Barbacoa Tamal de Res

The Barbacoa Tamal de Rez is described as very comforting and homey, living up to the reviewer's positive memories from a previous year. It has a nice kick and is flavorful, with the barbacoa being salty and well-balanced by the masa. The spice is noted to come from either the salsa, the beef seasoning, or both, making it a well-received dish.

The barbacoa tamale, featuring Oaxaca cheese, tomatillo salsa, and salsa crema, was a standout favorite. Both reviewers were highly impressed, describing it as "really tasty" and "outstanding," particularly praising the green sauce and the tender, juicy barbacoa. They felt it was a significant improvement over last year's offering and were "very happy" with it. This tamale is rated a 5 out of 5.

The Barbacoa Tamal de Res features a good amount of beef filling with crema and green sauce on top, offering a good spice and acidic flavor. The beef itself has a great flavor, and while it doesn't compare to homemade tamales, it passes for a theme park item at Disney California Adventure. The addition of cheese, beef, crema, and salsa verde makes it even better, and the reviewer intends to order it throughout the season.
