Evelia's Tamales

Mexican restaurant · East Elmhurst

"For two decades, Evelia Coyotzi has sold tamales on Roosevelt Avenue in Queens. She opened a storefront in East Elmhurst last year with menudo, barbacoa, and more. Tamales are still the star. They cost $1.50 each and come with a range of fillings, like pork, cheese, pineapple, and raisin. Oaxaqueños, wrapped in banana leaves, are sold with chicharron and bone-in pork rib for $3." - Luke Fortney
