" I wanted to love this place, but my experience was not great. Some of the tamales were undercooked and had an odd texture. Although the flavors were decent, the raw masa seriously affected my appetite. I could overlook a lot, but I can’t compromise on food safety. I probably won’t return unless I hear things improve. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently visited this tamaleria after seeing so many great reviews, and I have mixed feelings. While the tamales had good flavors, I found them a bit dry. The service could have been better too; the staff seemed overwhelmed even though it wasn’t that busy. I'd give it another chance, but I hope they improve. " (*Curated Review*)

" I've got to say I adore their tamales! The richness of flavors is commendable, and the green ones steal the show! It’s a small, simple joint but what it lacks in frills, it makes up in taste and authenticity. They understand what good tamales should taste like. I’ll be coming back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Tamales con amor! That's the best way to describe La Fortaleza! This family-run business serves the most incredible tamales I have ever tasted. They’re rich with fillings and bursting with authentic flavors that remind me of home. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, making it a perfect way to enjoy authentic Mexican cuisine. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" I’m a tamale enthusiast, and I’ve tried countless places, but this one truly stands out. The variety here is unmatched! The green rajas tamales were a delightful surprise, and the chef clearly knows how to pack them with flavor. The staff were friendly, though they seemed quite busy during my visit. I’ll be back to try more! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high expectations after hearing about this place, and it did not disappoint! The tamales are super flavorful and come in various styles. I particularly loved the green chicken ones; they were packed with meat and just the right amount of spice. A small cozy spot that makes you feel at home. Will definitely return!
