" Not the best experience this time. The tamales were a little dry and I couldn't really taste much of the filling. There were a few patrons being served after us that got their food faster. The service overall could use some improvement. I hope my next visit goes better! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had been hearing about this place for so long, and finally got a chance to visit! The tamales were very good, but I wish they were a bit spicier. The atmosphere is family-friendly and welcoming. Just be ready to wait a bit for your order, it can get busy! " (*Curated Review*)

" Every time I visit Tamales Liliana’s, I leave feeling satisfied! The authenticity of the food is commendable, and the service is generally quick. I always make sure to get the tamales as they are the real highlight. Just don't forget to order the champurrado for a delightful experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" Tamales Liliana’s has been on my radar for a while and it’s just as good as people say! I ordered the red pork and cheese tamales. They were so rich and flavorful, you could tell they were made with quality ingredients. The only issue was that we had to wait a bit longer for our food, but it was worth it. Can’t wait to return! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a fantastic experience overall! The tamales were delicious, but the highlight for me was the pozole. It had all the right spices and was perfect for a chilly day. The restaurant had a great vibe, making it a perfect spot to gather with friends. I highly recommend it! " (*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*)
