Where to Find the Best Tamales in Houston | Eater Houston

"Parked at Northside brewery Astral Brewing, this food truck brings comforting and exciting street food straight from Oaxaca. Try its best-selling tlayudas, street tacos, flautas, and its deep-fried chicken tamales. A rarity in Houston but a common Oaxacan, the two tamales are steamed in their corn husks, then deep-fried and covered in sour cream, pico de gallo, and queso fresco for a decadent snack. If seeking tamales by the dozen, you’re in luck. The food truck, which also offers catering, sells chicken or rajas tamales — the latter a combination of tomatoes, onions, peppers, and cheese — by the dozen for $15. Call the truck to place your order ahead of time." - Brittany Britto Garley
