" I am always on the hunt for decent tamales, and I finally found them here! The massive portions make it a great value for the price. On my visit, I had their carne asada tamales, which were true to their Mexican roots with robust flavors that lingered well after the meal. However, I must say that the lines for ordering can get confusing during lunch hours. All in all, a solid spot that I would recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" Frelard Tamales is a must-visit! The tamales are among the best I have ever had. They are flavorful, packed with filling, and made from fresh ingredients. The drink options were also fantastic, especially the horchata. However, I did find the service to be a bit lacking. The staff seemed overwhelmed during busy hours and a little unhelpful at times. Not a huge issue considering the food quality, but it could be improved. Overall, a fantastic dining experience, and I'm looking forward to my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" As a long-time tamale lover, I was excited to try Frelard Tamales based on all the buzz. I ordered the chicken mole tamale and a couple of appetizers to share. The mole was rich and flavorful, truly second to none. The atmosphere was laid back and perfect for a casual outing with friends, and I was pleasantly surprised by the variety of vegetarian options available as well. The only downside? The service was a touch slow, likely because they were busy. Nevertheless, if you're craving authentic tamales, this place is a must-try! " (*Curated Review*)

" I'm someone who loves exploring new eateries and I was excited to try Frelard Tamales after hearing the hype. The décor was vibrant, and the ambiance felt lively! The tamales I had were tasty, but I felt that the portion was slightly smaller compared to what I've had elsewhere. The staff was adequately friendly, but the place did feel a bit rushed—perhaps due to a busy Friday evening. Not a bad experience, but no immediate desire to rush back either. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a mixed experience at Frelard Tamales. While the food was flavorful and definitely authentic—those tamales really hit the spot!—the service left much to be desired. I felt a bit unwelcome when I placed my order, and the staff seemed rushed and distracted. The restaurant was busy, which might explain the hectic vibe, but I would have appreciated a warmer welcome. That said, I can't fault the food; it was delightful! I recommend their shrimp tamales if you're looking for something special. I might consider trying this place again, but I'd hope for better service. " (*Curated Review*)

" A pleasant dining experience with some minor hiccups. The tamales were excellent and retained traditional flavors that are often hard to find in the area. The atmosphere was lively, which I liked, but the wait for our food was on the long side. Service could also use improvement, but overall, the quality of food makes it worthwhile. " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're after a cozy spot for tasty tamales, then Frelard is the place! The flavors stood out to me and definitely brought me back to Mexico. Portions were generous too, and the atmosphere made for a pleasant outing. The service reminded me of laid-back Mexican charm but did expect a quicker response for drinks. Overall, I would definitely recommend stopping by. " (*Curated Review*)
