AUSTIN (KXAN) — After KXAN did a callout on social media asking where the best tamales were in Austin, there were a few places in and around the area everyone preferred.

While not one person said a single place in Austin stood out, the consistency remained in where Austinites said the best places for tamales reign, even if they are not directly in Austin.
