" Great little spot for a quick Mexican meal, and the prices are definitely in the mid-range for the quality you get. The tamales are delicious, but the space is quite small and can feel cramped when busy. Still, it’s a great place for takeout. I’ve been a few times now, and the food is consistently good. " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're looking for authentic Mexican food, look no further than Tamales Guadalajara. Their tamales are always a hit with my family. I particularly like the red pork variety. The restaurant does get busy during the weekends, so I recommend ordering ahead. On my last visit, the service was prompt, and the staff made us feel welcome. A must-try spot in Downey! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a pleasant experience at Tamales Guadalajara. The food was authentic, but I found that some dishes were slightly overcooked. Nonetheless, the flavors were outstanding. The ambiance was cozy, making it a nice place for families. Our server was a bit rushed, but they did appear to be busy at the time. Overall, it was a satisfying meal! " (*Curated Review*)

" I will definitely be back! The tamales were so fresh and delicious; I can’t emphasize that enough. The ambiance of the place is chill, which is perfect for a cozy dinner. I had their green chilaquiles and was very impressed with the portion size and taste. It's the kind of restaurant you want to keep returning to! " (*Curated Review*)

" This was my first time at Tamales Guadalajara, and I have mixed feelings. While the tamales were fresh and delicious, I was disappointed with the size relative to the price. The service took longer than expected, but the atmosphere made it somewhat bearable. Overall, I'd give it another shot, as the food was quite good. " (*Curated Review*)

" My expectations were high, but they weren't quite met. The tamales fell flat; they were average at best. There was some good flavor, but I expected it to be more authentic based on the rave reviews. The service was decent, but I regret not trying a wider variety of dishes. Maybe I’ll try it again later, but I wouldn't say it's a must-visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Tamales Guadalajara last week, and I was blown away by the authenticity of their food! The green tamales were vibrant and spicy, just as they should be. The service was friendly, and the cozy corner atmosphere made it feel like home. I can't wait to come back and try more dishes; every meal I've had here has been fantastic! " (*Curated Review*)
