NBC Latino – Holiday recipe: traditional tamales

Christy Vega Fowler has hot sauce in her blood. She’s the owner of Casa Vega, a well-known Mexican restaurant in Sherman Oaks, CA. Vega Fowler took the reins from her father, Rafael Vega about four years ago, but Casa Vega has been serving patrons in the Los Angeles area for almost 60-years. Vega Fowler comes from a long line of restaurant owners. Her grandparents migrated from Tijuana, Mexico in the 1920’s, and opened their first restaurant, ‘Café Caliente’ on LA’s historic Olvera Street in the early 1930s.
