" This place never disappoints when it comes to authentic tamales! I was back again for the holidays, and the spicy tamales were a hit in my family. They are definitely small, but full of flavor. That's what counts with these homemade delights! A favorite, and I highly recommend them to anyone visiting! " (*Curated Review*)

" We came here based on a friend's recommendation, and it did not disappoint! The tamales were delightfully moist with a good amount of filling in each one. The staff were incredibly friendly and helped us with the selections. We ate outside since there's no indoor seating, but it was a pleasant experience overall. " (*Curated Review*)

" Tamales Lupita is a small gem! The tamales here remind me of my childhood and family gatherings. Each bite is filled with rich, authentic flavors. The only drawback was the wait, which can be long during busy hours. But once you try them, you’ll understand why the line is out the door. Worth every minute! " (*Curated Review*)

" I am a regular at Tamales Lupita and it's always a pleasure to visit! The tamales are fresh, flavorful, and truly authentic. You can tell they use quality ingredients. The staff is consistently friendly and efficient, which adds to the overall positive experience. It's a small place, so be prepared to wait during peak hours, but trust me, it's worth it! " (*Curated Review*)

" I wanted to love this place due to all the great buzz surrounding it, but I came away disappointed. The tamales I tried were dry and lacking the robust flavors I was expecting. It seemed like they had been sitting out for a while. The ambiance is pretty casual, maybe a tad too cramped for my liking. I might give it another try during a less busy time to see if the quality changes. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for my visit to Tamales Lupita, but it didn't quite meet my expectations. The tamales lacked flavor, and I noticed that my beef tamale was mostly masa. The service was decent but could use a smile or two. The atmosphere was quite cramped, and they were doing a lot of take-out orders when I was there. Maybe this place is better for a quick snack than a sit-down meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" The best spot in town for authentic Mexican tamales! I love the varied options available, from red pork to sweet tamales. It's always busy, which is a good sign of quality and local support. The service, although quick, can feel a bit rushed when there's a queue, but that's just part of the experience. Do not miss trying their burritos - they are equally as good, if not better! " (*Curated Review*)
