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.

Not only did my sisters and I drive over an hour and a half for this food, it was completely worth it. I have never had a better experience at a shawarma place and I love chicken shawarma. The service was fast and amazing. The ambiance was also nice and quaint. We all ordered their cheesy spicy chicken shawarma wraps which comes with this creamy sauce (reminded me of spicy hummus) and this spicy Asian type sauce. Both were delicious and paired perfectly with our wraps. Their wrap was hot, so crispy, stuffed with chicken and cheese, and incredible. I would have ordered another one if I hadn't been so full. They are very long also and a great size to fill you up. If you're hungry and looking to be blown away by amazing food, look no 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).

This is the first flea market I have visited in the New Orleans area…read more I was a little underwhelmed as most of the stores sold the same items and came only in kids' sizes. The food court offered mostly Latin/South American options. I really wanted some french fries but could not find any. For a nice Saturday afternoon, I wanted to see more of the vendors open for business. I do like the fixed structure of the flea market versus the typical mobile structure you usually see.

Taste Budz is located in a small parking lot off of the main road. While there is signage outfront, if you aren't paying attention, you may miss the entrance. The parking lot is on the smaller side but thankfully, we were still able to find parking. I love that this location is a small family owned business. The employees were all incredibly kind and patient as we took forever trying to decide what we wanted. They have a rather large menu of snowballs, ice cream, and food items to choose from. I decided on a passion fruit snowball with gummy skittles and cream. Let me just say, the sizes are huge! Also, they don't skimp out on the flavoring as we have found at other places. From top to bottom, there was plenty of juice and not just ice. My boys enjoyed their snowballs as well and we'll be back to visit in the future.

You might guess by the name of this business being "Rollie's Hot Diggity Dogs" that there are hot dogs involved and you would be right as you often have a choice of a Hebrew National, Alligator sausage or crawfish sausage to pair with your toasted bun.

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.
