I've struck out: Three times now I've arrived too late in the day for this Mexican lady's tamal dulce. On my most recent attempt, late one Sunday morning, she told me with regret that both the tamales dulce and the mole tamales "se terminan pronto." In lieu of chicken or pork I enjoyed this very nice tamal that sported rajas ($1.50), "strips" of roasted and seasoned chili peppers. I don't know that I'll try again for the tamal dulce; if you fancy your timing, buena suerte.
