"Not far from the Bronx’s Hunts Point market, owner Israel Veliz has been making savory and sweet tamales using his mother’s recipe since 2016. The secret: a little bit of baking soda in the masa. They cost around $4 each and come filled with chicken, pork, black bean, and strawberry. Or, try them “loaded” with cheese, lettuce, and pico de gallo on top." - Luke Fortney
