Good Tamales in Santa Fe?

Hi, we%26#39;re visiting Santa Fe next month and love love tamales. I%26#39;m sure there is a favorite place for some of you. Any ideas for me? Thanks!

Almost any New Mexican restaurant has Tamales; however you are missing the true ';taste of New Mexico'; if you don%26#39;t try enchiladas, burritos and other native New Mexican cuisine. One place in Santa Fe I would recommend is La Chosa. For a great New Mexican breakfast you can%26#39;t do much better than Tecolate. Happy eating!

Good tamales at Tomasita%26#39;s, Maria%26#39;s, Tia Sophia%26#39;s. Also Posa%26#39;s has a couple of small restaurants on the southside of town.

deadendangel,

For the best tamales you%26#39;re likely to have while in our general area, you%26#39;ll need to go to Chimayo and eat at Leona%26#39;s. Only open for lunch though.

They are about the best I%26#39;ve ever had anywhere.

Be forewarned though, they are located next door to the Santuario de Chimayo, America%26#39;s version of Lourdes and if your trip is during Easter weekend, don%26#39;t bother.

About 25,000 devotees walk to the church as a pilgrimage every Easter week from as far away as ABQ.

The Santuario is one of the most visited sites in our state and well worth the short drive from Santa Fe. Just not that weekend.

Hey Tim, thanks for the info on Leona%26#39;s, we have not tried the tamales there. Looks like a road trip is in order. Which are your favorites? And chile...red or green or Christmas?

Thanks again.

I second Tia Sophias. La Choza near downtown also has a really good Tamale plate for under ten bucks.

I love La Choza, one of my fav SF restaurants, a bit off the tourist circuit.

But Leona%26#39;s in Chimayo wins for tamales....take a few bags home!
