The Lady Tamales

For years the owner of The Lady Tamales would make her generational recipe for delicious hot tamales at home and sell them out of her house. Now the little storefront off Fairview Drive is her restaurant, and you can have one of these locally famous tamales for yourself whenever you'd like. In addition to tamales you'll find the most authentic Mexican cuisine, including carnitas tacos, burritos and posole. Stop in and get lunch to go or pick up a dozen tamales to bring home and share. The owner is as welcoming as can be, and the food is one of Carson City's best-kept secrets.
