El Padrino's tamales are crafted using time-honored Central American techniques that have been perfected
over generations. We start with fresh masa harina, carefully seasoned and whipped to the perfect consistency
with rich chicken broth and lard for authentic flavor and texture. Each tamal is filled with your choice of
tender, well-seasoned pork, chicken, or flavorful vegetables, then carefully wrapped in soaked corn husks.
The tamales are steamed for hours until the masa is tender and the flavors have melded together beautifully,
creating a comforting dish that's both satisfying and deeply flavorful.
What makes our tamales exceptional is our dedication to authenticity and quality. Every tamal is made by
hand, from preparing the masa to wrapping each one individually in corn husks. The filling is seasoned with
traditional spices and cooked until perfectly tender. We serve our tamales with Mexican crema for richness
and house-made salsa for a touch of heat and acidity. Whether you're familiar with tamales from childhood
or trying them for the first time, you'll appreciate the care, skill, and tradition that goes into every
single tamal we serve. This is comfort food at its finest – warm, satisfying, and full of authentic flavor.
