Best tamales I've ever had - Edit

Shanes Tamales is inside of a place with a big sign that says SubVegan Sandwiches. Also, the area that they're located in was unexpectedly cool. There's a fully vegan market right next door, as well as two more fully vegan restaurants as the other neighbors. Really great little spot.

The tamales were the best I've ever had. Its really hard to pick a favorite because they were all so good. The rice and beans are great as well. The food was ready quickly, with friendly service.

Excellent Tamales and Customer Service - Edit

Last night I went to the Urthly Vegan Market with the intention of buying supplies and making tacos for dinner. However my mind quickly reset my intentions for tamales at Shane's next door. This was my best decision of the day. I place my order for Chik'n Tamale and a Chik'n Tinga bowl and while this was prepared I grabbed a few items for tacos this weekend instead.

Shane is always so friendly and his food is amazing. I love his tamales and they are always moist and super fresh. I have been a fan of this food since he was exclusively a pop up, and I am not so happy to have him here.

My daughter ate the bowl and is now obsessed with picked onions. She was very happy to have this food ready for her after a long late night at work. My tame was super flavorful with a perfect balance of filling and masa. Many places with give you just a spec of filling in their tamales this is a generous portion and as I type this I think I may have to repeat for lunch today.

I believe they are still in soft opening so the old signage is still there from SubVegan and the new is in the works. It is a process and I can't wait to see what is next. Regardless of the exterior everything from the interior is delicious.

Pros: Excellent service, Quality ingrediants
