Tamales Are Back!

Cooler temperatures, a few fallen leaves, and the upcoming holiday season can mean only one thing here at Redlands Ranch Market…tamales are back! This traditional favorite is back in season and ready for purchase. So, work up your appetite and stock up on fresh authentic ingredients to make your favorite family tamale recipe. Short on time……..not to worry we have authentic handmade tamales ready to steam or fully cooked and ready to eat!

Tamales are a traditional Mesoamerican dish, having originated from modern-day Mexico. They are thought to have first been enjoyed by the Aztecs, tracing back to 7,000 BC. And so for generations, tamales have served as a favorite meal, portable snack, and the season’s choice food! So join in on the tradition and prepare for the holiday season with our authentic tamale ingredients and hand crafted tamales.

Tamales are made of masa, a corn-based dough, and typically filled with meat. Popular fillings include chicken, pork, and beef. However, there are many variations of the meal. Sometimes, olives, dried fruits, and vegetables are added for a new flavor. No matter how you make your tamales, however, we at Redlands Ranch Market have you covered! Stop by for masa, dried chilis, husks, spices, and meat!

The Difference is in the Masa:

With our authentic, whole, and minimally-processed ingredients, our tamales are superior in taste. While most tortillas and masa today are made with processed corn flour called maseca, we believe in using whole ingredients to create fresh and authentic flavors. That’s why we devote time to the long and laborious process of cooking, grinding, and mixing fresh corn for all of our tortillas and tamales. This is the essential difference in all that we have to offer this tamale season. You can be sure that with our products, your tamales will be fresh and authentically delicious..

Ways to purchase:

For your tamale-making events, we can supply your masa and other ingredients. And if you’d rather buy our authentic hand crafted tamales, visit our cocina! Choose from tamales prepared to steam at home or ones that are fully cooked and ready to eat. For your family occasion, we recommend pre-ordering our steam-at-home tamales as we always experience an influx of tamale demands near the holidays.

About Us

Redlands Ranch Market, unknown to me for far too long, has become my go-to shopping spot for all of my grocery needs. I recently moved to the area from Portland, Oregon, where it’s hard to go more than a couple of miles without seeing an international market of some sort. I was a regular at more than one of them because none of them seemed to have it all. Once I moved to the area, it took me a couple of months to find Ranch Market but they really have it all! It’s not just the place I go for international foods; I can do all of my grocery shopping at Redlands Ranch Market, which is a rarity at an International Market. And the Cocina in the back of the store is hard to beat.

Redlands Ranch Market always offers high-quality food at low prices. I particularly love the variety of Mexican dishes that they offer. These are freshly made in their very own kitchen. And all the items on the menu come with a fair price. There are also Weekly Mexican Kitchen Specials. These always keep me coming back to Redlands Ranch Market for their signature items without hesitation. Additionally, people who work at Redlands Ranch Market are very friendly and helpful. Their excellent service has a significant impact on my shopping experience. When I often find myself confused about certain products, the staff is always happy to help me and answer my questions with great patience.

I have been a shopper at Red lands Ranch Market for years. But there are a few things that keep me coming back. First, I’m crazy about their fresh produce, sold at an amazing price. When I shop at any other market, I am always mentally comparing their prices against Red lands Ranch Market, and no one comes close in savings. Another aspect that keeps me coming back is their bakery. It is hard to find such delicious and diverse desserts. My favorite is the flan. I’ve never gone shopping there and not walked out with a serving of flan. It's sweet, creamy, and smooth texture is perfect. Recently, they’ve added bulk bins, and I’ve found some amazing savings on grains and teas.

As a family man, it is important for me to provide my family with good food at a reasonable price. At the Ranch Market, we can enjoy a wide variety of fruits and vegetables, as well as hard-to-find fruits and vegetables for our healthy lifestyle. That is the main reason we shop at the Ranch Market. We also love the great juice bar, the really cool tortillaria, and the restaurant inside the store serves up great, hot, Mexican food style meals.

At my house, we take our tortillas seriously. They serve as great packaging for on-the-go meals, can be rolled, wrapped, and folded in any way you please and are an asset to our daily breakfast burritos. So when my husband and I moved to California, we dreamed of the day that we’d find our “tortilla guy.” And it was in the corner of Red lands Ranch Market, where we found the stacks of tortillas that would mark our newfound tortilleria! This glorious discovery helped make our new home more familiar and seemed representative of our establishment here. This all may sound silly, but this truly was a rare find. And I promise these tortillas are better and fresher than those you’ll see on the shelves.
