🌮 Posa’s El Merendero Tamale Factory: Best Tamales in Santa Fe
El Merendero Posa’s is one of our favorite local stops for authentic tamales — and we mean really good tamales.
For the best tamales in Santa Fe, Posa’s El Merendero is our top pick. While they offer a full menu of classic New Mexican dishes, the real draw here is that it’s also a full-fledged tamale factory. You can often catch a glimpse of the team hand-rolling tamales in the back, which makes it a fun and memorable stop.
We love picking up a few to-go and enjoying them back at the house — they make an easy and delicious breakfast, lunch, dinner, or even a quick snack. You can order hot tamales from the counter or grab a frozen pack from their freezer case to heat up later. Either way, it’s a local experience worth savoring.
