I just stopped at a food truck called Steve's Tamales in praireville. Hands down the best tamales I ever had. They have spicy and mild but I would suggest trying a taste of the spicy before you get them because they are what they say they are, SPICY. Big yellow trailer on aireline at the corner of Hwy 73.

Actually, I can vouch for these. I've never had them from the trailer before, but my buddy brought me 2 dozen right after they made them.

I called him a few minutes later, and told him they were the best I've ever eaten.

As for being spicy, can't remember which flavor I had, but do remember them delivering a good kick.

They charged me $1 apiece cause I only got six of the mild. The spicy were a little too hot for me. There sign says $1 apiece or $10 a dozen.

Were these tamales wrapped in corn shucks or banana leaves?

Just picked up 2 dozen from the yellow trailer by 73 and Airline. Brought them back for the crew, needless to say, half are gone, half are breakfast tomorrow. VERY tasty!

I HIGHLY recommend getting the mild.

Not sure you know what I was referring to. I actually messed up reading the op and assumed these were spanish type tamales, which they were, and just wanted to know what kind. Different cultures/countries do them differently. Knowing they were wrapped in corn told me what I wanted to know.
