" Frelard Tamales exceeded my expectations. The authentic flavors reminded me of my abuela's kitchen back home. The tamales were rich, and I enjoyed the great masa to filling ratio. The staff was also super accommodating, and I appreciate that they have several vegan options. The only downside was the limited seating, which makes it a little cramped during peak hours. Overall, this place is a treasure for anyone craving tamales! " (*Curated Review*)

" Frelard Tamales has become my go-to spot for comfort food. The flavors are on point, and I appreciate the quality of ingredients they use. I've tried a few different varieties, and I've loved them all—especially the spicy pork! The service is consistently great, and the atmosphere is relaxed. With their new location, I love being able to sit down and enjoy my meal. This place truly feels like home! " (*Curated Review*)

" Solid spot for tamales but not the best I’ve ever had. They do have a good variety and the pork tamale with salsa roja was tasty, but I just expected a bit more after all the hype. The service was attentive, and the place has a nice vibe, but my expectations were not met completely. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was thrilled to find a tamale shop near me, but I must say I was disappointed overall. The masa was dense and lacking the fluffiness I associate with good tamales. I enjoyed the salsa verde, but it could have been spicier. I might stop by again, but I will have to think about it. " (*Curated Review*)

" Best tamales in town! I'm not exaggerating when I say they rival those I've tried in Mexico. The chicken tamale is particularly noteworthy! Generous portions, lovely presentation, and a cozy atmosphere make this the perfect spot. The staff was very helpful and friendly, too. I can't wait to come back! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was really excited to try Frelard Tamales, but I was a bit let down. The masa was a little dense for my liking and some of the fillings didn’t pack the flavor punch I was hoping for. The service was friendly but took longer than expected for my order. I might come back to give it another shot and try different flavors, but I wasn't overly impressed this time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Frelard Tamales is a must-visit for any food lover. I was seriously impressed by the variety they offered. The chicken tamale was filled with flavors that reminded me of traditional Mexican kitchens—authentic indeed! The service was prompt, and I was able to try a lovely atmosphere. Will return soon!
