" Okay, so I have to rave about the champurrado! It's the best I've tasted in Chicago, paired perfectly with their succulent tamales. The fillings were diverse, and everything just felt wonderfully homemade. The pricing is decent for the quality, and I appreciated the friendliness of the staff. I'll keep coming back! " (*Curated Review*)

" My recent experience at Gordo's Tamales was quite disappointing. I had high expectations based on other reviews, but my tamales were lukewarm and didn't have the flavor I was hoping for. The online ordering process wasn’t smooth either, as I had to wait longer and ended up receiving the wrong order. I might give it another shot, but I'm hesitant. " (*Curated Review*)

" Gordo's Tamales has been my go-to place for a quick meal. The food is consistently good with generous portions, especially the tacos. It's an ideal place to satisfy your cravings for steamy, flavorful tamales without breaking the bank. " (*Curated Review*)

" Gordo's is a gem for tamale lovers! I visited on a rainy Saturday, and the warmth from the food was exactly what I needed. The tamales are large, and the flavors are just delightful! The service was pleasant, and the prices are fair considering the portion sizes. I can't say enough good things about this place. " (*Curated Review*)

" I've been eyeing this spot for some time now, and after finally visiting, I don’t know why I waited so long! The tamales are honestly some of the best I've tried! Fluffy and bursting with flavors! It was refreshing to have something authentic in the city. I will for sure be back to explore more of their menu soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" 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*)
