01 The QSR opportunity
One authentic favorite.
More ways to sell it.
A tamale can be the meal, complete a combo, anchor breakfast, create a snack occasion or turn into a family bundle. That flexibility gives operators more ways to build traffic and value from a focused program.
Built for value architecture
Position tamales as an entrée, combo, side, snack, bundle or limited-time feature across multiple price points.
Authenticity guests recognize
A familiar Mexican favorite gives chains and independent operators a menu story with comfort, heritage and broad appeal.
A path from proven to proprietary
Start with core house formulas, then work with ADESA R&D on a flavor, format or profile created for your brand.
02 Menu architecture
From first order
to family dinner.
Four high-potential occasions show how an authentic tamale can flex across the QSR day without losing its identity.
01Drive-thru value combo
A complete meal with unmistakable character.
Two tamales, rice, beans and red and green salsas create a portable meal with clear value and authentic appeal.
02Breakfast
Give the morning menu a reason to be remembered.
Tamales pair naturally with eggs, potatoes, beans, avocado and fruit for a distinctive breakfast occasion.
03Snack & limited-time offer
An easy add-on with serious craveability.
Serve a tamale whole or shareable with esquites and salsa for an afternoon snack, side or promotional feature.
04Family bundle
Takeout made for the whole table.
Build a generous family meal around tamales, rice, beans and a range of salsas that lets every guest make it their own.
