"In North Berkeley on San Pablo Avenue, Casa Latina sells long and skinny tamales in pork, chicken, or cheese. Plan on ordering a dozen of their sturdy tamales one week in advance for Nochebuena. Or, if eating them at Casa Latina under the gaze of a multitude of Frida Kahlo paintings, order them “al Vapor”-style, steamed and topped with salsa verde, queso, and crema, or “Abuela”-style, steamed, then fried and doused in mole." - Annelies Zijderveld, Dianne de Guzman, Paolo Bicchieri
