" I've heard a lot about this place and finally decided to check it out. The atmosphere was welcoming, but I found the tamales to be on the bland side. Service was polite but a little slow. I hope they can work on the flavor because I really want to like this restaurant. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was so excited to try their tamales after hearing positive reviews. However, I was disappointed with how dry the chicken tamale was. It was well-priced, but the lack of flavor was a letdown. I think I'll stick with other options next time I visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had to share my experience! Their tamales were moist and flavorful, and the green salsa was a lovely touch. A charming little spot that deserves more attention. Can’t wait to return for more yummy tamales! " (*Curated Review*)

" Took my family to this restaurant and we thoroughly enjoyed our meal! The tamales were flavorful, especially the pork ones. The service was a bit slow at first, but they were busy, so I can’t complain. I will definitely be coming back to try more of the menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" My friends and I decided to check this place out after work and we were pleased with our experience. The tamales were tasty, though the portion sizes could be larger for the price. Friendly staff and a welcoming vibe. Perfect for a casual night out or takeout! " (*Curated Review*)
