I've been having a tamale craving

Unfortunately I am finding if I try to order Tamales online, the shipment costs more than the product. I'm seriously thinking of learning how to make my own. Meanwhile, I'm on the hunt for some local tamales. I just hope I'm not too late since this is the season for tamale making & eating

Looking for good places to buy tamales

After the tamale festival I realize I still have a taste for some. Anyone know of some good tamales in the Los Angeles area?

LA Tamale Festival

We went to the Tamale Festival Yesterday. It was the 3rd annual but my first time. I love food festivals and trying new things. Had a great torta and some pretty good tamales. I should have known to stay away from the 3 for $5 tamales at the place where people were lining up for the tortas. I'll just leave it at that. Did try a pineapple tamale for the first time ever and would have another one. I see myself going back next year but this is one of those festivals that I would go for maybe an hour but I can't see spending a day there.
