I love tamales, my husband not so much. After eating here he said "they were great, the best tamales he has ever had"
Word of advice if you are going here get there when they open or better yet call ahead and place your order. They will hold them for you. First time we went there around 4pm they were sold out. Next time we got there around 11:40am, they open at 11:00, and a lot were already gone!
They come wrapped ether in corn husks or banana leaves.
Chipotle Beef Tamale with chips.
Black Bean and Cheese and a Veggie with Green Sauce.
They were Fantastic! Extremely moist and delicious.
Next stop: 3 Sister's Cafe in Indy. Another DDD gem. 3 Sister's Cafe
We sat out on the porch.
Sounds intriguing.
Fresh Berry Corn Cakes with Lemon Curd- Fantastic!
The lemon curd takes it to a whole different level.
Fish Tacos- fresh grilled fish with guacamole, chili mayo and their green chili sauce.
The fish was excellent in flavor and preparation. The chili mayo was very good.

Final stop of our trip Sky Line Chili
They were on Food Wars, they serve spaghetti with chili and other things on it, Its a Cincinnati thing.
The 5 Way- spaghetti with chili, beans, onions and cheese.
We had a very fun time, ate a lot and still didn't get to all the Food TV places. I am very glad my hubby surprised me with this trip!
