Pork tamales in red salsa
Slow-cooked pork in a red chile salsa, wrapped in our gluten-free masa. A little kick, a big filling, and the tamal most of our regulars order first.
What is in our pork tamal
The pork is cooked slowly until it pulls apart, then finished in a red salsa made from dried chiles. That salsa is where the flavor and the gentle heat come from: noticeable, never harsh.
The masa is gluten-free corn masa, spread thin so the filling, not the dough, is the point. Every tamal is wrapped in a corn husk and steamed the morning it goes out.
If you are feeding a group that includes children or people who avoid spice, pair the pork with our chicken tamales in green salsa, which are milder.
