The family behind Cocina de Tamales
about us

A TRADITION OF FLAVOR

Cocina de Tamales proudly serves authentic Mexican food throughout San Diego County. From traditional meat tamales to vegan and gluten-free options, every recipe is made with quality ingredients and generations of tradition.

We started bringing tamales to farmers markets across San Diego and grew into a Vista storefront where our community can enjoy breakfast, champurrado, aguas frescas, and the warmth of food made by hand.
