Virginia Ramos (1953 - September 27, 2018) was a San Francisco-based chef. She was often known by the moniker Tamale Lady.

She was born in Jalisco, Mexico in 1953.[1] In 1980, she migrated to the United States. She started selling tamales at San Francisco bars in the early 1990s.[2]

She would sell tamales at various San Francisco bars, including Zeitgeist and Lucky 13,[3] though she was officially prohibited from doing so in 2013.[2] She was considered an "icon of the city"[4] and her death was noted by state senator Scott Wiener.[5]
