Tamale Co., Central Florida’s go-to spot for authentic and fresh tamales, is bringing even more to the table—literally and figuratively. Owners Fernando and Jennifer Tamayo are proud to announce the opening of their second full-service restaurant, Tamale Co. Modern Mexican Kitchen & Bar, in College Park this spring. This expansion coincides with another monumental event for the couple: the arrival of their first child, Fernando Jr.
A New Chapter in College Park
Located at 2401 Edgewater Drive, the new Tamale Co. location will embody the same vibrant atmosphere and exceptional flavors that made their Hourglass District restaurant a community favorite. The 2,935-square-foot restaurant will feature a modern yet traditional Mexican décor, a full bar, and table service, offering an elevated dining experience.
In addition to Tamale Co.’s signature tamales and Mexican street food, the College Park menu will debut exclusive new dishes that pay homage to the Tamayos’ roots. The grand opening is slated to coincide with Cinco de Mayo, ensuring the celebration will be one to remember.
“We are overjoyed and deeply grateful for the incredible journey Central Florida has taken Tamale Co. on, helping us grow at every stage,” Fernando and Jennifer Tamayo said. “We hope the College Park community will embrace us with the same warmth and support that the Hourglass neighborhood has. This expansion is a beautiful reflection of the love we’ve received from the community we grew up in, and it affirms that we’re on the right path.”
A Double Celebration for the Tamayo Family
This spring, the Tamayo family is also welcoming their greatest blessing yet—a baby boy, Fernando Jr. Jennifer shares, “Baby Fernando Jr. is a blessing, and we know he brings luck. It’s scary to have two babies arrive at the same time, but all good fortune comes in pairs, life will be so much more exciting, and we can’t wait to watch our son grow up in Tamale Co. and meet all of our longtime guests and friends who have supported us through the years and become family. Expansion is always in our plans. It’s been a long journey, and the path keeps on growing, soon with Tamale Co. College Park and our best adventure yet, baby Tamayo!”
