" I had a positive experience at Gordo's overall. The tamales are good sized and flavorful; however, I felt that the prices could be more competitive compared to other places. The staff was quite friendly, but they seemed a little rushed, possibly due to a busy period. " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve had better tamales elsewhere, and I was quite disappointed with the ones I tried at Gordo's. They lacked seasoning and were not as fresh. I appreciate the friendly service, but I would have preferred a better product. " (*Curated Review*)
