" I’ve hit almost every taco truck in Portland, but this one stands out brilliantly! The tamales are soft and flavorful, and the mole is the shining star of the meal. I felt completely satisfied with my portion size. Service was great, serving the food quickly despite a packed crowd. Definitely on my recommended list! " (*Curated Review*)

" Food was tasty, and the service was good. However, I felt the atmosphere could use some work; it felt a little cluttered. The tamales were delightful though, especially the vegetarian one. I would recommend it for takeout to really enjoy the food without the fuss of the ambiance. " (*Curated Review*)

" The tamales we had at Los Tamales Locos were phenomenal! They brought me back home with their authentic taste, and the mole was rich and delicious. The vegetarian tamale I tried was equally impressive. I can't speak highly enough about this place—it's a gem in Portland’s food scene! " (*Curated Review*)

" Los Tamales Locos does an outstanding job with their tamales. I tried the pork and chicken, both served with a fantastic mole. The portions, especially for the price, are generous. Service was friendly, although the wait time was a bit long because of the demand. I saw a few reviews mentioning vegetarian options; I’d love to see that too! " (*Curated Review*)

" Los Tamales Locos has truly stolen my heart (and stomach!). Each tamale is made with such care and authentic ingredients—it’s like taking a bite of Mexico! The mole is absolutely brilliant, and I find myself craving their food during every meal prep. I’m a fan for life, and honestly recommend it to everyone I've met! " (*Curated Review*)

" 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*)
