" I went on a busy Sunday morning and the line was long! But it was worth the wait. The chilaquiles were fantastic, and I loved the hint of spice. However, the tamales were a bit of a letdown since they were a bit dry and lacked filling. The vibe of the place is really fun, and the staff tried their best to keep everything running smoothly despite the rush. I will be back, but hopefully, the tamales will be better next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was really excited to visit this restaurant after hearing so many good things about it. The atmosphere was inviting, but sadly the food didn't live up to the hype for me. While the tamales had decent flavor, the portion sizes felt meager compared to the price I paid. Service was friendly but not very attentive. I might give it another shot in the future, hoping for a better experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" A delightful find! The tamales are authentic, and the serving sizes are just right. It reminded me of my grandmother's kitchen, making me feel nostalgic. The atmosphere was cozy but a bit noisy at times with all the patrons. Overall, I was happy with my meal, but I hope the service improves a bit next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Tried this place for the first time today. The food was tasty, but I was a bit disappointed by the portion sizes. The tamales were good, but the second one didn't have as much filling. The atmosphere is cute, and the servers were friendly. I'd be open to coming back, as the prices are reasonable. " (*Curated Review*)

" Oh my goodness, the food here is phenomenal! The flavors felt truly authentic, like something you would find in a local spot in Mexico. I had the chicken tamales which were delicious, but the portion was not very satisfying for the price. The ambience was very nice, and I appreciated the friendly staff. Overall, strong flavors make up for the small portions. I’ll certainly be back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" Tamales Guadalajara has won me over! I visited after hearing glowing recommendations from friends, and it did not disappoint. The place buzzes with activity, and the décor is simple yet charming, making it feel very authentic. I tried the menudo and the chilaquiles verdes, and both dishes transported me straight to my grandmother's kitchen. My only complaint was that the wait staff could have been more attentive, but the food made up for it. I highly recommend this spot to anyone craving authentic Mexican cuisine. " (*Curated Review*)

" I came in expecting amazing tamales given the restaurant’s name, but I left feeling quite disappointed. The portion was mostly masa with very little filling, which I found baffling. I was also slightly annoyed that they charged extra for the salsa when dining in. The atmosphere is nice, but unfortunately, my overall experience suffered due to the food quality. I wouldn’t come back unless I heard public consensus change. " (*Curated Review*)
