"Technically a Sonoma-based company, spinning off from the legendary restaurant Molino Central, this Ferry Plaza Farmers Market mainstay serves outrageously popular tamales all year long. There are classic flavors, as well as renditions with more pizzazz like the roasted pumpkin and white cheddar tamale. The woman-owned business has more than 30 years of experience doing the damn thing; if you can’t make it to the Ferry Building, you can find a pack in numerous local grocery stores." - Becky Duffett, Eater Staff
