Nancy C. Andrade is President and General Counsel of Mexifeast Foods, Inc. Ms. Andrade is a graduate of Loyola University Chicago with a B.A. in Political Science and law degree from Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C.
Ms. Andrade began her career in the food industry while practicing law at a large Chicago law firm. Ms. Andrade was one of only four Latino attorneys at that time and happened to be the only attorney of Mexican ancestry. Being the resident Mexican “expert”, colleagues and staff would often ask her where one could get authentic Mexican tamales. It so happened that Ms. Andrade’s parents operated a part-time catering outfit at the time and was able to refer the tamale inquiries to her parents, who gladly filled tamale orders.
The popularity of her parents tamales grew so much at the firm, that she decided to establish an ordering system similar to “Market Day” for the Christmas Holidays. Having sold 200 dozen tamales in a 6 week period and 300 dozen tamales the following Christmas season, she knew she was on to something and THAT sparked the creation of Mexifeast Foods, Inc.
Mexifeast is a family owned business which sells authentic Mexican tamales to retail outlets in the Midwest. Accounts include Whole Foods Market, Wal-Mart stores in the greater Chicago area, and Fox & Obel Food Market. Mexifeast has been in business for 4 years and sales have systematically increased each year.
