"La Purísima Bakery is a Phoenix favorite for tamales, masa, and a wide array of Mexican baked goods. Tamale options include red chile pork, green chile pork, roasted chile rajas (pepper strips) with cheese, and a sweet variety with raisins and coconut. Their tamales often sell out early — especially the red chile — so it’s best to arrive before mid-morning. They also offer prepared masa with a hint of sweetness that takes homemade tamales to the next level." - McConnell Quinn
