If you&#8217;ve ever been to the Sunset Valley (formerly Westlake) farmers market or to their old location on Anderson between Burnet and Lamar, you may have seen her balancing a pot or vase on her head. While that&#8217;s the most visible symbol of the restaurant, it&#8217;s their amazing tamales and other fare that are the real reason to pay attention to them.<\/p>\n<p>The old location was a small section of a convenience store and they only took cash. It always felt like a fly by night operation that might get shut down at any moment even though they lasted there for years. I noticed a couple of months ago that they&#8217;d vacated that location and wondered whether they&#8217;d simply moved or had gone out of business. Luckily, it was the former, as Statesman food critic, Dale Rice, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.statesman.com\/blogs\/content\/shared-gen\/blogs\/austin\/dalestable\/entries\/2007\/08\/13\/weekend_food_find.html\">apprently found out this weekend<\/a>. I have to think that he&#8217;d been to the old location, but maybe not. The blog post doesn&#8217;t mention it.<\/p>\n<p>They&#8217;ve recently moved to a new location on Highway 71 on the way to Bastrop. They&#8217;re roughly 11 miles east of the airport. While this location isn&#8217;t as convenient to central Austin, there isn&#8217;t much on the way between Bastrop and Austin at the moment, so they&#8217;re probably going to get a decent amount of walk-in traffic.  If I don&#8217;t make it out to the new location before the holidays, I&#8217;m sure I&#8217;ll be trekking out there for some tamales come Christmas. We had all of the out-of-town relatives raving about them last year.<\/p>\n<p><i>Image from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tamaleo.com\/\">Oaxacan Tamaleo<\/a><\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You&#8217;re probably already familiar with Oaxacan Tamaleo through its easily recognizable proprietor Leonor Banos-Stoute.
