Turkey Mole Tamales Shine at Casa de Bandini

As November paints Carlsbad in golden hues, stirring visions of festive feasts, Casa de Bandini invites you to a culinary crossover that's pure delight. Located at The Forum Shopping Center, this haven—shaped by Diane Powers' pioneering flair and commitment to Mexican vibrancy—presents our Holiday Turkey Mole Tamales with pride. Powers, the force behind Old Town's cultural renaissance, infuses her passion here, crafting spaces where flavors tell stories. Peel open these artisanal tamales to uncover juicy turkey laced with raisins, chopped pecans, and apples, bathed in our sumptuous dark mole and sesame seeds. Paired with achiote vegetables and black beans, it's a burst of holiday essence that comforts and captivates.

Wander into our lively ambiance, where the historic fountain greets you and the fragrance of spices dances with mariachi melodies. Tamales have endured since 8000 BC in Mesoamerica, spreading as a vital food after corn's rise. Aztec lore, including Tzitzimitl's mythical origin, highlights their ritual importance. We celebrate this at Casa de Bandini with a seasonal spin: turkey meets mole's majesty. Contested between Puebla and Oaxaca, mole—from Nahuatl roots—blends intricate elements like chocolate and chiles, born perhaps from nuns' quick ingenuity. Our sauce drapes the tamales in opulent layers, accenting pecans' crunch, fruits' sweetness, and the vibrant sides.
