At Tamale's Industry we make the best tamales in Iowa. We also make authentic Mexican food. If you want to experience a real Mexican restaurant, with a real Mexican cook who has years of experience, and real Mexican food, then come to Tamale's Industry. Everything we make is fresh to eat. All you have to do is wait a little bit and we'll make everything ready to eat. When you come in, expect a nic

e greeting from the manager or the waiter. They'll sit you down and talk with you a little. Once you take your order, the cook will prepare your delicious meal. After the cook is done, they'll bring your food out to you and then you can enjoy the authentic Mexican food.

‼️‼️To our valued customers‼️‼️

This message is a bit hard to write.

After much thought and reflection, today will be our last day serving food at our current location. What started as a small dream inside the Merle Hay Mall food court grew into 12 unforgettable years—years filled with long days, hard work, laughter, and most importantly, the relationships we built with all of you.

You were never just customers to us. You became part of our story, part of our family. Every visit, every order, every kind word meant more than you’ll ever know.

Today is your last chance to visit us here. If we’ve ever been a part of your day, your lunch break, or your family moments—come see us one last time. Let us serve you, thank you in person, and close this chapter together. It would truly mean everything to us.

While this chapter is coming to a close, our journey is far from over. Over the next week, we’ll be behind the scenes preparing tamales for the Farmer’s Market, with our first date on May 2. At the same time, we’re putting our hearts into getting our food trailer fully up and running.

This transition hasn’t been easy, but it’s one we’re embracing with hope and determination. We’re excited to share that we’re anticipating a soft opening sometime in May—something new, something built from the same love and passion you’ve supported all these years.

—From my mom, the heart and hands behind every plate:
“Thank you with all my heart for everything. You have made a dream continue to live. Thank you.”

And from me—thank you for standing by us, for believing in us, and for allowing us to be a part of your lives for the past 12 years. We carry your support with us into this next chapter, and we truly hope to continue serving you for many more years to come.

With gratitude,
🩵Tamales Industry
