San Francisco Chronicle article about The Tamale Queen:

"[S]he makes good on the title. Her masa delivers fresh corn taste with no bitter edge. And her fillings -- green chiles and cheese, spicy pork, chicken, shrimp -- need no extra sauce to punch up the flavor."

From the article about taco trucks: "Typical of the go-getters of International Boulevard, Maria Martinez opened World Cup Coffee two years ago (see story, Page F5).

Espresso drinks were slow to take off, so Martinez started selling her plump, well-spiced tamales at $2 apiece, filled with lots of charred green chiles, or chicken with black beans and red chiles. Tamales now make up most of her business, and the sign outside her Fruitvale Avenue cafe, a block off International just across from the Ojo de Agua taco truck, reads 'tamale queen' in huge letters."
