Since day one

Our Story

A family table
at the heart
of Eagle Pass.

Tamales De Acelga Arlet has been a quiet fixture on Eidson Road — the kind of place where neighbors come for the tamales and stay because they taste like someone's mother made them. Which, in this case, is literally true.

Every tamal is hand-rolled. Every batch of acelga (chard) filling is prepared fresh. Our bakery cases fill up before noon because we don't do shortcuts — we do tradition, the way it's supposed to be.
