Founders & Head Chefs

Tamal Express is a family-run restaurant built from the ground up by a dedicated couple. They brought their love for traditional Mexican cooking from their family kitchen to the community. While their son helps manage the day-to-day operations, the true heart of the business lies with the founders. They pour their passion into every plate, serving the community one delicious meal at a time.
