Cuban tamales differ from the tamales recipes of other Latin American countries and also in the way they are served and when. To begin with the Cuban word for them is actually “TAMAL” and tamales is the plural.

Cuban tamales can be made and eaten at any time of the year and usually have more meat inside than the tamales from other countries. Some Cubans also like to serve their tamales with catsup on the side.  They are moist and juicy and delicious.

At Palomilla’s in Atlanta, they serve tamales with crisp and tender shredded pork, onions, and a lime on the side.  Of course, white rice and beans come with the dish.  Fabulous, yummy, and definitely worth the search for your local Cuban restaurant!!
