About this Event

Join us in Rita’s Test Kitchen for an unforgettable, hands-on tamale experience! You’ll start by learning about the rich cultural history behind this beloved dish, then roll up your sleeves and make tamales from scratch yourself.

In this interactive class, we’ll prepare our famous tableside guacamole and craft a fresh batch of homemade tamales together. Along the way, you’ll discover why tamales have been a treasured tradition across Latino cultures for centuries — bringing families and communities together around food.

The class includes a short, engaging presentation on the history and cultural significance of tamales, giving you a deeper appreciation for every bite. You’ll enjoy Rita’s signature house-made salsa as a snack, sip on our iconic El Jefe Margarita (included with your ticket), and take in the one-of-a-kind views from our Test Kitchen overlooking the San Antonio Riverwalk. Whether it's with friends and family, significant others, or a team builder alongside co-workers, it is a great time for all!

Located directly above Rita’s on the Riverwalk — one of the top-rated Tex-Mex restaurants in the area — our Test Kitchen offers the perfect setting for a fun and flavorful experience. Come hungry, leave inspired, and take home the skills to recreate this timeless tradition in your own kitchen!
