[Houston] Zacahuil

[Jay Francis]

Has anyone discovered a good restaurant making authentic Zacahuil in Houston?

After reading descriptions of these monstrous, 6-foot tamales filled with all sorts of delicacies (whole turkies?!), then wrapped in banana leaves and baked in a fire, I would be hard pressed to think of any restaurant that would offer these on a regular basis. A church festival, maybe closer to CHristmas, might be youro best hope to encounter this beast.

Well, there's El Campesino, where I've been getting my Zacahuil, but it is oven cooked an not the most spectacular. I guess it is the only show in town.

tell us about this place.

A little research shows it at Bellaire & Fondren. Care to give a quick review of it?

I can't find out much about it by googling.

Thanks.
