" Had a lovely takeout experience from Los Tamales Locos! The freshness of the food truly lifted my spirits. Each tamale we ordered was packed with flavor. There was a slight wait, but that’s to be expected; the food came out fresh and hot. I would recommend trying the mole—it’s delightful! " (*Curated Review*)

" Discovered this place thanks to a friend's recommendation! I was initially worried due to the location, but the food blew me away.

" I had high hopes when visiting Los Tamales Locos based on the reviews, and I can honestly say I was not disappointed. The tamales were perfectly made - moist and full of flavor. The staff was friendly even during the busy lunchtime rush, and the ambiance was charmingly rustic. I highly recommend the chicken tamale with sauce. Will definitely be back! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had heard so much about this place and finally decided to try it. The flavors didn't quite live up to the hype for me, though everyone said the chicken tamales were the best. The service was decent, and the atmosphere was fine but not memorable. What I did appreciate was the quick service. " (*Curated Review*)
