"A hole-in-the-wall spot for gourmet tamales in the neighborhood. Go early -- they sell out fast."

Foodies, you will really love this tamales spot. With more than 22 unique tamale flavors to choose from, you’re spoiled for choice at Tamales Doña Emi. But more than that, their fillings are different from the traditional kind. For example, they do a tamale stuffed with Huitlacoche (known as the Mexican truffle) and goat’s cheese or Oaxaca cheese. Then, there’s one made with pork loin, tomato, and green olives. Craving something sweet? Order the bright pink dried cranberry tamale! Or, for breakfast, they stuff crispy buns with tamales.
