It's Tamale Time!

It’s tamale time! While holiday meals in American households vary by culture, taste, and preference, in many homes, tamales are a favorite. Those unfamiliar with this tradition may wonder why anyone would eat tamales for Christmas. If you're thinking the same thing, here's why many people continue to include tamales as part of their holiday meals.

1. It’s a Time-honored Tradition

Tamales have been a staple in Mexican culture for centuries. Their origins can be traced back to the times of the Aztecs, Mayans and Olmecs. Since tamales were portable food, they were often used to feed men when they were away for battle or on hunting trips. Over the centuries, as people moved and traveled around the world, they took tamales with them. They also continued to eat them on special occasions and holidays, especially Christmas.

2. It’s a Reason Families Get Together

Tamales represent the coming together of family members who gather around to make and eat them. They're easy to make, but when fixed traditionally, they can be very time-consuming. That's why we've made our Texas tamales affordable in all five flavors – pork, chicken, beef, black bean, and green chili - so everyone can enjoy a good tamale during the holidays.

3. Tamales Taste Good

Tamales are a comforting and delicious food. They’re a great meal to enjoy throughout the holiday season. For many people, November and December just wouldn't be the same without eating tamales.


Join us tonight from 5-8 p.m. as we prepare Texas Tamales for you, pairing the night with Babich Sauvignon Blanc, Marques de Caceres Rioja Reserva, and Piattelli Rose of Malbec. Scatola Di Pasta will be open as well serving delicious pizza and pasta.
