stopped in for a dose of tamales yesterday and to my suprise, the van wasn't there. filled up the tank at jesus maria (didn't have gas to make el
rosario) and then noticed, to the south of the station was a new casita and the "new" carmelita's.
went in and sat down and the little old lady seemed like the happiest person alive! she said she'd been in the new digs about 7 months. seems her
patrons were complaining about the dust blowing thru while they tried to eat. she said it "only"" took 17 years for her to upgrade.
still, the best tamales - EVER!!!
ooops

If I were a 'news reporter' I could say..."Aha! Scooped you!"

That headline gave me a fright.... got to have those tamales and burritos, She feeds us from there to Loreto and to Baja Cactus on the way back.

Couldn't agree more, Phil. But I am in a rut. I have never ordered anything but three beef burritos for the road for many years now. Maybe next
trip I will try the ...............? Hey, I have it...three beef burritos to eat there!!

we ordered 6 chicken tamales and she mentioned something about one for her. 2 hours later when i reached for my 3rd, i noticed there was a fourth
. so that's what she meant, a mexican "half-dozen"
