Hey Foodies: Tamale Festival Takes Place this Month in Tysons Corner

Tysons Corner restaurant La Sandía is going to be tamale heaven for the next few weeks.

The restaurant is hosting a Tamale Festival through Jan. 31. The festival includes traditional tamales, specialty tamales, and desert tamales.

If you haven’t had a tamale before, it’s a Latin American comfort food made of stuffed masa and wrapped in corn husks or banana leaves. The tamales can be stuffed with pretty much any kind of protein. 

The stuffings that will be offered during the tamale fest include fish, beans and cheese, and even fried chicken.

La Sandía is located at Tysons Corner Center mall near the Barnes and Noble. Visit their website for additional information, menus and special events.
