"To be clear, this decades-old Mexicantown establishment is famous among longtime Southwest Detroiters for its breakfasts and throwback atmosphere. But it’s the tamales that put this old-school joint on the map. During the holiday season, this third-generation spot assembles thousands of tamales each week, and are available with in flavors such as beans and jalapeños, chicken (spicy or plain), cheese and jalapeños, and sweet. Call ahead for big orders, or include one — or three — along with your plate of nopalitos and scrambled eggs." - Serena Maria Daniels
