These days, there’s nothing like a warm tamale for your morning meal, or lunch or dinner! But while these treats are always a blast, they’re even more delicious when they’re part and parcel of a brand new business. That’s exactly what’s happening on Virgil avenue thanks to 27 year old Desteney Montoya, a life-long Virgil Village denizen who placed her stand out at the intersection of Virgil avenue and Burns St. for the very first time this past weekend, where she sold all 200 of her debut tamales. Desteny will be back at it for just the second time this upcoming weekend from 7:00 AM – 2:00 PM, unless she sells out earlier; and I got a good feeling she will in fact sell out earlier. If you’re unable to make it out but would still like to support her new investment in honor of the holiday spirit, you can donate “tamale funds” via Desteny’s Venmo at @deestamales. Tell her J.T. sent you! 🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽
