Menu 1 · Gluten-free

Gourmet Tamales Buffet

An authentic, hand-crafted feast celebrating Mexico's finest tradition.

Bring a touch of true culinary artistry to your event with our gluten-free Gourmet Tamales Buffet. We craft our signature tamales from 100% gluten-free, stone-ground corn masa, whipped until light, fluffy and melt-in-your-mouth tender. Hand-wrapped and gently steamed to lock in peak moisture and flavor, this interactive buffet is a comforting, deeply satisfying and inclusive dining experience all your guests can enjoy.

The gourmet tamal selection

  • Chicken in Green Salsa (Pollo en Salsa Verde): tender, hand-shredded chicken breast slow-simmered in a vibrant, tangy salsa of roasted tomatillos, fresh cilantro and mild green chilis.
  • Pork in Red Salsa (Puerco en Salsa Roja): succulent, juicy pork braised low and slow in a robust, smoky red salsa of toasted guajillo and ancho chilis.
  • Bell Pepper & Cheese (Rajas con Queso): vibrant strips of fire-roasted bell peppers with premium, creamy melting cheese tucked into a velvety pocket of savory masa. Vegetarian.

The perfect companions (included sides)

  • Traditional Mexican Rice: fluffy, aromatic long-grain rice infused with vine-ripened tomatoes, garlic and rich chicken broth.

Menu 2

Gourmet Pozole Soup Buffet

A timeless Mexican celebration in every bowl.

Historically reserved for grand celebrations and important holidays, this hearty pre-Hispanic stew is a magnificent all-in-one feast. Our pozole is built on a deeply complex, slow-simmered red broth infused with mild guajillo chilis, aromatic herbs and plump, tender hominy corn. Guests craft their own perfect bowl at the garnishing station, layering vibrant colors, fresh textures and bright flavors over a comforting, slow-cooked foundation.

The foundation (choose your protein)

  • Slow-Braised Pork: succulent, melt-in-your-mouth pork shoulder, simmered for hours until it absorbs the rich, smoky essence of the guajillo broth.
