Bienvenidos otra vez a LaVoz Newspaper. Withthis December 2021 issuewe conclude our 31st year ofpublishing La Voz inTexas. Parece que no, perose nos fueron los años.
When we started La VozNewspapers back in 1990,we never thought we wouldstill be at it in 2022. Peroaquí estamos y no nosvamos as far as I can tell.
While December issupposed to be theChristmas season andpeople are suppose to behappy, we are a bit sad at thepassing of community iconMarcelo Tafoya.
He was one of the firstpeople I met when I came toAustin in 2004. I alwaysfound Mr. Tafoya to be ina good mood and eternallyoptimistic. As the years wentby and we would see eachother in meetings or at arestaurant, I would learn alit bit more about hispersonal history. As you willsee in the pages that follow,Mr. Tafoya was truly a
pioneer in the MexicanAmerican community. Weextend our condolences tohis family.
Cambiando deTema
We wish to join with othersin acknowledging thecelebration of the chambersof commerce. What reallycaught our attention is thenumber of Hispanicchambers in Texas (35) andabout 600 nationwide. LaRaza si anda all over theplace.
Related to business is astory by Olga CamposBenz on the new tamaloperation that has come toAustin. We are talkingabout Delicious Tamaleswhich is located at 1931 E.Oltorf.
What caught our eye abouttheir operation is that theyhave 13 or so differentvarieties of tamales. Also, besure and checkout our storyon Los Tres Tequileroson pages 14 and 15. They arethree guys with a dream who
have put ganasinto making it come true.

Our interview withJasmine Vallejo on pages16 and 17 is another exampleof someone who has putdetermination at the top ofher agenda. She epitomizesthe notion that life deals youcertain cards. Sometimesthose cards are low andsometimes those cards arehigh. But the secret tosuccess lies not in the kindof cards you are dealt butrather in how you play them.
I cannot begin to tell youhow many people I have metor known that have beendealt low cards and stillmanaged to come up withsuccess beyond belief. Unode los chistes en la vida setrata de hechandole ganas,no matter what lies in frontof you.
Finally, de parte de mifamilia les deseo un FelizNavidad y Prospero AñoNuevo!

La Voz Newspaper - December, 2021,
On behalf of Samuel Guzman, TAMACCChairman of the Board, Pauline E.Anton, TAMACC President, the
Executive Committee, and all members
across Texas - we appreciate your continued
support of our chambers and leadership in
your community!
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce has been
in existence since 1912. President WilliamHoward Taft first brought the concept for
an organization that would represent the
concerns of U.S. businesses in an address
before Congress in December of 1911.
In Texas, there are more than 600 local
chambers of commerce, distinguishing
themselves as the Voice of Business in the
state. The continued work of chambers of
commerce benefits our state through
economic development and community
development programs. The business
community, represented through the local
chambers of commerce, has been a driving
force in fostering enhanced educational
opportunities, infrastructure improvements,
leadership development, the creation of
jobs, and a positive vision of the future.
The San Antonio Hispanic Chamber ofCommerce is the first Hispanic Chamber
in the United States, originally chartered as
the Mexican Chamber of Commerce in
1929. Dallas and Corpus Christi soon
followed San Antonio.
The Texas Association of MexicanAmerican Chambers of Commerce(TAMACC), founded in 1975, was
originally composed of fewer than 20
courageous Hispanic small-business owners
interested in realizing greater success for
themselves and all Hispanic entrepreneurs.
The organization gained momentum and
steadily grew and developed its focus of
promoting business leadership, creating
economic opportunities, and providing
legislative and business advocacy for the
Hispanic business community in Texas.
The first annual TAMACC convention
started August 6, 1976, in Irving, Texas.
At the time of the convention, TAMACChad ten member chambers: Austin
individuals from New Mexico, California,and Arizona began a steering committee to
organize the United States HispanicChamber of Commerce.
In July 1979, during the TAMACCconvention in Lubbock, Texas, the UnitedStates Hispanic Chamber of Commercejoined the members of TAMACC and had
their own annual meeting and convention.
They held their first election of officers. The
states present were Texas, New York,Colorado, Kansas, Missouri, Florida,New Mexico, Arizona, California, and
Washington D.C. Nelson Rodriguez, past
President of TAMACC, was elected the
first President of the United StatesHispanic Chamber of Commerce.
Today, there are about 35 Hispanic
chambers of commerce in Texas and about
600 across the nation. These chambers
represent the Hispanic business community
as an advocate and resource to strengthen
local businesses of all sizes.

Very few adults count the days until
Christmas like Valerie Gonzalez - except
for maybe Santa Claus. Like Señor Claus,
Valerie is also focused on getting orders
filled so that families will have special ‘gifts’
to unwrap during the holidays. As you’ve
probably guessed, Gonzalez’ ‘gifts’ are
piping-hot, fresh tamales to unwrap and
enjoy with loved ones in celebration of
Navidad.
Valerie and her daughter, Herlinda Lopez-
Wood, are the co-owners of DELICIOUS
TAMALES of San Antonio. “We are proud
of our legacy and of being San Antonio’s
leading manufacturer of tamales selling
more than 2 million every year. That’s about
70 dozen tamales produced every 2
minutes!” says Herlinda, the company’s
Vice-President.
The production output is about to increase
now that the mother-daughter duo has
decided to expand its tamale services to
Central Texas. Their first Austin location
at 1931 E. Oltorf will be open for take-out
orders beginning the week after
Thanksgiving. “We are grateful for the
loyalty of individuals, corporations and
several nonprofits from Austin that have
been driving to San Antonio for years to
buy our tamales. Opening a location in
Austin makes it possible for even more
people to enjoy old-fashioned tamales like
my abuelita taught us to make,” says
Gonzalez, President of DELICIOUS
TAMALES.
While growing up in Laredo every year
before Christmas Valerie’s family hosted
tamaladas, which are hours, even days,
spent together making tamales and
socializing. Unfortunately, fewer families
have the time or the know-how to replicate
their abuela’s tamale-making process and
not all Mexican food restaurants carry the
popular menu item. Those that do, often
offer a limited supply and only during the
holiday season.
Making tamales requires corn husks to be
soaked in water for hours to be softened
for use, while corn kernels are stone-ground
and cooked to create the masa to spread
over the moist corn husks or ‘hojas’. Various
ingredients including chicken, pork, or
beans are seasoned before being added
to the masa and hand wrapped in authentic
hojas to create a tamal. From start-to-finish,
the entire labor-intensive process takes
place at the company’s 30,000 square-foot
factory on Culebra Street in Northwest San
Antonio.
The company - and Valerie - have come a
long way since her first tamal was hand-
wrapped many years ago. Her father was a
bookkeeper and even though he was in his
early 30s when he died, he impressed upon
his six children the importance of an
education as the way out of the barrio. They
would have made their father very proud
since each is a graduate of The University
of Texas at Austin and is successful in their
chosen profession. Valerie says they were
blessed to be raised by strong women - her
widowed mother, three aunts and both
grandmothers - who instilled in them the
resilience needed to successfully overcome
any obstacles faced.
After graduating from The University of
Texas, Valerie moved to San Antonio in
1979 where she earned her master ’s
degree from Our Lady of the Lake
University. She married a man whose
family opened the original DELICIOUS
TAMALES in the mid-1960’s. The couple
invested $500 to open their own small
location which grew steadily. So did their
family. The couple had two daughters
before divorcing in 2003. A few years later
Valerie bought out her husband’s share of
the business and eventually extended co-
ownership to her daughter, Herlinda. She
credits Herlinda with moving the company
forward by creating new flavors including
jalapeño cheese and vegetarian tamales.
In all, DELICIOUS TAMALES offers 13
different flavors which are all made with
fresh ingredients and are gluten-free
(except the sweet ones which are made with
cake flour, raisins, coconut, and pecans).
The convenience of delivery now extends
nationwide with tamales shipped daily while
residents in San Antonio and soon those
in Austin can utilize services including
DoorDash, UberEats, and GrubHub.
Valerie smiles when she talks about her
coworkers being like family and fondly
recalls one woman in her 70’s who recently
retired after being with DELICIOUS
TAMALES since the beginning. She’s also
proud to offer ‘second chance’ employment
to the formerly incarcerated who are serious
about turning their lives around. Among the
company’s loyal customers are several
nonprofit organizations which return year-
after-year to buy tamales in bulk to sell for
their own fundraising projects. One of their
newest nonprofit partners is the Hispanic
Faculty Association of The University of
Texas at Austin which will use proceeds
from the sale of tamales to provide
scholarships for deserving first-generation
college students. DELICIOUS TAMALES
also supports the San Antonio Police
Department’s Blue Santa Program, and
they donate products quarterly to the San
Antonio Food Bank.
When she’s not busy overseeing the
operation, Valerie Gonzalez is active in the
community and is a member of the San
Antonio Hispanic Chamber of Commerce
and the San Antonio Greater Chamber of
Commerce. She also sits on the board of
directors of The Madonna Center in San
Antonio and is a University of Texas
Foundation Member. In 2001, Gonzalez
created the Delicious Inc. Scholarship
Fund, which annually presents $500 to a
deserving undergraduate student from
Laredo who plans to return and work in their
local community. She loves being an
abuelita to 5-year-old Grey Alexander and
almost 2-year-old Zion Noa.
Unlike Santa who finishes his work in
December - DELICIOUS TAMALES
produces authentic, hand-wrapped tamales
all year round, except for the two weeks the
plant is closed right after Christmas.
Valerie jokes, “We’re like elves. We come
back refreshed and eager to start the
process all over again because we love
seeing the smiles on customer’s faces
when they unwrap a steaming hot tamale
just like their grandma used to make.”

·ABOVE: Cristina Tzintzun Ramirez says, “Gross inequality is disgusting. One of thegreatest myths that perpetuates inequality is that your wealth is just determined by howhard you work. But I can tell you from over a decade of organizing construction, domesticand restaurant workers, that the hardest working people I have ever known have usuallymade the least.”
People like Luis Rodriguez in this photo,worked six, sometimes seven days a week in theheat of Texas laying tile and doing all kinds ofconstruction jobs, building multi-million dollarprojects. He lost his finger while working, gotstiffed by his employers multiple times who re-fused to pay him. If wealth was determined byhow hard you work, Luis would have been amillionaire ten times over.Most wealth is inherited, generation from gen-eration.
I get angry by gross inequality because we canstop it.
Jeff Bezos shouldn’t be able to pay $0 in taxesand then pump billions to fly to space, while kidsin Flint, Michigan were being forced to drinklead-poisoned water. Let’s tax the rich their fairshare and build a country for our people with afloor and ceiling for our collective good.

When most people think about
going out and having a drink they
think about a beer or a mixed drink.
Some might think about a glass of
wine. But how many think about
tequila? When most people think
about tequila they think of a shot of
tequila and then maybe taking a bite
out of lime. But that’s most people.
Here in Austin there are three guys
who did more than just think about
tequila, they decided they wanted to
get into the tequila business.
How does one get into the tequila
business? Well aside from going
down to Mexico and getting a job
as a jimador or in a production
facility, the next best thing you can
do is start your own tequila
importing business. And this is
exactly what the three fellows in the
photo on your right went out and
did.
Welcome to Dos Cuernos
Tequila! Los amigos, Pete
Treviño, Angel Gallegos and
Sylvester Palacios began to
dream about getting in the tequila
business seven years ago. After
several trips to Mexico, and lots of
paper work in order to get the
appropriate licenses, they finally
launched their business. And
according them, it has been non-
stop in Austin’s bustling and
growing market.
In an interview with the three co-
owners they shared how they met in
Pflugerville at El Rincon
Mexican Restaurant and decided
to take their best shot at one of the
most competitive business in the
world. According to Angel, there
are hundreds of distilleries in
Mexico that produce tequila and
thousands of importers who bring
it across the border. The trick
according Sylvester Palacios is to
create the demand for your brand.
And this is where one’s skills in
marketing and communication
come into play.
Dos Cuernos, which is in part a
take off from the Texas
Longhorns, has been participating
in a number of beverage shows,
grand openings and tasting events
around Central Texas. Their
flagship bottle which is pictured on
the facing page is beginning to move
and move fast with the help of social
marketing such Facebook and
Instagram. Their unique and bold
marketing tactics has helped them
to quickly get national attention.
Tequila is the kind of drink you
want to sip slowly says, Pete
Treviño, one of the co-owners. It
is a drink that can help you to absorb
the moment. Too many people who
do drink, tend to drink too fast. The
secret to drinking tequila is to do it
slowly and of course in good
company.
Dos Cuernos is in the competitive
mix of beverages in the Austin area
and it comes from a long line of
LosTres Tequileros

Page 15La Voz Newspaper - December, 2021
beverages that have
crossed the border
over the years. If you
want to take a
mental trip to
Mexico, ask your
server for Dos
Cuernos Tequila.
If you drink it slowly,
you won’t be sorry.
de Austin, Texas¿Qué es un Jimador?Un jimador es un campesino que trabajacosechando las plantas de agave, las cuales sirvenprincipalmente para la produción del tequila. Estetipo de trabajador es un hombre que conose lasmatas de agave, y asi puede identificar cuando estanmaduras, lo cual tarda entre 8 y 12 años.
La herramienta principal del jimador es la coa dela jima. Esto es un palo largo, con una navaja en lapunta que le da un parecido al azadón. El jimadoquita la flor del agave, la cual parece una piña, alquitar todas las hojas queda el corazón del agave,el cual es horneado hasta que destila el productoque después formara el tequila y otras bebidas muytipicas de México.
