Solly's has been serving Delta-style hot tamales from a walk-up window on Washington Street since 1939, making it one of the oldest continuously operating tamale stands in Mississippi. The Delta hot tamale tradition traces to Mexican laborers who worked the levees and railroads in the 1890s, and Solly's is widely cited as Vicksburg's most iconic expression of that tradition.
