The Best Tamales in Phoenix, 2021 - Eater Phoenix

"Barrio Queen is debuting its seasonal menu showcasing its tamales, which are legendary (and subject to copy-cat iterations). But this green sauce might be hard to recreate for even the most skilled cook — made with a special blend of tomatillos, garlic, paprika, onions, and poblano peppers. Tamales here are available either frozen or cooked with a selection of red or green sauces. Pick your favorite tamale — pork, chicken, or vegetarian options. A dozen tamales costs $36, while a half-dozen is priced at $20. Order online or at participating stores — at least 24 hours are needed for all orders." - Rudri Patel
