Our History

At Supreme Tamale, we’ve dedicated the last 70 years to supplying stores, restaurants and individuals with our tasty tamales. We are best known for The Chicago Tamale™—our recipe was introduced to the community in 1950 when hot dog vendors sold it out of their carts. Since then, the carts have morphed into hot dog stands, and the tradition of The Chicago Tamale™ continues to live on.
