The Best Restaurants in Houston’s Garden Oaks and Oak Forest | Eater Houston

"This family-owned spot opened in 2021, focusing solely on corn husk-wrapped delicacies. Thanks to neighborhood loyalty, Tamale Joint has expanded its space with a larger dining room and an updated menu featuring tortas, enchiladas, empanadas, and breakfast staples. For a filling $10 meal, order the plato especial—three tamales served with salsa, rice, and beans. End with thick, piping-hot churros and chocolate dipping sauce, though the sweet corn tamales are indulgent enough to pass as dessert." - Brianna Griff
