New Mexico Tamale Fest — Local services in Las Cruces

Only 4 trucks selling tamales and 3 trucks ran out of tamales by 10 pm living one truck. And the lines were 2 hour waiting. I spend most of my time in line, instead of enjoying the fest. The only reason I dint leave is because I had already bought the tickets for the tamales. For events like this one you need 12 or more food trucks to ease off on time waiting in line. This is the 2nd time I go to events in Las Cruces and it's the same. I don't understand why they can't see that, it's anoying waiting in line for 2 or more hour.for food. Go back to the enchilada fest in 1980 they had so many food trucks, 15 or more it seems that instead of getting better in the events in Las cruces we're...

One star for the entertainment. - Great entertaiment One star for the vendors. - Wide variety of wares.

Zero stars for the tamales. - 3 Tamale trucks, one sold out immediately and closed; second one had 1 tamale (Green Chili Brisket) which was tiny, dry and had a strip of brisket: third one had tamales, but also ran out and all of a sudden had more tamales. Had to wait in line for 40 minutes for something that was not worth eating.

Total waste of money. Shouldn't there be tamales at a Tamale Festival??? Highly...

i would give this event no stars if possible. $15/head to get in to see the same booths you can see on Saturday at the farmers market. And Food? We got there at 1030 and there was only a food truck that had french fries and cabbage. One with cotton candy and a beer booth. Dont drink, so bought a Coke for walk back to house and they made me throw it away at the gate.. A COKE!. Trash event, dont waste money or time on...
