A well prepared tamale is the best. My fiance's mom makes the best I've ever had, and I feel bad having to say that because the bar was set by my grandma since before I was born.
I love burritos too, but burritos are hit and miss more so than tamales. About 2 years ago the custodian at my old job offered me a "Strawberry Tamale", had never heard of it, thought it would maybe have just a little bit of flavor, I fucking hated it. I was starving and a tamale sounded amazing, but that shit was so sweet my teeth hurt, couldn't believe it's a thing.
