Misogynistic, sexist and horrible food. Bad combination, and diarrhea too!

My wife and I were at the local Farmers Market walk around when she spotted Shorty's. She knows that I love Tamales and she said that they were really good so I needed to try them. When we walked up, he told us what he had available and I was thrown back when he said 'Boudin'. I'm from the South! We love Boudin! But never have I heard of a Boudin Tamale! Yep! I'm gonna tear that up! When we got home, it was on. We sat back with Jalapeño and Cheese and Boudin Tamales. Take it from a person who lived in South Texas most of his life and has had Tamales straight from La Cocina de Abuela... These are GOOD!

Very good tamales and their salsa is perfect. Convenient, and always good. Chicken or pork, both excel.

You have previously posted that your tamales are gluten free. They are not! I got so sick from eating them. To make sure it was that, I tried a second time. I was glutened again. It truly sucks because your tamales are delicious. However, do not advertise a safe product that is not.

Vendor was very nice and accommodating. Liked that he came to our vehicle, took our order and delivered it promptly.However...Tamales were the smallest I've ever seen. I grew up in Arkansas AND New Mexico. I KNOW how big tamales are supposed to be. These was bordering on ridiculous. Flavor was ok, not great, but the actual size of them (for the price) made the purchase hard to justify repeating.

Just happened to come by these at a gas station while traveling. Was going to eat just 1 or 2 but ended up eating 6. Some of the best tamales I've ever had.

I grew up eating these tamales but moved away in 1974. Just moved back to Arkansas and was reacquainted with them this week; felt like I have gone to heaven. If you love a good tamale, with the right ratio of masa to meat, this is it.

Best tamales I have had outside of a Mexican family's house. Prices are reasonable, masa to pork ratio is ideal, and just the right heat to be perfect. If you like tamales then this should be your go to place.

Affordable and always taste great! Sauce makes them even better.
