About once a week, Felix shows up at my local pub to sell his wife's homemade tamales. The jalapeño and cheese are so good that I haven't even tried the others yet. I love that she uses the spicy jalapeño instead of the milder poblano chiles because the spice kicks the tamale to a new level, plus the masa (corn dough) is so well seasoned. The cheese was a somewhat chewy yellow version, but it worked great with the chiles. The bartender said that these were the best tamales in Desert Hot Springs, and I would say that the chile and cheese ones were the best I've ever had.
