Savor the flavor

​

Behind this endeavor is a single mother with a mission as bold as her flavors.

​

Meet Tiffany, a former corrections officer at Central Prison. For years, she dedicated herself to a demanding job that often kept her away from her daughter and the simple joys of everyday life. Working long, exhausting hours on the graveyard shift, she found herself yearning for something more – a way to be present for her child while pursuing her passion for food.

​

Tiffany decided to take a leap of faith. Drawing from her years in the food industry, she founded Raleigh Tamales with a clear vision: to create cleaner, fresher food without the fillers, preservatives, and additives that saturate grocery store shelves and restaurant menus. But her mission didn’t stop there.

​

Driven by her own experiences, Tiffany made it a priority to support other single parents. She employs single parents at Raleigh Tamales, offering them not just a job but a chance to regain control over their schedules and lives, breaking free from the relentless demands of the working system.

​

The journey hasn’t been easy. Tiffany recalls the days of working overtime, sometimes clocking in 16-hour shifts, and missing precious moments with her daughter. But with Raleigh Tamales, she’s found a way to rewrite that story – to be there for her child and for herself.

​

Today, Raleigh Tamales isn’t just a place for great food, Authentic Tamales and Mexican food that connects her to her roots and culture, it’s a beacon of hope and support for single parents, a testament to the resilience of the human spirit, and a reminder that no dream is too big to pursue.

​

Tiffany’s motto, “I see you, I hear you, you are valued,” isn’t just words on a wall; it’s the foundation of a culture she’s built – one that values every individual, customer, and employee alike.
