" Took a trip to The Tamale Store and finally got to try their famed tamales! The menu was full of options; however, I felt the prices were a bit high. I liked the food, but I want to see a better value to go back again. " (*Curated Review*)

" My family and I were very excited to try The Tamale Store after all the hype. The place is colorful and authentic, and they offer a range of flavors that you don't see everywhere. However, the tamales were smaller than expected and the service could be quicker. I still enjoyed my meal and will probably return. " (*Curated Review*)

" Last week I bought several packs of frozen tamales, and they were awesome! Cooking them at home was a treat, and they tasted just as good— if not better— than dining in! The variety they offer is fantastic, and I plan on stocking up more soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" This was my first visit to The Tamale Store and I felt very welcomed. The staff was polite, and the restaurant was aesthetically pleasing. As for the tamales, I can only say they're mouthwatering. I tried both the red and green tamales, and I cannot choose a favorite! " (*Curated Review*)

" Honestly, I found the place to be overrated. While the tamales were decent, they didn't blow me away, especially considering the price. The portions were okay, but I was really hoping for a more authentic experience. I'll keep searching for the perfect tamale in Phoenix. " (*Curated Review*)
