The Park Ridge Chamber of Commerce is happy to welcome back our friends at Tamales Express back to our first event of Season 3 of Park Ridge Market after Dark on Saturday, May 30th!!!

A few years ago the Diaz brothers (Raul German, and Miguel) decided to start selling their handmade, authentic tamales at Chicagoland farmers markets. They never imagined the love and support they would receive from everyone! Today, Tamales Express is a thriving family-owned and operated business specializing in traditional, handmade Mexican-style tamales, tacos, and traditional Mexican street foods. It is their passion to provide delicious, nutritious and authentic food to their us – their neighbors.

They look forward to a great Park Ridge Market after Dark season, and we look forward to having them with us for our second year! Hope to see you all on Saturday, May 30th!!!
