Growing up just east of East L.A., I have been quite accustomed to thinking tamales synonymous with the holidays. It's right up there with hot chocolate, peppermint mocha coffees, candy canes, and cookies. There's just something comforting about unwrapping that corn husk and seeing the steam rise from the masa. Like opening up a present with delicious rewards.While we would get them homemade from our neighbor across the street, not everyone has that option. With the roll out of the Eastside Extension of the Metro Gold Line, getting these delectably filled foods is a little easier.
Check out this list of tamale vendors within walking distance from a Metro Gold Line Eastside station.*
