" Frelard Tamales exceeded my expectations! Everything from the decor to the food felt authentically Mexican and vibrant. We ordered tamales to share, and every single variety showcased incredible attention to detail. The only downside I noticed was the wait staff occasionally forgetting to check in on us. Apart from that, this place is definitely worth it, and I can't wait to come back again as my new tamale spot! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're looking for really good authentic tamales, look no further! The flavors are fantastic, and the options cater to both meat lovers and vegetarians like myself. I visited on a chilly evening and loved the cozy atmosphere. The staff were friendly, though a bit hectic due to the crowd, but overall a great experience. Don't miss their fresh guacamole as a side; it’s delicious! Definitely going to be a frequent customer! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently visited Frelard Tamales for lunch and was completely taken aback by the flavor of their tamales! The masa had the perfect consistency and every bite was filled with delicious fillings. I tried both the traditional and vegan options, and both were amazing! The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, making it a great spot to unwind. Just a heads up, the line can get a bit long during peak hours, but it's definitely worth the wait. I can't wait to come back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely fantastic experience! The tamales were fresh and bursting with flavors. The ambiance was warm and welcoming, perfect for a Saturday brunch with friends. My only complaint is the long queue to order but that's a testament to their popularity! I would revisit in a heartbeat; the food stole my heart! " (*Curated Review*)

" Unfortunately, I didn’t find Frelard Tamales to be as authentic as I expected. My tamales were decent at best. The masa lacked the depth of flavor, and the fillings were underwhelming. However, I appreciated the clean environment and pleasant decor, which made it a nice place to dine. The service was okay, but I've had much better experiences at other local spots. Not sure I'd return. " (*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*)
