" Evelia’s Tamales is the kind of place you want to return to time and again. The atmosphere is cheerful and welcoming, a perfect backdrop for the fantastic tamales they serve. I tried their breakfast menu — the Huevos Rancheros was heavenly! The tamales have an authentic taste and are clearly made with care. Service was friendly, but they were a bit overwhelmed when I visited. Still, my cravings for their tamales will bring me back with a smile. " (*Curated Review*)

" My first experience at Evelia's was a mixed bag. The tamales I had were flavorful and homemade, which I appreciated. However, I did find the lack of options available on the menu during my visit a bit disappointing. The service was also a little lacking; I felt like I had to flag down a server to get their attention. The space itself was cozy, so I would probably be willing to give them another chance on a different day. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a delightful little gem Evelia's Tamales is! The authenticity of the flavors is evident with every bite. Their mole tamales were exceptional, overflowing with rich flavors that transported me straight to Mexico. The atmosphere is bright and cheerful, making it perfect for a casual meal or brunch. Despite being busy, the service was attentive and kind which was appreciated. I will recommend this spot to everyone I know! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had the pleasure of trying Evelia's Tamales this weekend, and it was a delightful experience. The authenticity is unmistakable, and every bite reminded me of Mexico. I ordered a variety including spicy and sweet, and the flavors were spot on. I also love that they offer a nice selection of salsas to pair with the tamales. The service could use some improvement; I felt a little ignored at times, but the food definitely made up for it. Looking forward to my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you’re in the mood for tamales, Evelia’s is the place to go. I was blown away by their authentic flavors, especially the sweet tamales filled with pineapple. The service was friendly and made me feel welcome, although a little slow considering how busy it was during the lunch rush. The atmosphere was casual and comfortable, perfect for enjoying a meal with friends. Prices are reasonable for the quality of food they serve, so I would definitely recommend checking this place out soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" Honestly, I can’t say enough good things about Evelia's Tamales! The moment I walked in, I was greeted with a warm smile, and the scent of freshly made tamales filled the air. I ordered several kinds including the mole and the chicken, and they were hands down the best I’ve had. The masa was perfectly fluffy, and each tamale was packed with flavor. The prices are reasonable too! This place is a gem for anyone craving authentic Mexican food. " (*Curated Review*)

" While I had high hopes for Evelia's Tamales based on some recommendations, I was left a little underwhelmed. Although the tamales themselves were flavorful, I found the portion sizes smaller than expected, given the price. I had the chicken and mole options, and while they were quite good, I’ve had better elsewhere. The ambiance was alright, and the staff were helpful. It wasn't a bad experience but certainly not the best. " (*Curated Review*)
