At Delia’s, we’ve proudly been serving our delicious homemade tamales for over 30 years. During this time, we’ve received many, many questions from our customers about our delicious dishes. We’ve chosen seven of the most common and have decided to answer them!
Do you ship your tamales outside of Texas?
Yes, Delia’s can ship an order of tamales outside of Texas. In fact, we ship all over the U.S. as long as orders total $15 or more.
How can I reheat my leftover tamales?
The most popular method of reheating tamales is with a comal. If you’re warming up frozen tamales, let them thaw for about 30 minutes. Then set your stove to medium heat and place them on the comal with the corn husk still on.
