" Always a favorite spot for tamales! The quality here is undeniable, and their prices are fair given how generous the portions are. I especially love the sweet tamales – they are a special treat! Just keep your fingers crossed that they haven’t sold out by the time you get there. " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing great things, I decided to check out La Casita Tamales. I was not disappointed! The red tamales were so flavorful, and they were packed with meat! The service was fast and friendly. I got there right after they opened, and I can see why they sell out quickly - these tamales are that good. I will definitely be back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" I regularly stop by La Casita Tamales. My family has been coming here for years. The flavors are nostalgic! The green tamales are my favorite, and they never disappoint! I’ve brought friends along who loved them too! Just keep in mind they usually sell out before closing, so plan accordingly. " (*Curated Review*)

" An absolute must-try if you're in the area! The tamales are fantastic – perfectly moist and full of flavor. The staff is welcoming, and the ambiance is charmingly minimalistic. I always take a few friends, and they leave raving about the tamales too! " (*Curated Review*)

" La Casita Tamales is definitely a local favorite! Their spicy chicken tamales are expertly made, and you can taste the quality. I stopped by a few weekends ago and got a dozen to go. I was pleasantly surprised by their speed and friendliness of staff, despite it being busy. A must-try! " (*Curated Review*)

" I have to say, La Casita Tamales blew me away with their flavors! I tried their green tamales which were perfectly spicy, just the way I like them. The masa was soft and the filling generous, definitely worth the trip. The only downside was that they only have takeout, but that didn't bother me much since the food was amazing. Overall, I can't recommend this place enough! " (*Curated Review*)

" My husband and I visited after hearing all the rave reviews, and honestly, we were disappointed. The tamales were good but not great. The chicken ones tasted a bit dry, and the service was terribly slow. It's a takeout place, so that was a bummer. We expected a little more given the hype. " (*Curated Review*)
