I think you misspelled “fiend”.
I didn’t even know Pancho’s was still around. The last time I went to one it was in Beaumont on the way to Delta Downs in about '86. We had a buddy in from NY who wanted to gorge on tacos. He did. I remember him putting that little flag to great use. I don’t recall much else about it.
Now tamales on the other hand are one of my favorite subjects.
It’s way past time we had another tamale crawl. The last time, we hit Alamo, Gerardo’s, and Dona Tere.
My favorite were the Alamo “hand rolled”, but Gerardo’s are great also and they have the best barbacoa and hot sauces.
I don’t really care for the style of Dona Tere as I find them too masa heavy, but they also have some different styles like Oaxacan, (I think!).
Anyway, it’s a great way to put on a couple of pounds.
Jaymes, I know you’ll be hitting some up somewhere. Let me know if you want to coordinate.
Comamos!
