Introduction: Our tamales are unique. These are a completely different and superior offering than any tamales we have ever found, and we compare them all. And we take our service and presentation to heart, serving our appetizers upon fresh banana leaves, making our fruit bouquets, salsas, side dishes and desserts delightful to the eye and to the taste. I love artistry in taste and presentation. I love parties. I understand the stress involved in throwing them, and I love to alleviate it by helping the host or hostess delight her guests.

I make an eco-friendly product called Plate-A-Cup and sometimes like to be at events where I know my plates will be used. I have worked alongside Erin at a few events and she has always been prepared and professional. I frequently observed people telling her how delicious her tamales were. I've tried a few myself and am impressed by the savory, as well as sweet, moist tamales that are available...I didn't know tamales could be made in such different, creative flavors. I was at a festival with her one time, and at one point her booth got so busy (even with two other staffs) I felt compelled to help out; which she kindly welcomed. Erin is one of those people that radiates warmth and kindness, so she makes people feel at ease; which is helpful when you are stressing over planning a party. She never makes you feel rushed and takes time out to learn about what her customers' needs are. I feel service is just as important as the product, and Erin no doubt reflects that.

Tamale Road makes the most delicious, authentic, handmade tamales I've ever tasted!! I was so pleased with the quality of the tamales and the service Erin gives is always top notch in professionalism and warmth. A must try for any event or family gathering and a definite crowd pleaser!

Erin's Tamales are the most incredible tasting tamales. I especially prefer her beef and chicken tamales. I've been to so many events and parties in which they were the focal point of discussion. Love those Tamales!

Erin's tamale's are oout of this world. My wife and I have been running the Artistic License Fair for over 20 years, and Erin has catered it for probably 10 of them. I honestly believe that some people come back each year as much for her food as for the artwork in our fair. But Erin's food is just the beginning. Her booth is beautiful. Her staff is friendly. And she is the kindest, brightest, and most generous server we have ever worked with.

One of the best catering experiences I've ever had! The food was fantastic, the staff was friendly, and they were so easy to work with! There was an attention to detail that I had seen from other caterers, definitely a notch above!

FAQs

  • How did you get started doing this type of work?

    I learned the love of cooking from (whom else) my mother. I remember as a five year old, being fascinated with Japanese cuisine. I remember when Guacamole was avant guard! My mother and I catered an Indonesian feast once. We have always been fascinated with the latest trends, which so often are to be found in obscure ethnic foods. We pride ourselves in being ahead of the crowd, because we're adventurous eaters!

  • Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?

    We recently set up shop as a Food Vendor for a beautiful art festival in Costa Mesa, the Artistic License Fair. We have provided all the food for this beautiful two day event for the past seven years running. The artists and art shoppers have come to expect our tamales, drinks, and desserts, but we also bring other foods to cater to the artists. For example, we bring eggs and artisan breads, and make them eggs and toast for their breakfast as they set up their booths. They often reward us with small art pieces of which we have a lovely collection building!

  • What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?

    I wish they knew about all the care that we put into their meals. From the shopping and selection of ingredients, to the cooking of the dishes, transport, delivery, presentation, service, and breakdown. We delight in seeing the event go smoothly, and seeing the guests pleased and impressed. That's what makes it all worthwhile to us. Happy customers.
