On the 2nd of February, Mexico celebrates Candelaria Day, a mix of traditions. On the religious side, from Spain, it is deemed as a reminder of the Biblical passage that recounts when baby Jesus was presented at the Temple of Jerusalem, and the purification of Virgin Mary after giving birth.<\/p>\n

Traditionally, whoever finds the child in the Rosca de Reyes<\/em> throws a party and offers tamales and atole. Prehispanic in origin, residents of many towns take corncobs to church to be blessed, and thus commence the agricultural cycle on the 2nd of February, the first month in the ancient Aztec calendar, when a variety of gods were worshipped. This is why we eat tamales, made of corn with a variety of fillings, a highly significant Prehispanic food in Mexican cuisine.<\/p>\n

If you were one of the \u201clucky few\u201d and found the doll in the Rosca de Reyes, don\u2019t worry, here are five options where to purchase tamales, and be known as a great host.<\/p>\n

Tamalli<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tamalli offers an innovative and nutritious gastronomic experience that captivates the guests\u2019 senses with delicate and traditional flavors. At this store you\u2019ll find traditional tamales, such as green and Oaxaca. Or rather, venture into trying their more gourmet offerings with unique ingredients, such as cuitlacoche, chiplin Chiapas, or raspberries and ricotta. If you are searching for a healthier option, you\u2019ll love Tamalli, as they have a healthy line offering nopal and cheese, beans and cheese, and vegan tamales.

This restaurant offers more gourmet versions of tamales, with combinations and flavors you won\u2019t usually find at other establishments. Our favorites are the Ratatouille with vegetables; and the Roma with goat cheese, black olives and sweet peppers.
