Order Your Christmas Tamales Ahead
The busiest weeks of the year book up fast. Pre-order 3 or more weeks ahead and pay upfront for 10% off - all five flavors available, made fresh to order for Christmas Eve, Christmas, or New Year's.
Who this is for
Families who love the tradition but don't have a whole day to spend making tamales themselves this year - and anyone hosting a holiday gathering in North County San Diego. Curious about the tradition itself? Read about the tamalada on our blog.
How ordering works
From your order to your door (or pickup) - here's what happens and when.
What you get
Tamales made fresh the day of your pickup or delivery, wrapped and ready to reheat. Mix and match flavors by the dozen, and ask about 10% off orders placed 3 or more weeks ahead, paid upfront.
What it costs, before we start
1 dozen is $42. Buy more and the per-dozen price drops: 2 dozen is $76 (save $8), 4 dozen is $153 (save $15, our best value), 6 dozen is $205 — the go-to for parties and events.
