Where Southern smoke meets tamale tradition, CC’s Hot Tamales & BBQ is serving up some of Houston’s boldest and most unexpected flavors. This food trailer has built a cult following for its creative spin on a Mexican classic—starting with hickory-smoked brisket tamales that pack a real Texas punch. Other crowd favorites include Cajun chicken, slow-cooked pork shoulder, and for the plant-based crowd, a rotating lineup of vegan options like black bean, broccoli-spinach, and the crave-worthy Tangy Jardin.

And if you’ve got a sweet tooth, CC’s doesn’t hold back. Dessert tamales like red velvet and lemon cream cheese flip tradition on its head in the best way possible. Whether you're feeding a hungry crowd or just looking for something new in Houston’s food scene, CC’s Hot Tamales & BBQ delivers serious flavor wrapped in soul.
