Lety's tamal Oaxaqueño is so moist and flavorful, you'll be hard-pressed not to order seconds. A-ma-zing.

The Tamal was a fluffy corn cake moist enough and a great match with the red and black mole. It blew my tastebuds.

The masa is the star here, made from heirloom corn. The mole negro is divine and deeply traditional.

A classic stop in Oaxaca for authentic tamales. The mole negro is rich, dark, and exactly what you expect from a gold standard.
