La historia de Evelia’s Tamales comenzó después del 9/11 cuando Evelia no pudo regresar a su trabajo de comida rápida ubicado en el centro de Manhattan. Comenzó a vender tamales, un tradicional plato de desayuno mexicano hecho de masa y cocido al vapor en una cáscara de maíz, en un carrito de super mercado, pero con una creciente popularidad pudo actualizar a un carrito más grande y extender su menú a tamales oaxaqueños, atoles, emparedados y tortitas. Ahora y desde hace más de 15 años, Evelia se instala todos los días en la esquina de Junction Blvd y Roosevelt Avenue en Corona, Queens, donde ofrece un gran variedad de tamales y atoles ubicados justo fuera de la estación del tren 7.
