Original Tommy’s mentions in his networks that this tamal is made with beef and also add chili with meat which is his specialty. To make matters worse, yellow cheese is added to this food, jtomatoes, onions and cucumbers, ingredients that are common in burgers.

The reason this restaurant adds ingredients from a burger to tamal is that they mainly sell this product on their premises, but they have decided to add this Mexican dish to their menu.

“Enjoy our beef tamal covered with our world-famous chili. The perfect food,” reads the restaurant’s posts to promote this dish.
