Tamale Mami

09/29/2026

I’m not even sure how to put this into words. 🥹

I’m so grateful to share that Tamale Mami is being featured by Total Wireless in locations throughout Chicago as part of their Hispanic Heritage Month campaign supporting Hispanic small-business owners.

Seeing my business on this ad honestly feels surreal. I’m just a girl who started making tamales, trying to build something for my family, and somehow this has grown into something I get to share with even more people.

I know I didn’t get here by myself. ❤️

I have to give so much love to my best friend Heather Holland , Jesse Jay-Will Williams, who has helped bring so much of my vision to life creatively, and Autumn Bastyr the owner of Little Lulu’s, for giving me a place and the support to grow. I’m also incredibly grateful for my family and every single person who has followed Tamale Mami, ordered from me, shared a post, told somebody about us, or simply cheered me on.

I feel incredibly lucky to have people in my corner.

Thank you, Total Wireless, for seeing Tamale Mami and giving me this opportunity. And thank you to everyone who has helped me get here.

I’m just really, really grateful. 🫔❤️

OKAYYYY… WE MADE A BOWL. 👀🫔

Introducing the Tamale Mami Tamale Bowl! 🥹🔥

We start with rice and beans, add fresh lettuce, then your Tamale Mami tamale, salsa, all the good toppings, avocado and CHEESE on top.

And yes… I had to take the first bite myself. 😂

Because if Mami doesn’t approve, it doesn’t leave the kitchen! 💅🏽

This is basically everything you love about Tamale Mami… layered into one BIG, beautiful bowl.

Classic tamale or fusion tamale? Which one are you putting in yours? 🫔👇🏽
