Steph Yang: Try the duck confit tamale!! It's different, but GOOD, especially with the mole!!
Sharif Nassr: The vegetarian tamales are great. Be warned: stay away from the other tamales, as the corn masa is prepared with lard! If you don't eat swine, you'll thank me every-time.
Amy Graff: Barbacoa-style chicken tamales w. peanut mole are perfect. Try the guacamole-- best ever! Nicest guys too.
Jen Usellis: River Valley Ranch on the corner of Clark & Washington is a must! Their $10 mushroom mix bags and tamales are to die for!
P S: Bigger fruit /veg selection at the NE corner of plaza. On SW corner, mushroom tamales. On N side, Blues Brothers building and lawyers.
Nelson Rodriguez: Salsas Vallarta has really fresh salsas and hummus available. The Jalapeño Salsa - Hot is my favorite! Also, there's lots of great places to sample different cheeses.

Daniel Crum: I enjoyed Lukes, but I don't have anything else to compare it to. Had the Beef & Sausage combo (dipped)- would recommend. However, it's criminal that they don't have anyway for you to wash-up - messy!
