"At a North Oakland tamale window Tamaleria Azteca expects to sell 7,000 tamales for Christmas Eve and Day; the business has operated in one form or another for the last 25 years and is most recently owned by Sergio Gomez, a fourth-generation tamale maker who bought it in 2003. He says his kids don’t want to continue in his footsteps, so “you should get [his tamales] while you can.”" - Eve Batey
