Abate's is the name of the place selling the tamales?

Any place in Zwolle makes good tamales.

Not sure if best, but the ones at Pimanyoli's are worth a try.

The ones my dead grandmother used to make....Honduran style, if you haven't had Honduran tamales you're missing out.
Honduran>>>Mexican by far imo.

When my dad kills a deer we get some venison tamales from Pete Giovenco. They are the bomb

Had some at the Freret Street Fair a while back that were awesome. They were from Agave Tamales in Lake Charles.

How's about Fat Mama's in Natchez? 
Posted on 12/18/11 at 4:00 pm to mouton
My mother's.

I made some once that tasted exactly like Manuel's, even down to the grease. Unfortunately, I didn't write down exactly how I did it that day. (I like to try different variations of amounts in recipes.)
I still have the source recipe, I just have to recreate the proportions I used that day. I can tell you that the reason most people can't duplicate Manuel's is due to the method, not the ingredients.
I will share here when/if I can recreate it.

agree, but My friends grandma sometimes puts tons of capers and olives in them and it throws off the taste. I like the banana leaf version myself.
