One of the biggest draws to the weekly downtown and Sunset Farmer's markets in Austin is Oaxacan Tamaleo. Perhaps you have seen Leonor Baņos balancing her Grecian sized jar on her head? Or maybe you just head down to La Chica minimart where she serves up daily meals to those of us in the know who demand earthy flavors at a price you don't have to explain to your spouse. Leonor's
Oaxacan-style tamales wrapped in banana leaves are made without lard-all the flavor without the guilt! Choices include chicken, pork and seasonal specialties.

Tamaleo is a play on the words tamale and Leo, Leonor's nickname.
