HOUSTON, Texas -- "Who doesn't love a good tamale?" One customer asked inside The Tamale Joint.

The family-owned restaurant is a passion of Jorge Penaloza and his wife, Chelis. She is originally from Michoacán and learned how to make tamales from her mom.

"Chelis makes handmade tamales," Penaloza said. "Oh my God, everybody loves Chelis' tamales."
