Los Hernández Tamales

4 Best Day Trips from Seattle | Condé Nast Traveler

"The modest white cinderblock building has the word "tamales" on every window and above the door, and inside that's what they serve at the counter. Felipe Hernandez and his family have mastered all manner of tamale, but the specialty of the house is the summertime asparagus and pepperjack. The cheese gives a snap to the crisp vegetable flavor of the asparagus. For a long time it was mostly locals popping in for take-home orders, but since the restaurant won a James Beard America's Classic award in 2018, a steady flow of roadtrippers has found its way to the door." - Jenna Scatena, Allison Williams
