Guillory's Deli and Tamales Metairie

New Orleans style hot tamales by the plate or pressed into a po-boy.

A hot sausage po-boy made extra, extra hot with chili and jalapenos.

Fried chicken that’s served lickety split quick but is still crisp and crunchy.

Boudin balls for a road snack and Bunny Bread and milk jugs for the neighbors.

What is this place? It’s @guillorysdeli , a one-time grocery long ago turned into an old school lunch counter well hidden on a residential stretch of Metairie — a suitably old-fashioned place to rediscover the increasingly rare regional variety of New Orleans style hot tamales.

It’s run by three brothers. Their dad’s hot tamale recipe was once a bar snack at a pool hall down the street. Then it made it to the deli menu and into a po-boy.
