Masa · Corn Husk · Slow-Cooked — a signature of El Cafesito By Mexicanada, family-owned and proudly serving authentic Mexican café culture from the heart of Old Strathcona, Edmonton.
Our Tamales are crafted using time-honoured techniques passed down through the MexiCánada family. Soft, fragrant masa is filled with savoury or sweet ingredients, wrapped in corn husks, and slowly steamed until tender. Every bite delivers the warmth and heritage of traditional Mexican home cooking.
A beloved comfort food across Mexico, our tamales are a customer favourite at El Cafesito By Mexicanada. Pick them up from our Old Strathcona café, order them for delivery in Edmonton, or include them in your next catering order — they’re always crowd-pleasers.

“I order half a dozen at a time. Freeze beautifully, taste even better than the day I picked them up. A weekly tradition now.”
