-Best Tamales: Pepe's Tamales
This El Paso institution's reputation extends well beyond the border. Even President Bush and first lady Laura are fans. And regardless of what you think of the Bushes politics, you can trust them on the tamales. Pepe's husks have plenty of meat and masa that is nicely seasoned. And at Pepe's you can pick your flavor, red chile, green chile and chicken, or green chile and cheese tamales.
