Old Style Hot Tamales 2004 1/2 Claire Avenue…read moreGretna, La 70053-4448 I had been asking around inquiring about who was one of the best tamale makers in greater New Orleans and statewide. Well 4 out of every 5 said, Old Style Hot Tamales. I called them because I was needing quite a few for an event coming up in a few days. I spoke with the youngest of the children of the Buwes, who built this dynasty. I told Don Buwe about the feed back from my inquiry and told him what I needed, and when I would need them. Don Buwe said let me check, I'll call you back with availability, Hence , I placed my order. It arrived a couple Of days later as I requested, I tasted the product and I can honestly say, " these are the best Hot Tamales I have ever eaten". They were the right size, the right amount of spice, the right amount of meat, and the flour/Mesa was unlike any I've ever tasted. There was a buttery taste, and the gravy was a beautiful brownish red, nat'ually Nu' Awlins y'all, just the right weight for the tamales to soak in, uh huh. Oooh mah gawd,! I think my mouth turned into a tamale conveyor belt! The matriarch and the late patriarch of this company needs to be given the congressional Metal for their Hot Tamale Product. Every event I have in the future will be an Old Style Hot Tamale theme. Dat's right, it's my pawdy and I'll serve Old Style Hot Tamales if I want to. The Buwes have several stands, the website has the locations. You can call and place orders for pick up fresh out of the pot. The Buwes tamales under the same name Old Style Hot Tamales are sold in our local markets. All calls are turned in ample time. If you have a big order call and see if you can be accommodated. This is a family that goes back many decades with a nat'ually nu'awlins product. I met Don and his mother and I was totally delighted. They feel the heartbeat of Louisiana in every way. They have made big changes having the tamale stands accessible for every one since Covid-19. Let's keep these Old Style Hot Tamales thriving, they are uhmmmmm uhmmmmmm good y'all. This is "MO" checking out, be mindful, prayerful and tamale y'all! I will follow up with pics this week.

This location has been open for about a year; there is another location on Magazine. There was no line and I parked right in front. I decided on a kid size with coconut and strawberry.

I enjoyed the Bananas Foster Cream flavor. We also had a Blue Raspberry, a Wild Strawberry .. one more I can't really remember. We had a big group. Seating like most places that are quaint, but well known -limited in NOLA. We enjoyed. We took ours for a drive to view the city folks' Halloween yard decor. This was a remarkable memory.

Decided to try some chicken from this place at the Cluck Fest. My cousin said he's had food from…read morethem before and that he really enjoys it. The menu had Jerk chicken, curry chicken, and brown stew chicken. I wish they would have listed the sides on the menu as well, so it wouldn't leave potential customers wondering what comes with the chicken. I planned to get the jerk chicken and my mom was going to get the brown stew chicken. My mother and I aren't eating rice right now, so we asked if we could get a plate without rice and peas and just double the veggies/ greens. He said he did not have enough veggies to do it for two plates. I said okay well if we get one plate can you do it on that one and he said ok. So instead of purchasing two plates we just purchased one jerk chicken plate. The chicken was good and the greens were flavorful. I wish there could've been another veggie offered like cabbage so I could've had cabbage and then greens, but overall I enjoyed the food. Only other tip besides adding the sides to the menu, is that I think they would've benefited from having another staff member. It was only one guy plating the food and taking the money/ orders. There was someone else who would come to refill the food but they didn't help serve.

The portions were good and the food was delicious. It's designed for takeout vs diningread more

It's a one stop shop for your taste buds to travel Latin America- no passport or cash needed. They had food vendors from Mexico all the way to the Dominican Republic. We tried shakes from Honduras- we picked strawberry and guyabano. Both flavors were delicious and cooled us down. Next we got carne asada arepas from Colombia, the meat was seasoned so well and it was oozing with cheese. We played it safe and got tacos from the Mexican spot. They were delicious! The tortillas were freshly pressed and the meat was loaded. They also give you a red salsa and green. I wish we would've left room for dessert because there were some good looking dessert options. I will definitely be back! If you do stop by, bring your appetite and athleisure wear (it's hot and you will leave with a full belly).

Awesome Latin food experience!!! The variety is amazing and vast. Definitely worth the trip across…read morethe river to the Westbank

This truck can be 5-stars if you pick the right meats, but there some misses. The best thing I had…read morewas the lengua; it was fabulously rich, tender, moist and flavorful. The carne asada (or whatever they call it here) took the #2 spot - a version I'd be happy with even in Austin or LA. Unfortunately, the cartinas really weren't carnitas, and the al pastor was a WTF?, like no other al pastor I'd had before. Stick with the lengua and carne asada if it's your first time. The tortillas are not handmade, but I guess no one really cares about that in New Orleans. They are a very nice commercial version though. Good salsas to boot it up a notch. If I ever move to NO, I know where I'll be stalking tacos. It's on the northside of the road.

It was their original droopy flavor, stuffed with vanilla ice cream and topped with whipped cream and Oreos. Wowwwwwww! The "droopy" flavor really is hard to explain, but it's so delicious. We stood in line for about 20 minutes. It was raining, but they had umbrellas at the front so I was able to shield myself from the rain. Really really really loveeeee this snowball. You 100% have to go just to experience it for yourself. The line is worth it.

Until yesterday, we decided to make the hour drive over to the stand. We hit the jackpot with the line because literally no one was there but it was only an hour after they opened. We ordered two snowballs. Droopy, and ice cream cream flavors. I gave my review two stars because they have really smooth ice but I'd give them zero stars for flavor. Neither snowball flavor was good. Especially the obviously over hyped droopy. I genuinely felt stupid for driving an hour over there after the fact! I'll never cheat on my favorite local snowball stand here in Mandeville again. Lesson learned!

I was dodging wheat and bread for dinner and wanted to hop around in NOLA looking for the perfect place to enjoy different treats. So I had my balls naked. I was so grateful to mix and match between two fabulous flavors.The first a massive and aromatic Paradise- Amish-style ham ball in a mustard gastrique (Gastrique is caramelized sugar, deglazed with vinegar, used as a flavoring for sauces). The second was the "Eat It"- Turkey ball studded with sweet potato and candied pecans with a spicy yogurt sauce!. Even my mostly vegetarian friend had to try a bite. My entire life I have always paid extra attention to the meatball. This has served me well with relationships and business dealings. I like them big and floppy on the plate.
