" Continuing my family's tradition of getting tamales for the holidays, we decided to stop by Liliana’s. As usual, they were a hit! The tamales were moist and filled generously; I particularly enjoyed the ones with green chili and cheese. The cozy atmosphere made family time even better. My only frustration was the parking; it’s challenging, especially on busy days. Overall, I can't recommend them enough if you love traditional Mexican food! " (*Curated Review*)

" Every time I visit Tamales Liliana's, I am greeted with vibrant flavors and welcoming service. This place serves heartwarming comfort food that is reminiscent of home. The tamales are made with love and are a must-try! They also have great flautas that you shouldn't miss. Just ensure to plan ahead for parking—it's always tricky! " (*Curated Review*)

" Wow! What a fantastic spot for tamales and more. My family visited on a Saturday afternoon and the food was superb. I ordered a variety of tamales, and each was better than the last. The staff was friendly and the service was pretty quick considering it was busy. If you love great, authentic Mexican food, don’t miss out on this gem! " (*Curated Review*)

" I finally visited Tamales Liliana’s after hearing so much about it, and it did not disappoint! The tamales were incredibly flavorful and the masa was perfectly cooked. I tried both the red pork and cheese versions, and they were the best I've had in the area. The only downside was the parking situation; it was tough to find a spot nearby. The ambiance was cozy but a bit crowded. Overall, I'll definitely be back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was really looking forward to enjoying the tamales, but unfortunately, they were lacking in flavor. The masa was dry, and you could hardly taste the filling. The service was also a disappointment; I felt ignored and had to wait a long time to place my order. I might not return after this experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was excited to try Tamales Liliana’s because I love tamales, but I was a bit let down this time. The food was decent but lacked the authentic flavors I was hoping for. The tamales were just okay, not bad but nothing special. The service was friendly but very slow, which made the visit less enjoyable. However, I might give it another shot in the future! " (*Curated Review*)

" Tamales Liliana’s has been my go-to since childhood! Their tamales remind me of my grandma's cooking. They offer a wide variety, and everything is homemade with love. During my last visit, I ordered the red pork tamales and they were outstanding! Service was a bit slow since it was a busy day, but the staff was friendly, which made up for it. If you are looking for authentic flavors in East LA, this is the place! " (*Curated Review*)
