Small Business Saturday: Tamales from Heaven

January 27, 2024

Embark on a flavor-filled journey at Tamales From Heaven, a local treasure right here in Evans, CO, where tradition meets taste in the most delightful way!

With over 20 years of tamale-making expertise, Tamales From Heaven traces its roots back to a humble church fundraiser at Platteville Assembly. What started as a community effort, blossomed into a beloved local spot when they opened shop in Evans/Greeley in December 2009.

Specializing in pork tamales with red chile, Tamales From Heaven offers a diverse menu catering to various palates. What sets them apart is not just the quality of flavor, but also their commitment to affordability, making it the go-to place for families looking to savor something special without breaking the bank.

The story behind their culinary journey adds an extra layer of charm. When the cooks first started making tamales, they faced challenges. In a moment of financial struggle for the church, they turned to making tamales with only a vague idea of the process. After numerous failed attempts, they turned to prayer. Miraculously, the recipe they prayed for not only worked, but became the foundation of the flavorsome tamales they continue to serve today.

Just like manna from heaven, these tamales became a source of sustenance, helping the church in times of need. The name "Tamales From Heaven" not only reflects the divine origin of their recipe but also the role these heavenly delights played in supporting their community.

Tamales from Heaven is conveniently located at 3219 23rd Ave. in Evans, CO, just one block south of Walmart and next door to Dollartree. Come on by to try some authentic tamales that have been a local favorite for years!
