In our New Mexican family, Thanksgiving was never just turkey and stuffing. 🦃

Alongside the traditional spread, we always added Nana’s Tamales and a warm pot of green chile stew with tender potatoes and pork, plus a savory red chile with tender chunks of beef.

It’s not Thanksgiving in a New Mexico home without those comforting, flavorful chiles and tamales that make our table feel like home. 🏡

This year, why not start a new tradition? 🫔♥️

We’re now taking orders!

Text your order to 951-337-8814, and you can easily pay with Apple Pay or Zelle.

Bring a taste of Nana’s to your Thanksgiving and give your family even more reasons to smile. 🫔

From Roswell, with Christmas Love: A New Mexico Tamale Tradition ♥️🌶️🫔

The holiday season always brings me back to Roswell, New Mexico, where my mom and her family would gather around to make Christmas tamales—a beautiful blend of New Mexico green chile and red chile. 🌶️💚🎄

Known as “Christmas Style,” this special mix brings together the bold, earthy heat of red chile with the vibrant, fresh kick of green chile, creating a tamale that’s as colorful and joyful as the season itself. 🎄♥️🌶️💚

Each tamale we make honors this family tradition, a legacy of true New Mexico flavors, love, and togetherness that’s been passed down for generations. ♥️💚

This holiday season, we invite you to join us in celebrating New Mexico’s unique flavors, wrapped in every tamale and filled with the spirit of Christmas. 🎄

Preorder yours today or stop by and see what we have for the day or moment 😉👩🏻‍🍳👍🏼

Tamales sell at $14.99 per lb 🫔

No orders in December so order now because they freeze exceptionally well 1-2 years.

At Nana’s Tamales, we blend creativity and quality into every tamale. All our tamales are ARTISAN ♥️

Here’s what makes our tamales stand out besides our experience :

• Guided by Two Key Principles: Our team focuses on two main factors—equal parts of our award-winning masa and fillings, and working with speed and precision.

• Freedom to Create: We give our team the freedom to shape each tamale to their preference, whether slightly larger or smaller, making every tamale unique.

• Why We Weigh: Like your favorite meat markets and See’s Candies, we weigh our tamales to ensure you get what you pay for.

Each dozen is carefully measured to provide about 4 pounds, ensuring generous portions every time. 🫔

• A Generous Batch:
Because sizes vary with handmade tamales, each dozen may contain 12 to 14 tamales, depending on the size.

Every tamale is crafted with New Mexico love, just the way we’d want to enjoy them ourselves!

What you think I’m making ? ♥️🎃

Good morning Sunshines ✨

We are at Old Town Temecula Farmers' Market now till 12:30

Restaurant hours 11-4pm

And It’s a pink thang event 🎀
5-10pm 🙏🏻

I’m feeling better 🙌

When I was a little girl, one of my greatest joys was slipping into my mom’s high heels, putting on a bit (a lot) of makeup, and pretending to be glamorous. 💄👠

My mom would watch with a smile, even though I was only nine, with strict rules about makeup being for “play” and only at home. 🙄

I’d brush and curl her hair, do her nails, and try my best to add mascara and a touch of lipstick, creating my own little beauty rituals. I loved making her and my aunts up; to me, they became queens 👑 in that moment.

But it wasn’t just the makeup—it was how they looked at themselves after. Their eyes lit up, their shoulders lifted, and I could see a spark in them that felt like a little bit of magic. ✨✨✨✨

Now, as the holidays approach, I feel the same calling to bring that feeling back to women who truly need it. I think about the incredible women around us who often put everyone else first—mothers who sacrifice for their kids, women rebuilding after loss or heartbreak, those in recovery who are learning to love themselves all over again.

They give so much of themselves that there’s often nothing left at the end of the day. Little things—like a trip to the salon, a fresh haircut, or new makeup—are luxuries that many can’t fit into their lives, yet these things can mean the world. 🫶🏽

We all need a reminder of our beauty and worth from time to time, something to refill our cups and make us feel whole.♥️

This year, I’m giving away one special Nana’s Holiday Makeover for a woman who deserves to be seen, celebrated, and cherished👑

I want to hear from you—who in your life could use this? Whether she’s the heart of her family, someone who uplifts others around her, or simply a woman who has held her head high through difficult times, tell me her story. 👑

Share why she means so much to you. ♥️✍️

Along with our grand winner, two other women will receive surprise gifts to add a little extra light to their season. 🎁

If my mom were still here, she’d be my first pick. She was widowed at 27, raising three kids on her own, with hardly a penny to spare. Even so, with just a box of hair dye and a simple red eyeliner pencil, she’d transform, a smile that would light any room, showing that inner beauty she carried with her. She deserved to feel like a queen, and I think all women do, too. 🥹

Please email your nomination to [email protected] with her story and your details.

Let’s come together this holiday season to lift up a deserving woman and remind her how beautiful and valued she truly is. Exactly as she is 👑✨🦋♥️

With much love and light,
Michelle, Chef Nana 👩🏻‍🍳

Deadline to nominate is December 10th. Please be sure your nomination and you will be around during December 15-20th. If selected you’ll be reading why you chose her 🙏🏻🫶🏽♥️ and share let’s take this viral !! As long as she’s in the inland empire! 👍🏼 willing and drivable here to Temecula.

“Hello friends! 🌟 Remember my post about giving Holiday Makeovers to uplift women in recovery whether from substance, death of a loved one, or recently starting over?

Well, the gifts are starting to flow in, so THANK YOU because we’re ready to make some magic happen! We’ll be selecting one inspiring woman for a full hair and beauty transformation and two others to receive amazing gifts and goodies, all to help them feel loved and celebrated. 👑

But I still need more hands and hearts! If you’re a pro in facials, hair, makeup, fitness, or anything that empowers women, nutrition, please join us. 🦋🙏🏻

Giving back lights me up, and together, we can make a huge difference. If you’ve reached out before, tag yourself here so I can connect with you!

Let’s sow generosity, spread joy, and make these women feel the love. It’s a beautiful way for your business to shine, and remember, what we give always comes back to us. 🌈✨ ” thank you

When you’re young and still carrying wounds you haven’t faced, you often attract people who reflect those unhealed parts of you. 🥺

But as you mature and heal the deepest places within, your desires shift. What once drew you in no longer holds the same appeal, because you’ve outgrown it. And there’s no going back to who you once were. 🙏🏻

This transformation ✨ —this evolution—this spiritual awakening is so beautiful.

It’s a sign of growth, self-love, and becoming the person you were always meant to be. 🦋✨👑

Michelle Nazario Montoya, known as Chef Nana, is Temecula’s Tamale Queen, with a legacy dating back to 2007. A people’s choice favorite, she has been featured on Fox 11 and was the proud winner of The Golden Dish, where she triumphed over two New York chefs. Michelle has earned multiple awards, including prestigious recognition in Fort Worth, Texas. 🤠 👍🏼🫶🏽

One of her greatest achievements has been realizing her vision of becoming “World Famous” while RAISING the bar on what an authentic New Mexican tamale should be—of course, made with New Mexico chiles, always. Her tamales are gourmet, artisan, sweet, meaty, vegan, moist, and bursting with flavor.

For Michelle, making tamales is truly a labor of love—a four-day process that can’t be rushed. The love and energy behind each tamale must be perfectly aligned, ensuring every bite reflects the care and tradition that go into their creation. ♥️🫔🙏🏻

Michelle has not only set the standard high for tamale quality but also revolutionized pricing, recognizing the laborious, priceless work that goes into each batch. 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

She values the women 👑 who work alongside her and ensures they are fairly compensated for their dedication, especially in California’s high cost of living.

Through her leadership, she challenges others to elevate their craftsmanship, put pride into their work, and aspire to excellence in every tamale they create. 🤛🏼😘

To my loyal clients,
Thank you all so much for your continued support and referrals! I truly appreciate every tag, shout-out, and recommendation on social media—it means the world to me. ♥️🙏🏻🎃✨🦃✨🎄✨🫔♥️

As we gear up for the 2024 tamale season, I want you to know that I’m super focused on making it the best season yet. So if I don’t see or respond to a post, please know how much I appreciate it. ♥️

Honestly, many people have never had the pleasure of experiencing a truly authentic, fresh, moist, high-quality tamale. I care what goes into my foods. My customers and clients appreciate the difference—they can taste it right away. It’s like comparing Walmart to Macy’s; the quality speaks for itself. You get what you pay for, and I’m proud of the quality, experience, diligence and value I offer. I’m 5 ⭐️ award winning by the people and that’s not by mistake. This is not “holiday money” to me. I don’t get caught up in the holiday rush or focus on those who might not understand or afford it, and that’s perfectly fine with me. I’m a Woman on a Mission ✨♥️🙏🏻🫔 this is way beyond tamales 🫔 🫔🫔🫔
