When this RGV fixture finally opened a storefront in SA, folks formed long lines looking to score a dozen tamales. Delia’s offers classic options like pork, chicken and Veracruzano, but it’s possible to kick things up a notch with a specialty order, like chicken and cheese cooked in green sauce. If a trip to the Hausman location isn’t in the cards, Delia’s tamales are still on the menu, since the chain ships nationwide. Credit: Brandon RodriguezBest Thai Restaurant
