A Black-owned cafe in Houston rolls out tamales combining Mexican and soul food traditions
The Spring resident launched Black Girl Tamales in September 2019, but Larkin jokes that she was her grandmother’s “little sous chef” rolling masa and stuffing corn husks with chicken or pork.
Black Girl Tamales is as much a nod to Larkin’s grandmother Rosa as it is about tamales combining Mexican and soul food traditions. The “Soul Food Tamale” of collard greens with smoked turkey, Creole sausage, jambalaya and boudin flavors are, as Larkin puts it, “a testament to staying true to who I am.”
It wasn’t until 2019 that Larkin said she considered focusing on tamales full-time. The demand during the pandemic picked up and for a few months, she eventually ran operations out of a commercial kitchen.
