Others said Mama had enchilada sauce in her blood. Some even attest to witnessing Mama turn avocados into guacamole with a snap of her fingers. These legends were justified: Mama had 12 children to raise, a house to maintain & a tamale tienda to grow. So as the demand for Mama s cooking increased, El Chico was born. Every now & then, you ll hear these stories about Mama. We ll leave it up to you to decide what s fact & what s legend. TAKE-OUT & CATERING The entire menu is available for take-out.
