tamales
I would like to report that she is still there selling her tamales and burritos. No longer under the tree since it was cut down a few years ago but
on the south side of the new pemex and still in her green van. I stoped in last tuesday and had lunch there. fishin rich

A guy was selling Carmelita's tamales out of a blue van last week. He had hot coffee as well. There is also another yellow van there selling tortas
and other things. They had a couple tables set up too!! I recommend Carmelita's beef tamales!

They are outstanding - and have just the right spices! Oh, I wish I had a few of them right now.

tamales
The last time I stopped at the tamale lady(guy) I was with my wife she had not had one so we stopped I ordered 1 apiece because we were going to eat
later, so down the road we have our tamale, then my wife says to me don't you EVER order just one.

Carmelita's son "Mr. Joe" was working the van when I stopped on the 11th.
I'm sorry to report than her daughter Ramona lost her battle with substance abuse a few months ago. She was the second child of Carmelita's to precede
her to the great beyond. We liked Ramona, and when we last talked, she seemed to be doing better. She was "washing" customer's cars for tips. Alcohol
is a drug, and it does kill. Too bad. No olives in my last four tamales though, I was disappointed.

there is no better place to swoop in and grab a snack. as soon as you leave EL ROSARIO, seems the next loncheria is this- the next fast-feed GRINDS.

inside joke
Bob--It's kind of an inside joke between dave and I. There is someone out there who removes the viva baja stickers when ever they encounter them.
The tamale wagon being the #1 spot hit. I am always putting new stickers on it and by now it's turning into a joke. fishin rich
