" I wanted to try Carolina Tamales after hearing rave reviews from friends. Though I had high expectations, I found the food to be just okay. The service was friendly, but my order took a long time to be prepared. I might give it another chance, but I wasn't blown away. " (*Curated Review*)

" Unfortunately, my experience at Carolina Tamales was not as great as I had hoped. While the food had potential, the service was severely lacking. I felt overlooked and waited far too long for my order. The tamales were decent but they could be a lot better if served fresh. I won't be returning anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" If you want value for your money, this is the place! The quantity of food you get compared to the price is quite reasonable. I ordered the combo meal and was pleasantly surprised by how much I received. The tamales were tasty, just slightly drier than I expected. However, I'll gladly overlook that due to the service and atmosphere. " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve been coming here for years and it never disappoints! Each tamale is handmade and you can taste the care in every bite. The frijoles de puerco are the best I’ve had outside of my grandmother's kitchen. The staff always treats you like family. It's small, but it feels like home. Highly recommend to anyone who loves authentic Mexican cuisine. " (*Curated Review*)

" I absolutely adore this place! The flavors are authentic to Sinaloa and the service feels like family. The portions are always satisfying, and I leave with a smile every time. Can't recommend it enough! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a disappointing experience at Carolina Tamales lately. While I've enjoyed their food in the past, my recent visit left me underwhelmed. The tamales seemed to be reheated, and the flavors were muted. The service also felt rushed, which took away from the overall enjoyment. I'm hesitant to return anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" Decided to give Carolina Tamales a try after hearing great things about their food. The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming. I ordered the chicken tamale and it was delightful; however, my only disappointment was that the wait for our food was a bit long. Still, the flavor made it worth it, and I would return soon!
