Every December, lines start forming outside La Casita before sunrise, all for a taste of their hand-made tamales—a tradition that’s been going strong in Denver for 50 years. The demand is so wild that the shop cranks out over 12,000 tamales a day, yet they’re usually gone before noon! Locals swear by their red chile pork and green chile cheese varieties, and even longtime home cooks say these taste just like abuela’s. If you want to snag a dozen, plan ahead—some folks even freeze them for later. What’s your go-to spot for holiday tamales? #Food #DenverEats #TamaleSeason
