The Story Behind tandoco
tandoco was founded by Tommy, a chef who lost 150 lbs through clean whole-food eating, and Omar, a personal trainer and nutrition coach. We started tandoco because we couldn't find meal prep in the Twin Cities that met our standards — high protein, whole ingredients, no seed oils, no shortcuts.
Every meal is made from scratch in Minneapolis. We don't franchise, we don't ship frozen, and we don't cut corners. If you're an Edina resident looking for meal prep that actually prioritizes your nutrition, this is it.
