Love tamales?  Join us at A Taste of Tamales by the Bay, San Francisco’s third annual tamale tasting, Sunday, April 26th.  Sample many tamale styles from some of the finest tamale makers in Northern California including up-and-coming food artists supported by La Cocina Community Kitchen, and Claudia Lopez of The Tamal Factory, winner of People’s Choice Award.  Plan to buy your favorites to take home.

See how to make and serve tamales; learn about pairing tamales with wines from Reynoso Vineyards; sample Rancho Gordo's new world heirloom beans and Mrs. A's Famous Salsa Buena.  Watch the Bay Area’s hottest margarita gladiators battle to make the best margarita; share stories of your celebratory food traditions; and enter the Grand Raffle for unique and exciting prizes—all the while listening to Conjunto Jose Roberto’s live Latin rhythms.

This event benefits Benchmark Institute, a nonprofit organization that teaches advocates in nonprofits how to use the law to help low-income communities.
