"Ringing in at a half-pound each, the vegetarian tamales at Frelard Tamales are massive and stuffed with everything from sliced jalapeños and cheese to spinach and corn. You can also add toppings that accentuate the fillings without getting in the way, like crema, limey guacamole, and tangy pickled carrots. And while you could order virtually any meatless masa-snuggled meal here and walk away pleased, you need the sweet potato mole. You’ll get a vegan tamal featuring fork-tender sweet potatoes and a nutty mole that’s rich while still letting the yams speak for themselves. They say “hey, I’m f*cking delicious,” by the way." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley
