In Texas, the holidays taste like tamales.
Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, New Year, Día de los Muertos: order your dozens early in our online store, for delivery to the house or pickup at our Plano kitchen on the day you choose. Pork in red salsa, chicken in green, from a family recipe, with gluten-free masa.
Four tables we cook for every year
Día de los Muertos
Tamales for the ofrenda and for the family that gathers around it. Read the tradition and how to order.
Thanksgiving
The Texas table has turkey and tamales side by side. Two or three dozen covers most families with leftovers. See tamales at Thanksgiving.
Christmas Eve & Day
The big one. Reserve early; Christmas week is the first to sell out every year. Read why tamales mean Christmas in Texas.
New Year
Dozens for the party and for the slow first morning of the year. Reheating instructions come with every order.
Keep the tradition. Lose the exhaustion.
Making holiday tamales at home is a two-day job that takes over every pot, every counter and every relative. Some families love that. Most families love the eating part. We make yours the way the women in our family made them: fresh masa, slow-cooked meat, chiles toasted that morning, every tamal wrapped by hand. You get the tradition on the table and your kitchen back.
If you still want the gathering without the labor, read how to host a tamalada and let us supply the tamales.

Best tamales I’ve ever eaten!!! No joke. Chicken tamales - clean, not greasy at all, amazing (not too much) masa, and lots of chicken breast meat (no fat) and a really nice green tomatillo flavor. My family loves tamales- we will be eating these!!!!Rebecca Herrera

Holiday ordering questions
When should I reserve Christmas tamales?
As early as you can. Christmas week is the first to fill every year. Order in the online store and pick your date ahead. Next day orders must be received and confirmed by us before noon the previous day. Only confirmed orders will be delivered as requested.
Can you deliver on the holiday itself?
Our kitchen hours are Tuesday–Wednesday and Friday–Saturday, 9 AM–2 PM, closed Sunday, Monday and Thursday. If the holiday falls on a closed day, order for the closest open day before it and reheat on the day, or keep frozen tamales ready.
Can I order extra and freeze them?
Yes. Tamales freeze well in the husk. Cool them, bag them tightly, and they reheat beautifully from frozen in a steamer. Our freezing and storing guide has the details.
How do I reheat them on the day?
Steam them in the husk until hot through, or wrap them in a damp paper towel and microwave. Full instructions come with the order and in how to reheat tamales.
Are holiday tamales the same as your regular menu?
Yes: pork in red salsa and chicken in green salsa, gluten-free masa, made from scratch, $30 a half dozen or $60 a dozen. The holiday difference is the volume and the calendar, which is why we ask you to order early.
Do you deliver holiday orders to Plano, Frisco and Dallas?
Yes, across our whole delivery area. Choose delivery in the online store; the delivery fee is shown at checkout. Pickup at our Plano kitchen is also available.
