    Hi,

    According to this thread, bunch tamales are pretty rare. Johnnies serves them as well as Veteran Tamales.

    I will venture to guess Veteran Tamales, because many here would instantly recognize Johnnies.

    Regards,

    I do not see a dog in that bun. Could it be the 'old-time specialty, tamale-in-a bun' mentioned in this post as served at...

    Nope.

    Here's a hint, it's all about the floor. The floor is the key, the clue, the what makes this an interesting Guess the Restaurant.
