"[Tamales Lilianas] is named for the founder’s daughter, because he’d originally sold tamales at a bakery when he first came to America with his cousin. They opened a little stand and wanted to sell them on weekends but the demand outgrew that within no time. By the time he had enough capital to open his own store, he had two children. It was probably more romantic to name it Tamales Liliana’s than Tamales Carlos [his son’s name]. His daughter told me this story, and she has a two-year-old daughter also named Liliana." - Tim Chester
