Please join us for La Tamalada on Sunday, February 5th from 11am-4pm.
La Tamalada is exactly like it sounds — a celebration of tamales! The event features 10 local latino street vendors selling their tamales. We have partnered with some amazing street vendors, and we can't wait to share their tamale-making gift with you. The vendors will be keeping 100% of their profits.
At 3pm there will be a tamale contest featuring a few of our favorite local food industry professionals as judges. Chef Eli Kulp and Chef Jennifer Zavala from our 7 Moles dinner are two of them — stay tuned, we'll be announcing more big names soon! Awards will be given out to the top street vendor participants.
Specialty drinks from Cantina la Martina will be available throughout the event.
Additionally, we're donating 10% of our sales throughout the day to a local Kensington school.
Our mission for La Tamalada is to promote small latino entrepreneurs in our community while celebrating La Candelaria, a Mexican celebration of the official closure to the holiday season. It is also ‘payback day’ for those who found a figurine in their portion of the Day of Kings cake (January 6): this person is obligated to host a party of atole and tamales for all their family and friends.
We’ve turned that party amongst family and friends into a big celebration, and we’re inviting the entire community!
Please bring cash to purchase your tamales from the street vendors (we have an ATM if needed).
This event will take place outside in our heated tent. Regular brunch service will be available inside the restaurant.
We hope to see you there!
