¡Viva Tamales! - Tamale Cookoff y Fiesta :: Sunday, Sept 15, 2013 from 12-4pm


 

We are hosting a special event!

Come celebrate Mexican Independence Day in the garden at La Borinquena Mex-icatessen!

Oakland's food artisans will compete for the title of top masa in three categories -- meat, vegetarian/vegan, and wildcard. Come taste the diversity of tamale styles and flavors -- from Mexican to South American.

A ticket entitles you to a taste of all of the entries as well as a vote to choose who you think is Top Tamale! Read more about our competitors here

Author Ruben Llamas "Eye from the Edge" Book Signing
West Oakland comes to life as Llamas gives texture to its history with memories from his daily life as he depicts the area from pre-World War II through the 1960’s. His ascendancy from shopping cart boy to vice president of a drugstore chain is admirable and makes for a good read. 
 
Family Friendly!
