Coming soon to The Kitchen Station

Tuesday, January 06, 2015 - The Story: I never planned on going back into the restaurant business, being that I had a restaurant in Texas, and I felt my kids needed me more since they were very little at the time, however I DID know cooking was a part of me and in my soul through my Nana and my Mother, who have both passed away. I simply LOVE cooking and I'm ext

remely PASSIONATE about New Mexico Style Food. I don't claim to know everything, however the things I do cook I know WELL! And that's the foods my Mother, Rita taught me. Flavors of New Mexico like when she was a little girl in Roswell, with a family of 15 siblings. I remember being a little girl, my Dad had passed away and it was only my Mom and my 2 siblings, and the school bus would leave me off, on the next block, and I could SMELL her cooking all the way home. I'd be soooo hungry I'd come running... it was her way of showing us LOVE. We didn't have much materially, however we had a Mother who LOVED us, and I knew she put her heart into everything she made for us. So fast forward.... I've been here in Temecula as Realtor (been licensed since 1992) and it's the only job that worked well for me being a Mother of 7, yes 7... so I got back into the Real Estate Business here, and I didn't have much to offer anyone as far as thanking them when I first started, EXCEPT for my love and appreciation. In example: in Real Estate I expressed my THANK YOU by giving them tamale dinners, or by catering their house warming party at close of escrow... for my kids teachers at school...as a THANK YOU for teaching my children, I appreciate YOU, for church functions and events...a lot of times for PEOPLE OFF THE STREETS ASKING FOR MONEY... I'D GIVE THEM my FOOD... NO ONE SHOULD BE HUNGRY, AND EVERYONE DESERVES THE BEST DARN TAMALES EVER! I wanted to make everyone smile with my Mom's cooking that I enjoyed growing up! I just gave from my heart the only thing I knew would make them smile... my food because it's what my Mother gave when she had nothing to give but her LOVE when someone would come hungry at her door. So time and time again when the word Tamales came up, my friends and clients would refer me, next thing you know it... I'm all over Temecula Talks raving fans and wonderful sincere reviews, being referred over and over, my name in head lights and ultimately getting reported to E.Health.... amazing on one hand and not so good on the other which is when I knew there was NO WAY TO STOP. I was so grateful to E.H for getting an anonymous tip that I was not permitted to be giving my tamales away to the public or taking orders and as much as my clients, fans and friends thought they were doing good, I got cited. I wasn't doing it for money, anyone who makes tamales, even the NOT SO GOOD ONE'S knows there is NO profit in Tamales, alone! A blessing in disguise, it lit a fire under my feet to NOT QUIT BECAUSE THINGS GET HARD or SOMEONE IS HATING ON ME, TRUST ME, THAT'S NOT THE FIRST TIME, LOL and TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM...GOD GIFTED ME WITH THIS TALENT, HE CAN ONLY TAKE IT AWAY, NO ONE ELSE CAN! SO I'M GETTING PERMITTED SO THAT ALL MY CLIENTS AND FANS CAN RAVE ABOUT ME ALL THEY WANT AND REFER ME TO WHOMEVER THEY WANT!!! I WILL START OFF SLOWLY BY USING A CATERING KITCHEN, GET MY CATERING PERMIT, SO I CAN SELL TO THE PUBLIC FREELY. Working around my schedule for my children DOING WHAT I LOVE TO DO.... COOK FOR YOU ALL! I hope to SEE you all on my GRAND OPENING in support of NANA'S TAMALES! MY MOTHER -NANA 2 WOULD BE SO PROUD! COMING REAL SOON (VALENTINE'S DAY-A DAY FULL OF LOVE, SOUNDS GOOD TO ME? Hmmm? )

I should have wrote this long ago… but I wanted to write the right words:

Here’s me with a special new friend I met at a wellness retreat hosted by Ron and Lisa in Newport Beach. From the moment I met Chef Mareya, I was drawn to her amazing energy! She’s not just a chef—she’s a fit foodie, a holistic nutritionist, and the founder of Grow Green Industries. She’s also the creator of hundreds of cooking videos and the host of the podcast Recipes for Your Best Life.

This petite powerhouse had her spices and cookbook at the retreat, and of course, I had to grab them all! It was truly inspiring to meet someone so vibrant, passionate, and accomplished. I can only pray to be like her one day! ♥️ Chef Mareya it was my pleasure! ✨👏🏼🫶🏽

This past week has been so full, and the weeks ahead promise to be even fuller. I’m incredibly grateful for that, but I wanted to share something personal with you all. My iphone is old and hanging on, and I simply haven’t had the time to upgrade it. To stay focused, I’ve deleted ALL of my social media apps from my phone for now besides I have no storage.

That means I won’t be online much, unless I’m at my desk—which, during this season, is rare.

If you need me, my number is out there, and of course, you can always reach me through the restaurant. Please don’t hesitate to text 951-337-8814 or stop by Nana’s Tamales. Just know I will be busy cooking, so no time to chat. 😘

I also want to take a moment to pray that each of you has a wonderful Christmas and New Year filled with love and joy.

I’m deeply sorry if you’ve reached out to me on social media and haven’t heard back—it’s simply because I don’t see messages in a timely manner if at all, and I’m very focused on the blessings and busyness that come with the holiday season. 🎄🫔♥️✨🎄✝️

To my incredible community: thank you for your continued support and loyalty. I feel it every single day, and it means the world to me. I hope to see you soon—this month or in the new year. Sending so much love and gratitude your way. ❤️

Now let me focus on making you the best damn tamales out there for all your families ♥️✨☕️👩🏻‍🍳
Love you all ❤️

In January so many changes~ so stay tuned ✨✨✨🙏🏻

It’s hard to put into words how much I love and appreciate my customers. Every day, they remind me why I pour my heart into what I do.♥️♥️♥️

Today, Elsa came in. She walks with a cane and told me the bus dropped her off several blocks away. She said, “I needed to get to you before you sold out or closed, so I walked.” 🥹

Hearing that humbled me so deeply. The love and determination she showed just to be here touched my heart more than I can say. It’s these moments of connection that make everything worthwhile. ♥️

Later, another customer and I shared a conversation that went straight to the soul. We talked about how alcoholism has touched both our lives. I opened up about losing both my parents and how sobriety became my way of breaking that generational cycle. He shared about his brother, who passed at 61 after fighting the hard fight. As we shared our stories, I could see the pain in his eyes, and tears rolled down both our faces. 🥹

In that moment, we weren’t just sharing grief—we were finding comfort in each other’s words and strength in the hope of breaking those family curses.♥️

This is why I do what I do. It’s not just about food or business—it’s about the love, the connection, and the healing we share. ✨

Thank you for being part of this journey. You mean more to me than you’ll ever know. ♥️🙏🏻✨☕️💪🏼🫔
