" It was fine, but not as authentic as I had hoped. The tacos were average and a bit too greasy. I appreciated the friendly service and prompt attention to our table, but dinner didn’t leave me feeling satisfied. I might consider returning if I’m in the area again. " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve heard great things, but my visit was somewhat average. I arrived and waited longer than expected for my food. My tacos were decent but nothing extraordinary compared to other Mexican spots nearby. I appreciated the friendly staff and clean environment though. I might come back to try something else. " (*Curated Review*)

" Though the food here is generally good, my last visit wasn’t great. I ordered the carnitas which were dry and unseasoned. I will say the staff was friendly and accommodating when I mentioned my complaints. The atmosphere remains lively, but more attention is needed to the quality of the food. " (*Curated Review*)

" To say I’m impressed by Los Tamales would be an understatement! The birria tacos were divine and even made me nostalgic for the time I spent in Mexico. The flavors were so rich and authentic, it reminded me of home. I also enjoyed the live music which added to the overall charm of the place. The only downside was that the wait for the food was a bit long, but it was well worth it. I will definitely be back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" Sadly, the experience didn’t live up to my expectations. The tacos were bland and lacked authenticity. The service was acceptable, but definitely not memorable. The atmosphere was bright and lively, which was nice; however, it won’t compel me to come back based solely on the food. Perhaps they were having an off day, but I’m not rushing back to try again. " (*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*)
