Becerra's Tex-Mex true to our Mexican-Tejano Heritage
Becerra Brand of Tex-Mex Tamales began in 2012 in University Park, Texas; to continue the legacy of our Tejano heritage. In 1963, Bacilio & Candida Becerra originated Becerra’s Tortillas in Bryan, and shortly thereafter, EL Zarape Mexican Restaurant in College Station, Texas, just east of the Texas A&M University campus. At that same time in Bryan, their micro-production facility was producing tamale & corn tortillas through the process of raw corn (nixtamalization), nixtamalized masa, and at that time, pork head tamales.
In 2001, after a devastating fire, the Becerras decided to close their doors. Then in 2011, their grandson decided to resurrect the business after perfecting a few recipes reminiscent of the family's recipes. During the first 2 years, Becerras garnered 1st and 3rd place Judge's Selection in Texas' largest hot sauce festival - The Austin Chronicle's Hot Sauce Festival. Becerras is also an anchor vendor at The Saint Michael's Market in University Park, Dallas offering products directly to consumers where they have participated for 12 years. Currently producing three bottled salsas: a signature SERRANO BOSS SAUCE and 7 different handmade small-batch tamales. Becerra's Tex-Mex Tamales prides itself on being a high-quality small-batch operation with our primary focus on quality with high-quality cuts of beef, poultry, pork, vegetables, and regional Tex-Mex seasonings. Becerra's Tex-Mex Tamales strives to provide you with the absolute best in every tamale and salsa we produce. Once you try Becerra's handmade products you’ll experience why Becerra's Tex-Mex Tamales is Dallas' small-batch Tamale & Salsa experts.

How to reheat our tamales
What we recommend: a stovetop steam pot, Instant Pot or equivalent, fill the pot with 2 to 3 cups of water (depending on the depth and capacity of the pot), 2 to 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil, or olive oil. Fire up the stove to bring the water to a boil to create steam. Once the water is steaming, place the frozen or refrigerated tamales in the basket. In a separate small stockpot, combine 2 cups of water and 1 tablespoon of cooking oil and bring to a medium heat temperature while the steam pot is heating up. Use this water to ladle over the tamales while they are steaming. The corn husk will absorb the water and keep the masa soft. The time needed to reheat will vary, use your best judgment. Check them often to reach the desired readiness. Remove and enjoy with your favorite Becerra's Tex-Mex Salsa & cold beverage!
