So, I know the review was quite awhile ago…Did ya get a chance to try a tamale??? My Aussie husband got to be indoctrined into traditional tamale making while we were visiting in the states. A dear friend had the whole family over and we made 22 dozen pork and chicken tamales. It’s all in the sauce.

Hi Jen-That’s really the only issue I have with eatability, the fact that there are so many spammers. Although what is good is that they seem to do such a transparent job you immediately know they’re from the establishment in question.

I wish I had received my tamale, I was really curious to see how it tasted. Perhaps I’ll go back just to try some!

haha that’s funny, I thought exactly the same thing about the comments for Baja Cantina on eatability, especially after going there; the food was horrible and the service just shameful. However, we LOVED FFS, even spoke with the chef who’s American and he’s making it all from scratch. He was really excited about bringing tamales to Sydney – the reason he said he knew FFS were first to do them was because the suppliers of Mexican ingredients are very few in Sydney, they all pretty much go through one importer and she had not had anyone ordering masa harina and banana leaves for tamales before FFS opened.

Sorry to disagree so vehemently Rob, but from my experience, the real Mexican is at FFS and so are the “yank” and Mexican clientele. If crowds are anything to go by, BC sits empty while the FFS has people spilling out the doors, very telling.
