Some of the best tamales I’ve ever had are made by @Nieves Cortés’s mom! I went to the market to try Nieves Cortes’ Concha Nieves, but ended up also trying these tamales (mole, jalapeño and tomato with cheese, pork shoulder with red salsa, and chicken with salsa verde). H/T to @Rob Martinez who also does a deeper dive on how Fidel’s mom approaches the nixtamalization process to make her tamales. Fidel’s mom sells Tamales every Sunday starting at 11am at an indoor market he’s helped curate called 📍La Placita de Knickerbocker. Please follow Fidel on IG for more updates on the market! The market has an about 10-12 vendors selling food + artistic goods and please bring cash if you decide to visit! Also, they are going to start selling their tamales in the Bronx soon so stay tuned!
