East Bay Express Best of the East Bay 2008
We're not bragging or anything BUT La Borinqueña won for Best Tamales! Can you believe it's six months till Christmas already? An early reminder, don't forget that we begin accepting tamale orders for Christmas RIGHT AFTER Thanksgiving!

Read what East Bay Express had to say about our "huge, meaty behemoths, drenched in cheese and gravy" here. See the entire list of winners here.

It's been 2 years since you went away. People still come by La Borinqueña asking for you; we tell them you're at peace. The pan dulce isn't the same without you. Your buddies from the race track miss seeing you throughout the week. Ariel asks to be taken to the places you liked, we're surprised at how many there are. We tell funny stories about you so Nati will laugh. We hear many serious stories from those you helped and touched. Siempre estaras en nuestros corazones. You will always be in our hearts.
