Traditional Beef Tamales

Cootie Brown’s ships its famous beef tamales nationwide on Goldbelly! Cootie Brown’s number 1 seller, its beef tamales are shredded beef slow simmered in authentic Mole sauce surrounded in tender masa and wrapped in corn husks. In keeping with true Mexican tradition, Cootie Brown’s does everything the old fashioned way by fire roasting Ancho and Guajillo chilis and blending that with vine-ripened tomatoes and distinct spices to make a Mole that is rich and full of flavor.

Opened by the Vella family in 1999, Cootie Brown’s is an eclectic Johnson, Tennessee, restaurant that serves dishes inspired by fictitious Cootie Brown’s travels around the world. One of Cootie Brown’s most famous creations is its signature two-layer Key lime pie, a rich, silky, and tart masterpiece.

Since 1999, Cootie Brown’s has brought bold diverse flavors and a bit of funk to Johnson City. From New Orleans Muffaletta and Caribbean Jamaican Jerk Chicken to Mexican Tamales and Memphis style BBQ, Cootie Brown has defined an experience quite unlike anything else. But it's their line of homemade desserts that really showcases their unconventional creativity—each pie is a double layer masterpiece. Their most famous Key Lime pie is handmade from scratch and features one tart key lime layer and a second sweet, creamy layer. It’s seriously a one of a kind!
