Two salsas.
Both made by hand.

Ruby's Mild Salsa — smooth roasted tomato
Mild
Roasted Tomato
Salsa

Smooth, warm, and rich. Roasted tomatoes, garlic, and a hint of cumin. Pairs with everything. The one the kids reach for first.

Ruby's Spicy Salsa — fire-roasted chile
Spicy
Fire-Roasted
Chile Salsa

Deep, smoky, with a slow-building heat that doesn't apologize. Fire-roasted chiles, charred tomato, and garlic. Not for the timid. Earned by the loyal.

How It Works

Simple by design

01

Order Online

Place your order by Wednesday at midnight. Choose your filling, select your pickup Saturday, and pay securely. Batches are limited — first come, first served.

02

Ruby Goes to Work

Every tamale is hand-rolled with stone-ground masa, slow-cooked filling, and the kind of care that no machine can replicate. This is not a shortcut kitchen.

03

Pick Up Saturday

Come to the pickup location Saturday morning. Your dozen is wrapped, labeled, and ready. Reheat instructions included. They won't last the weekend.

Saturday Pickup

One day.
One window.
Every week.

We keep the operation simple on purpose. One pickup window, one day a week. It's what allows Ruby to stay focused on the tamales — and it's what makes Saturday morning feel like a small neighborhood event worth showing up for.
