Best Yakima Valley Mexican Food Spots Feature Tamales, Tacos, and Locally Sourced Ingredients - Eater Seattle
"Felipe Hernández’s family migrated to the U.S. from Piedras Negras in Coahuila, Mexico. Their Union Gap tamales shop opened in 1990, and its second location debuted in Yakima in February 2019. Los Hernández’s chicken and pork tamales, made with cornmeal cooked and ground in-house, attract customers from around the region and beyond. The James Beard America’s Classics award the restaurant received in 2018 has only increased the excitement and the foot traffic. The shop’s asparagus and pepper jack tamales make their highly anticipated debut each spring with the harvest and usually last until July." - Kelly Knickerbocker
