La Casa Del Tamal

La Casa del Tamal was founded by Cristina Olvera, who immigrated from Hidalgo, Mexico to Utah in 1999 and began making tamales from her home kitchen before growing into a celebrated multi-location restaurant. The family-owned operation built its reputation on award-winning tamales, birria tacos, and dishes rooted in Hidalgo traditions, and was recognized by Salt Lake Magazine as a 2024 Best Restaurant and ranked among Utah's Top 20 Restaurants. A downtown Salt Lake City location in the Post District now pairs the kitchen with an Azúcar Cafécito Bar and handcrafted cocktails.
