Los Dos Molinos

The Best Holiday Tamales in Phoenix | Eater Phoenix

"Los Dos Molinos in Mesa is known for its New Mexican-style cuisine, and the tamales are no exception — they pack serious heat. Made with New Mexico chiles, varieties include red carne adovada (New Mexican-style pork), red chile beef, green chile chicken, green chile corn, red chile machaca, and red chile beef with blue corn. Smothered with chile and cheese, tamales are $6.50 a la carte or $40 for a frozen dozen, which can be ordered in advance. For serious tamale fans, three dozen homemade tamales are $100, each dozen paired with a pint of Hatch chile sauce." - McConnell Quinn
