These are not traditional tamales. They're huge, wrapped in banana leaves, and incredibly messy. I just opened up the aluminum foil in the banana leaf and dumped the contents out. I'm originally from Texas and have eaten more than my share of tamales. Luckily I chopped it up a little bit before eating it because I did not realize it had bones in it. This may be traditional of these type of tamales, but be fair warned. This was not an accident The bones are placed there on purpose for taste I assume.

La Guadalupana Mini Market 2 is a small, no-frills place, but it’s got charm. They carry a few Latin grocery staples, which is great if you're looking for something different in Pawling.
The people there are always super friendly, and the food while more Guatemalan than Mexican is pretty tasty. I’ve had some really good meals here, but I’ll be honest: it’s not always consistent. I think it depends on who’s cooking that day. Still, for a town that doesn’t have a ton of variety, it’s a solid option.
I’d give the food a 6 or 7 out of 10. Worth checking out if you’re in the area and craving...
