This dish was an odd one. Not necessarily bad, but just odd.

A hefty hot dog enrobed in masa (corn dough) to be almost like a tamale stuffed with hot dog instead of beef or cheese.

It’s confusing because all of the flavors are there that you would expect, from the very “tamale” flavor of the masa to the wonderful hearty, hot dog and the cool tomatoes of the pico de gallo. But it doesn’t really gel together the way one would hope.

It’s almost like you’re eating a hot dog and a tamale, but not a tamale hot dog.

It’s a confusing dish and not necessarily something we would order again.

But we’re glad we tried it this once.

And being a hot dog of the month flavor, we look forward to next month’s new experiment.
