See the delivery areaHow it works
Ordering takes three minutes. The cooking takes us all morning.
Everything starts in our Plano kitchen the morning it goes out. The masa is mixed fresh, the pork and chicken are slow-cooked, the chiles are toasted, and every tamal is wrapped by hand. We are not a restaurant, so there is no dining room, no waiting list, and no one but us cooking your food.
Every order, from a half dozen to dozens for a group, goes through our online store: pick chicken or pork, half dozen or dozen, delivery or pickup, today or a date ahead, and pay online. Questions? Call or text (469) 888-8398.

Why people order twice
What makes a Maggie’s tamal different
Meat first, masa second
Chicken breast and slow-cooked pork fill the husk. Reviewers call them “huge” and “packed with meat” because they are.
Gluten-free masa, 100% natural
No shortcuts, no fillers. The finest meats and chiles in Texas, and now and then a specialty chile that came up from Mexico in grandpa’s suitcase.
Family recipes, a family kitchen
Recipes passed down from the women in our family, cooked the way they cooked: with patience, in the spirit of Like Water for Chocolate.

Best tamales I’ve ever eaten!!! No joke. Chicken tamales - clean, not greasy at all, amazing (not too much) masa, and lots of chicken breast meat (no fat) and a really nice green tomatillo flavor. My family loves tamales- we will be eating these!!!!Rebecca Herrera

Holiday tamales
Thanksgiving and Christmas dozens sell out early.
In Texas, tamales are the holiday. Order your dozens for Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve and New Year for a date ahead in our online store before the calendar fills, for delivery or pickup.
The cook
Meet Chef Maggie
Maggie learned tamales the way most people do: standing at a counter next to her mother and grandmother, spreading masa on husks until her arms hurt. The difference is that she never stopped. Today her Plano kitchen makes the same tamales for offices, weddings and holiday tables across North Dallas, and she still reads every order herself.
