Help!  I need to be able to buy the best tamales in Collin Co, for dinner tomorrow!  I don't know how to make my own, so that is out.  So, who's got the best ones?

Hi Lrod, no I did not make it over to ft worth for tamales. Too far a drive from McKinney.

I know it's a little late for this thread, but El Grande Burrito in Allen makes the best Tamales I've ever eaten, and I have eaten a lot of tamales in my time.  You do need to phone ahead for them though.  Their other stuff is very good too.  This place is easy to miss but delicious!

I called 'tio Carlos in ft. worth and he said they have a new location  in north dallas,  
Sorry , memory problems, suggest you call him for address closer to you
HAd so-called 'minor stroke  and was lucky , lost no motor control , but have suffered memory problems,.ie. 'go shopping with no wallet, take lady friend to restaurant with no money in wallet, walk out of house with zipper undone, forget why I go to garage, loose things in my house, lots more weird stuff, etc  
lease remembr taste is all in recipie, but 'best"made" is tio Carlos
