For twenty years Claudio Velez has been checking out the bars of Chicago areas almost every night, offering his handcrafted pork and chicken tamales to the nightlife scene. With a beer called after him, and a loud cheer at every bar he walks into, Claudio has ended up being a real star of late-night dining.

Tamal = singular
Tamales = plural
Tamale = there’s no such word
True😅
Pues a que decir que tamale es tamal
❤
I guess the bar is an excellent spot because a couple of tamales will sober you up a bit.
Plus not a lot of bars sell food after a bit and the late night crowd is ALWAYS hungry
R.I.P. THE Tamele Lady in Denver. So many late nights at the Fillmore, next to the Greateful Dead bar across the street. She was a hard mean yet sweet 😇 Angel. Bless the Tamele folks around the world.
NO, not her!!!!!!!!!
I’ve never bought my tomales from a man before. idk, The Tomale Lady is somewhere in my soul.
Lifelong Chicagoan now in my mid 60s. Never heard of this guy. I guess I don’t get out much?
He should’ve been at the festival last weekend. I would’ve supported.
I first encountered him at a bar in North Ave. known as Emporium. It was around 2 in the morning, this was pre covid
Hah, funny to see him on here. I’ve had those tamales plenty of times, perfect bar snack.
Tamales are PreHispanic MesoAmerican Cuisine that has been a culinary staple 1000’s of years before Cortes, et al arrived from Spain
Riquísimos Los Tamales!
I miss my how town of Chgo, now in FL s.w. don’t know if he delivers frozen that far and would it be spoiled by the time it gets to Cape coral Fl.
