Teresa’s Story

Teresa grew up in a small village in southern Mexico and left home on her own as a child to work in Mexico City.

The monarch butterfly in the logo symbolizes Teresa’s story: one of personal growth with beauty and grace. The monarch butterfly represents change, transformation and new opportunities.

Teresa has been feeding Kalamazoo for 12 years. On Thursdays she begins cooking at 4:30am, packing her cooler full of hot and delicious tamales and delivers to her customers at a lunch time.

After years of people asking when she was opening a restaurant, she finally saved enough to start her food truck and catering business to serve the greater community!
