Here is the menu - please be aware tamales will be very limited in supply (we were scheduled to prep more tonight but when Diane calls… you go!)

This is our Lake St. Menu - please note, event/popup menus are a separate menu, with their own pricing.

We will have the Chorizo, Egg, & Cheese tamale beginning Thursday.
We will be open tomorrow, Thurs and Fri 9-2pm

If you are thinking to get a few dozen at any time, it is highly recommended to preorder a day or two ahead.

This beautiful butterfly has been hanging out with me all day in the trolley.

It is a Red Admiral (according to Google)

He just chilling and keeping me company.

What should I name him?

Gorgeous patio Sturdy Shelter Brewing

Check this new patio out!
Our friends Sturdy Shelter Brewing in Batavia just put this in and opened it today!!!!

Gorgeous river views
Outstanding beer
Great people

What else could you ask for???

We couldn’t wait another minute! Still a few things to add and the air quality isn’t ideal, but stop by for $5 Draft Brews and enjoy the river views! Cheers to Community and more to come! Open 2-9!

PS Dog friendly for friendly dogs on a leash! 😉

Traveling today for one of our many annual health inspections- we will be open tomorrow!

Did you know we go through a minimum of 3 health inspections every year?

DuPage, Kane, Kendall counties plus City of Aurora….
Each inspection costs anywhere from $100 -$600.

This is what allows TamalesPlus to travel around to so many different places.

It does get expensive and is just one of the many costs this type of business has.

I pay it gladly tho.

I am happy to say we are an inspected business, permitted and with all the appropriate equipment, sanitation practices, and so forth.

We may get messy during a rush, but the entire team works hard to clean it up, keep it clean, and work to serve those darn good tamales at the right temperature;)

Hanging out in the couch with Mr. Tony, snacking on saltines.

He holds one up, eyes it and then looks straight at me

“I just like crackers”

Big shout out to Tina Rico for putting together these awesome posts on our schedule!!!

Tina is my cousin in law - a few years ago she reached out to ask if she could help me with my FB posts. (Clearly not my strong point …)
She has done so much behind the scenes on posts, calendars, double checking dates and noticing errors or missing info.
I do not know how to adequately express the depth of my gratitude and love for her.

Thank you, Tina!!!!!
You have made a big difference in our success!

One day, one day - it’s gonna get rewarded properly.

Update:
Phone number has been corrected
Are we open today? YES, We are open!
In order to operate safely with the air quality today - here’s the plan:

You pull up.
You stay in your car (windows up) and call 630-276-0877 to place your order.

I will bring your order to you directly from the kitchen, conveniently located next door.

You enjoy piping hot tamales and great street corn!
Maybe an Agua Fresca de Jamaica

And I can keep myself and employees a bit safer.
BTW the AC is a little better in the kitchen, but it is still a kitchen.
Sweaty Betty lives on!

We are ALMOST to 2,200 followers! 2194 to be exact. I want to say a sincere and personal thank you to each one of you. Clearly, we are not social media pros or "influencers". We are just, well, ourselves. We hope you feel you can be the same with us.

Here's to changing the world, one tamal at a time.
