About The Tamale Spaceship
If you've been to Chicago, IL, chances are you've heard of The Tamale Spaceship. As the city's oldest food truck, they've been cruising for quite some time, delivering gourmet Mexican eats on the streets in style.
Just what goodness will you find on board? As the namesake suggests, The Tamale Spaceship is full of, well, tamales. But not just any tamales, mind you. These tamales are out of this world delicious, filled with exotic ingredients in unique combinations to tantalize your tastebuds. Take, for example, the al pastor tamal bursting with adobo marinated pork in a spicy tomatillo arbol sauce alongside grilled pineapple. Or the roasted chicken variety in a decadent poblano mole. They've even got seasonal varieties like duck confit sweetened with dried fruit mole and cranberries, not to mention the aptly named Dynamic tamal with goat cheese in garlic morita sauce. Drool worthy? Absolutely. Find The Tamale Spaceship landing on a curb near you, or have 'em out to cater your next event. Trust us. There's a reason they've been around so long.
