" I decided to try this restaurant after hearing so much buzz about their tamales. When I walked in, the smell took me right to Oaxaca! However, the service was a bit slower than I hoped, and there was a misunderstanding with my order. The food was delicious, but I left feeling a little frustrated with the experience overall. I would give it another shot because the food was fresh and flavorful. " (*Curated Review*)

" Tamales Oaxaqueños has quickly become one of my favorite restaurants! My recent visit did not disappoint. I had the red tamales and they were everything I hoped for and more. The flavors were bold, and the spices were perfectly balanced. My friend ordered the huaraches and raved about them all night. The environment is casual and relaxed, just the way I like it. Definitely recommend visiting! " (*Curated Review*)

" I just don’t get the hype. I mean, the place is definitely authentic and cozy, but I found the tamales to be a bit bland compared to others I’ve had. The service was nice enough, but I expected more from what I heard. They were fine, but I wouldn't recommend going out of your way to visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" This has become my go-to lunch spot. I love the homemade tortillas and the authentic flavors of their mole dishes. I've tried a few different things on the menu, and honestly, I’ve loved everything! The prices are reasonable, too. Wish they were open longer hours, though; sometimes I can’t make it in time after work! " (*Curated Review*)

" There are a couple of things I didn't enjoy, like the long wait time for the order. The food was generally good, but I had a better experience at other authentic places. They need to work on the service; I think that would elevate the dining experience for everyone. " (*Curated Review*)

" When it comes to authenticity, Tamales Oaxaqueños does not disappoint. You can taste that the dishes are made with love and care. The environment is comforting, and the staff is incredibly welcoming. I’ll recommend this spot to others! " (*Curated Review*)

" Oh wow, where do I begin? I came here on a recommendation and I was not disappointed. The pambazos were out of this world! I also tried their consome de chivo and I highly recommend it. The flavors were intense and the spices were just right. The atmosphere was cozy, and I was greeted like family. However, the seating was limited, so expect to wait during peak hours. I’ll definitely be returning soon! " (*Curated Review*)
