Christmas Tamale Tradition has Moved to Fort Myers

December is here and before we know it, it will be Christmas. Families will gather around and enjoy a holiday ham and make gingerbread houses with their little ones. However, Fort Myers movers have learned about a new Christmas tradition that is sweeping the west coast of Florida – tamales.

Tamales are a South American tradition, but since they take a lot of time and precision to make they are often only made on special occasions and holidays. You can think of the Christmas tamale tradition in much of the same respect as our holiday ham and gingerbread houses – they are a holiday specialty to share with our families. However, many South American countries celebrate Christmas on the 24th, so they eat tamales for breakfast on the 25th.

If you are moving to Fort Myers, local movers and residents were thrilled to hear about the new tradition that’s moved into town. Located in Bonita Springs, Tortilleria La Rancherita’s Guatemala native Monica Mendoza will be making 1,000 tamales for sale for those who live in Fort Myers and are looking to pick up some for Christmas morning. Mendoza will be making traditional tamales, as well as sweet tamales with cinnamon.

Fort Myers movers suggest picking up some tamales and starting a new Christmas breakfast tradition after moving to town, and you can find them at the following places:

Tortilleria La Rancherita

Gina’s Tamales

El Azteca

Taco Viva

Taquizza
