In the late 1950s, Maria Martinez learned the traditional way of cooking tamales while growing up in Nuevo Leon, Mexico. She then perfected the recipe and began selling them from a small stand in Wisconsin. Twenty years later, the family business moved to San Antonio, Texas but it was sold to an uncle in the 1990’s. However, the Martinez family still continues to hand-make tamales from the finest ingredients using Maria’s recipe. To date, Rancho Martinez continues the legacy of a family-owned and operated small business that provides exceptional tamales and whole wheat tortillas to Waco and the entire Central Texas Region. Indeed, “these are the best tamales” in Waco. It is very authentic and flavorful – something you don’t want to miss. They currently sell in Waco Downtown Farmer’s Market and Texas Farmers Market at Lakeline Mall all-year-round. You may also order online for your convenience.
