Dia De Los Tamales

On the Grid : Dia De Los Tamales

"Its hard to call what Dia puts out as street food. While they are corn husk wrapped, the fillings are anything but expected and super delicious. They are stuffed with unconventional, globally-flavored fillings such as roasted pepper and goat cheese, coconut curry chicken, and even chocolate peanut butter. These are chef-made tamales with farm sourced ingredients, not the mom-made ones (also super delicious and worth a try) found on many of the corners around here." - Faust

Dia de los Tamales has closed in Pilsen after six years - Eater Chicago

"Dia de los Tamales didn’t make it to the Day of the Dead this year as the popular tamale maker has closed both locations — the original in Pilsen and the one downtown at Block 37. Known for creative tamales — like a Chicago Italian beef variety — the shop lasted six years at 939 W. 18th Street." - Ashok Selvam
