" Blanquitas is my go-to for all my tamale cravings! The food is straightforward but delicious. Each tamale I’ve had has been flavorful and filling. I do wish they had more side options though. The service is generally friendly, but it can be hit or miss at busy times. Still, it's worth the stop for those tamales! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're in the mood for tamales, Blanquitas is the place to go! I ordered a variety platter to share with friends and we were taken aback by how generous the portions were. Each tamal was packed with delicious filling and tasted freshly made. We loved how friendly the staff was too. They clearly take pride in their food, and it shows! I can’t wait to go back and explore more of their menu. " (*Curated Review*)

" Blanquitas has a special place in my heart! Their tamales are always fresh, flavorful, and just the right amount of spice. The chicken ones paired with their homemade salsa are my favorites! The service is usually good; friendly staff that makes you feel welcomed. It’s a charming little spot that’s worth the visit if you’re a tamale lover! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a decent experience at Blanquitas. The food was good but nothing out of the ordinary. I enjoyed the tamales, but I was hoping for a little more variety on the menu. The staff were polite but could be more attentive. If you just want a quick meal, this place will do, but don't expect a fine dining experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" Every time I visit Blanquitas, I find something new to love! The tamales are always fresh and still warm. They have a wide variety to choose from, and each one has its unique spin that keeps things exciting. The service is generally quick, but expect some delays during peak hours. Overall, it's my favorite tamale spot in town! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently ventured into Blanquitas Tamales and what a treat it was! The tamales had a rich and authentic taste. I ordered some pork and they were full of flavor, not dry at all. The staff was friendly and quick to serve us, even during a busy lunchtime. I highly recommend giving this place a visit, especially if you're craving some traditional Mexican flavors. " (*Curated Review*)

" Tried Blanquitas for the first time and wow, their tamales are truly a treat! The flavors are spot on, and you can tell they use quality ingredients. The staff was friendly and recommended their special sauce, which made everything even better. The only downside was the limited seating, but I think it's worth the wait. I’ll definitely be coming back for more! " (*Curated Review*)
