I am having a mexican fiesta for christmas day and need help,

Best around here

Guillory's Grocery
3708 Derbigny
Metairie 70001
833-1390

I'm actually waiting on a friend to bring me some. I know its no help today. But I'll send review. Made with deer meat.

Thanks guys!!!!!!!

Slammer--I want some...lol

sounds great .... what time should i be there ?

Dee, here's an idea for a desert / pastry :

use some cake flour, egg , milk and butter, mix the batter very thin. make some soft cake tortillias, sprinkle with powdered sugar.

use some fresh fruit bananas , strawberries, kiwi or some pie filling and whipped creme for the filling.


just an idea, thought i'd throw it out there.

on the westbank, you can find a Tamale stand on the corner of Terry Parkway & Harvard ave.

Try a Nicaraguan style tamale named Nacatamale. They sell them at the Union Supermarket in Kenner for $3.50. I've attached a link below with pic. http://biggestmenu.com/rdr/CA/Azusa/...catamale-37181
