Claudio Velez, often referred to as the Tamale Guy,[2][3]Authentic Tamale Guy[4] or the Tamale Man,[5] is a cook and mobile caterer of tamales in Chicago.[6] Originally from Acapulco, Mexico,[1] Velez has a longstanding reputation in the city's North Side nightlife as a food provider outside and inside of clubs, bars, and other establishments open late at night.[7][8] He has been called "Santa Claus for the drunk and hungry"[9] and sells up to 250 pork, chicken or cheese tamales a night.[10] A mobile app through a Twitter account was developed by a customer intended to help others track his location across the city.[11][12]
