Introduction
It's hard to believe that this spring Curra's is celebrating our 15 th years serving Austin the fine interior cusine that our grandmother Consuelo Castillo De Prado served at her restaurant in our hometown of Nueva Rosita Coahuila.
Eleven years ago the Garcia family decided it was time to continue the family tradition of serving delicious authentic Mexican food the entire family came together to build what has become one of Austin's favorite restaurants.
None of our success would have been possible without our dedicated staff or our loyal customers who have given us the opportunity to grow and expand. The entire Garcia Prado family humbly thanks to you for your support.
Although there is no historical evidence to indicate the exact date tamales were first made, we know that the small parcels of corn dough, or masa, date back to Aztec times, and some believe even further. The dish was served up to the Spaniards when they initially arrived in Mexico, and it was described by Friar Bernardino de Sahagun, one of the first to document the conquest. Tamales are parcels of corn masa filled with pork or other meat, and chile sauce, or alternatively they are stuffed with somthing sweet, such as fruit or salmon. After they are filled and wrapped, the tamales are enfolded in corn husks or banana leaves and steamed to doneness. Even today this flavorsome food must be prepared using ancient pre-hispanic method of processing the corn with nixtamal, or slaked lime. Mexican tamales have become popular fare all over the world. They are often served with a green or red sauce in restaurants in the United States, but most Mexicans like them plain, simple--and delicious. BUEN APETITO ENJOY
