11 of Eastern Washington’s Best Restaurants - Eater Seattle
"Tucked away beneath the north slopes of the Union Gap is a simple, whitewashed cinderblock building that contains one of Central Washington’s greatest culinary treasures. Los Hernández Tamales has perfected the tamale since Felipe Fernandez opened the doors in 1990, picking up a James Beard America’s Classic award in 2018 for honoring this traditional Mesoamerican food. The menu is utterly spare, so you can always expect corn tamales filled with pork or chicken with salsa alongside rice and beans or salad; if you visit during asparagus season in the spring, you’ll also find sensational asparagus and pepper jack cheese tamales." - Teo Bicchieri
