" If you’re searching for traditional flavors, this is your spot! The carnitas and tamales were superb and the portions exceeded my expectations! The ambiance is festive, contributing to a truly enjoyable dining experience. Can’t wait to come back and try more of the menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" I really enjoyed my lunch at Los Tamales! I ordered the pollo a la crema, which was very flavorful. My only complaint was the portion size; it could’ve been a bit larger. Still, it was a delightful meal, and the ambiance of the restaurant is colorful and filled with art, making it a cozy atmosphere. " (*Curated Review*)

" A lovely restaurant with fantastic food! I highly recommend the pizzocca; it was a delightful experience for my taste buds. The atmosphere was lively yet cozy, and the service was quick. I appreciate how accommodating the staff were regarding our dietary restrictions. Will definitely return to try even more of their menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" Los Tamales is a quaint spot that serves fantastic Mexican food! I loved the variety on the menu; it's hard to choose just one item! I went with the tamales and they did not disappoint. They were perfectly steamed and filled with flavor. The salsa bar was a nice touch, offering fresh options to spice things up. I noticed the staff was friendly, but it took a while to get my order. Overall, a great place for authentic cuisine. " (*Curated Review*)

" I wish I could give Los Tamales a higher rating but unfortunately, my last experience was lacking. The carne asada was tough and wasn’t the quality I expected. The positives were the chips and salsa which were fresh and delightful, and a staff that aims to please despite the setback I faced. I might visit again based on previous good experiences. " (*Curated Review*)

" The food here is really good, but I would like to see more variety in the vegetarian options. I had the taco salad which was quite enjoyable, but my friend felt their experience wasn’t as noteworthy since they’re vegetarian. The staff was accommodating and friendly, which is always a plus! " (*Curated Review*)

" Best Mexican food I've had in a long time! The tamales stood out to me as they were bursting with flavor. Topped with fresh salsa, they were an absolute treat! Service was prompt, even on a busy night. I can't wait to share this find with more friends and family. " (*Curated Review*)
