“Teocalli Tamale in Crested Butte, CO seemed like a stretch when it was explained to me. I couldn't imagine how a tamale shop could survive at 9,000 + foot of elevation! I was wrong. The warm, inviting, cozy atmosphere (even at single digit temps outside) made me feel right at home as if I were walking into a local Texan Tamale shop. The offerings of Burritos and Tamales were a perfect assortment for just about anyone I could imagine. I had the Tamale Plate with one hot and one mild tamale with just about every option piled on top of a bed of cilantro rice and black beans. I could barely finish it all! We did not finish the Queso which had excellent flavor, but was very thick and difficult to dip without breaking the chip. 5 out of 5 I would return and will never visit CB without a Teocalli Tamale stop.“
