The Top Ten Dishes of 2008 - #7: Pork Tamales at Taqueria la Pasadita

gutcheck08.jpg

The tamales (available only on the weekend) are the best I've had in St. Louis. The masa has a texture and flavor an awful lot like cornbread -- or, to be more precise, jalapeño cornbread: either because the heat from the pork has leached into the masa, or because there's some pepper tossed into the masa mix, it's very spicy.

"Tortilla Fats" (June 12, 2008)

Taqueria la Pasadita
2336 Woodson Road, Overland
314-428-3832

The countdown -- and Gut Check -- will resume on Monday morning. Have a great weekend. Eat something good.
