everyday breakfast food into the extraordinary. While there is no way to go wrong—they are all great—it’s worth trying some of the specials: like pork loin with olives or beans with cheese and grasshoppers. This is a family-run operation, and they are friendly and welcoming, even as they move efficiently through the line." - Naomi Tomky, Scarlett Lindeman
