THE NEW YORK TAMAL
The New York Times presentó a Factory Tamal en una reseña de 2025, elogiando su dedicación al antiguo proceso intensivo de tiempo de nixtamalización, que crea masa (masa) desde cero para sus auténticos tamales hechos a mano, como las variedades "tocón y queso" y "rajas con queso". El artículo destacó la textura "bellamente esponjosa, pegajosa y desmenuzable" de los tamales y los rellenos innovadores, como el pollo inspirado en la tinga, todo mientras se sirven sándwiches de huevo y otros artículos para satisfacer las necesidades del vecindario.
