" I had read numerous positive reviews about Chepo's Tamales, and I had to see if it lived up to the praise. I was impressed with the selection of tamales! I ordered the pork and the cheese with chili. They taste almost homemade because of their soft consistency and delicious flavor. Each bite made me want more. However, I did feel the service could improve in terms of efficiency as I had to wait longer than expected for my food, even though the restaurant was busy. Besides that, a solid experience overall, and I plan to return once again. " (*Curated Review*)

" Caught Chepo's Tamales on a good day! They had just made a fresh batch when I arrived, and the aroma alone was heavenly. I got the chicken and the green chili tamales, and both were fantastic. The masa was light and fluffy, and they were generously filled. I appreciate the prices as well; you really get your money's worth here! The only downside is limited seating, but I think most people opt for takeout. Overall, a very pleasant experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" Chepo’s has an authentic flair that’s hard to find these days. The tamales we tried were bursting with flavor and packed with fillings. To top it off, the green chili sauce they serve on the side is a must-have! A point to note: get here early as they can sell out quickly on weekends. It’s a small business, but the dedication to quality shines through in their cooking. I’ll be bringing my friends back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" Looking for authentic tamales? Look no further than Chepo's. From the moment you enter, the aroma of fresh masa welcomes you. I was treated like family by the owner who answered all my questions about the different varieties they offer. I chose the pork and a sweet pineapple tamale and could not have been happier! They were absolutely divine. It's a small spot but has a cozy vibe, perfect for picking up take-out. I will definitely be returning for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're in the mood for tamales, Chepo's should be your first stop! The variety they offer is impressive. I was looking for authentic flavors and found exactly that here. Each tamale was flavorful and moist, and I could really appreciate the tradition behind them. Though the exterior of the store is modest, don't judge a book by its cover! You'll find a treasure inside. I can't wait to bring my family next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't stop raving about Chepo's! Grabbed a dozen for a picnic, and my friends were blown away by how good they were. I particularly loved the sweet tamales - something I had never tried before. Beautifully wrapped and homemade; it felt like a bite of tradition with each piece. The green sauce was a bonus, complementing the flavors wonderfully. It's a tiny spot, but don't let that fool you; good things come in small packages! I'm already planning my next visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" Took some friends to Chepo's last weekend, and we had a great time! The tamales were as good as I hoped. I had the pork, and it was juicy and savory. We also tried the vegetarian option, packed with cheese and green chili. I found the dining area a bit cramped, but that didn't take away from the experience. The real highlight was the food - authentic and welcoming! We will undoubtedly go back whenever we visit downtown Elmira! " (*Curated Review*)
