About Us
Old World Meets New
Rooted in family tradition, crafted with love, and always gluten-free.
Our Inspiration
Hermelinda Martinez
Our inspiration for tamales comes from our Grandmother who owned and operated a tortilla business in Mexico for over 10 years. Developing her own unique way of making masa, her tortillas were hailed as the best in the area.
Her knowledge of masa evolved into working with tamales, opening up a whole new world of possibilities. Fortunately, recipes were saved.
Following in Grandma's pioneering footsteps, we continue her legacy by fusing her Old World style with a modern, healthy approach to Mexican cuisine. Old World meets New. Gracias Abuela!
Following in Grandma's pioneering footsteps, we continue her legacy — Old World meets New.
