" Visited Jefita's Tamales last weekend and was blown away! Their tamales are the best I've had in a long time. The masa was soft and flavorful, with just the right amount of filling. I also tried their gorditas which were equally delicious! The staff was friendly, and even though the place was busy, they managed to serve us promptly. I highly recommend giving this place a try! " (*Curated Review*)

" While I was initially thrilled to try Jefita's, I left feeling underwhelmed. Unfortunately, the food didn't have the richness I expected. The tamales were a bit bland, and the service staff seemed a bit overwhelmed. I appreciate the homey vibe of the restaurant, but overall, it was an inconsistency in flavor and service that I noticed on my visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had my first visit to Jefita's and was excited after hearing all the good things! My tamales were delightful, but the service felt slow. I didn't mind the wait too much because the flavors rang true. I think a little extra staff would help streamline things. Would consider coming back again! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was really excited for the authentic experience, but sadly it fell short. The tamales didn’t match my expectations based on other recommendations. They were mostly masa with very little filling. Service was decent but not outstanding. Not sure if I would return for that particular dish. " (*Curated Review*)

" Tried Jefita’s recently and fell in love with the food! Tamales are everything you want them to be – soft, delicious, and generous with filling. Not to mention how approachable the staff is! I felt right at home. I had the menudo, which was also excellent. There’s a certain charm about the place that’s hard to describe until you visit. Don’t miss it! " (*Curated Review*)

" The atmosphere felt welcoming, but unfortunately, my tamales were overly salty for my taste. It's a bit of a shame because the staff were so accommodating and friendly while we waited for our food. I might give it another chance but would hope they could get the seasoning just right next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" A little underwhelmed by my last visit. Everything seemed rushed, including my order. The tamales were okay, but just okay. The service could’ve been better as I had to flag down my server multiple times. Great location, but it’s not making the best of it. I truly hope it improves because I like their concept.
