Tamale Boy is a Mexican restaurant that you absolutely must head to if you are in the Portland Airport area. Offering up delightfully scrumptious tamales, this eatery has patrons willing to drive up from miles away, just to enjoy the tasty treats. Start off the meal with a Guacamole Molcajete (which is guacamole prepared at your table), then try the Oaxaquenos Tamales (wrapped in a banana leaf) or the Norteno Tamales (wrapped in a corn husk) with chicken, pork or vegetables stuffing, and you will certainly want to come back for more. Complement your meal with a traditional Paloma cocktail or opt for an Aguas Fresca to quench your thirst.
