Yeah, that’s how it is here too. I lucked out, the spouse and fam make them tight and fat, so you wanna eat like 6 of them, but damn are they perfect! My mil has been making dessert tamales, she fills them with a mix of quesa fresca and shredded pineapple, then puts pineapple juice, cinnamon and vanilla in the masa
we have a great tamale guy here too (unfortunately he is famous and naming him would narrow down my location to like, three streets) and he makes them right, but like outside of him and family i have not been able to find good tamales.

If you haven’t hit him up for recipes, you totally should. Then send them my way.
