| Sweet aromas of Mexican pastries fill the informal Reynaldo’s and waft down Carpinteria’s main street. But the real draw here is tamales---moist, steamed cornmeal dough embracing fillings such as zesty shredded pork with red sauce or chicken with mild tomatillo salsa. When it comes to traditional Mexican comfort food, this is as good as it gets. And the simplicity of the dining experience (order from the preternaturally kind ladies behind the counter and take a seat at one of the outdoor tables) provides a perfect match for the food. It’s not uncommon for foodies in the know to pop off the freeway and buy the tamales by the dozen, wrapped in cozy cornhusks and sealed tightly to go. |
