🌮 20 YEARS IN THE MAKING — WE'RE COMING HOME! 🌮
For over 20 years, Agave Tamale has been home to THE Cajun Beef Tamale — a Lake Charles original. After Hurricane Laura took our roof, we've spent the last several years on the move... but we never stopped making tamales, and we never stopped dreaming of a home to call our own again.

That dream is officially real. 🙌

📍 Opening Monday, July 20th at our brand new brick-and-mortar location — 127 W College Street, right next to Darrell's Poboys — inside Gulf Coast Meat & Seafood Co., Lake Charles' newest meat and seafood market!

Now you can grab your favorite Cajun Beef Tamales while shopping fresh Gulf seafood, hand-cut meats, boudin, cracklins, and other house-made specialties — all under one roof.
Same tamale. Same tradition. Finally, a home again. 🏠

Mark your calendars — July 20th. See you there, Lake Charles! 🔥

2 local brands coming together!!!!
