" I wish I could love this place more than I do. The food had strong flavors, but the last time I visited, the tamales seemed undercooked and dry. The service was pleasant, but it took quite a while to get my coffee. I could see the potential here, but there's room for improvement. " (*Curated Review*)

" Delicious, authentic food that warms the soul! The tamales are wrapped the traditional way, which adds to the whole experience. I was satisfied with the portion sizes, but my only complaint was that the service could be faster. Still, I can't wait to go back again soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had an excellent experience at Carolina Tamales! The tamales were bursting with flavor, especially the pork variety. The staff was friendly even as the place got busier. It felt truly authentic and homey. Plus, the agua de jamaica was refreshing! Highly recommend this hidden gem! " (*Curated Review*)

" Carolina Tamales has really impressed me over the last few months. Their chilaquiles are a must-try, bursting with flavor and freshness. I always try to order a side of their sweet drinks—they are top-notch! Service is usually prompt and friendly. The only downside is that it's sometimes crowded! " (*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!
