These tamales were just terrific. Much better than most restaurants and so simple to prepare. Truly fresh and homemade tasting. We thought the verde sauce was great and then we tried the bomb mole - will reorder again and again.

My granddaughter absolutely loved cootie Brown’s pumpkin pie cheesecake! I had it shipped up north to her, as she is working on her art masters and teaching college there! She served it at her birthday party Saturday! She said it was to die for! Pumpkin carving was also featured at the party! What fun!

Smoothest order ever! Our tamales arrived on time and when we sampled them the next day......LOVED THEM! My original thought was to have them as a crowd pleaser on Thanksgiving. But now, I'm not sure there will be any left. We ordered another batch as a Thanksgiving gift for relatives within 48 hours.
