" Absolutely loved my experience here! The customer service was fantastic, and the tamales were just the right amount of hearty. I tried the pork and green chili tamale and it was bursting with flavor; it was possibly the best I have had in a long time! A highlight was also the outdoor seating, which gave a pleasant atmosphere to enjoy the meal. Highly recommend to anyone in the area! " (*Curated Review*)

" As an avid tamale lover, I wasn't impressed with the ingredients. They taste great, but the meat was far too little for my liking. That said, the service was friendly and accommodating. A lot of potential exists for this place; they just need to evaluate the meat proportion in their tamales. " (*Curated Review*)

" My visit was decent, I tried the green chili vegetarian tamale and it was flavorful, however other than that, I found it to be a tad pricey. The atole was nice, but I feel there are better options nearby for less. " (*Curated Review*)

" Every time I come to Tamales Lupita I feel at home—the service is welcoming, and the flavors are spot on. The best part? The huge tamales that never disappoint. Their combination of authentic taste and cozy setting makes this place special. It can get busy but that speaks to just how good their offerings are! " (*Curated Review*)

" Wow! Tamales Lupita is a hidden gem in San Jose. Their atole flavors are unlike anything I've tasted before. The sweet potato atole paired with their savory tamales made for an unforgettable combo. The staff were exceptionally kind and helpful, answering all my questions about the different types of tamales. I had the chicken mole tamale - so good! I can't wait to bring my friends and family back. " (*Curated Review*)

" First time trying tamales from Tamales Lupita, and I was blown away! Each bite was packed with flavor, and the atoles were rich and delightful. I was impressed by the portion sizes too, definitely worth the price when considering the quality. Will return for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" Tamales Lupita deserves all the praise. The flavors are genuine and remind me of my grandmother’s kitchen. I currently live far away but whenever I'm back in town, this is the first stop. I love the variety available and especially the atole that just complements every tamale! A little slice of comfort in every bite. " (*Curated Review*)
