" Friendly staff and very tasty food! The tamales were my favorite, and the chilaquiles came in second. Everything felt fresh, and the flavors were vibrant. Looking forward to my next visit for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" Delicious! Their tamales are a must-try, and I loved the variety of options available. The staff was super friendly and kept the place clean. I noticed that they use fresh ingredients, which made a difference in taste. However, it felt a little cramped. I would recommend getting there early to secure a table. Overall great experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" We stumbled upon this restaurant and it was a delightful surprise! The food was authentic Mexican, and everything we ordered was spot-on. Customer service was amazing; they went above and beyond to please us. I highly recommend the tongue tacos and cheese enchiladas! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was pleasantly surprised by my experience at Tamales Oaxaqueños! The tamales were without a doubt some of the best I've had outside of Mexico. They were perfectly moist and packed with flavor, especially the green ones wrapped in banana leaves. The staff was friendly and provided quick service despite the restaurant being busy. I can't wait to go back and explore more of the menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high expectations but left feeling a bit let down. While the food was good (the tamales were nice), the service left a lot to be desired. It took ages for my order to be taken, and I had to remind them about my drink several times. The tamales were authentic, but overall, I don’t think I’d return due to the slow service. Hoping it was just an off day. " (*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*)
