" Stopped by for a quick bite and I fell in love with their tamales. So fresh and warm! I ordered the cheese and green chili tamale and it was everything I hoped for and more. The staff was pleasant and very accommodating, made recommendations that really hit the spot. I can't express how happy I am to have found this gem! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was not impressed with my visit to Blanquitas Tamales. While the ambiance was decent, the food left much to be desired. My chicken tamales lacked meat and were quite bland. Though the place seemed clean, I felt that the service was not up to par, as we waited longer than expected for our order. I wish I could say my experience was better, but unfortunately, I won’t be returning. " (*Curated Review*)

" Disappointing experience overall. The tamales were dry, and the service was slow. I had to wait quite some time even though the place was not busy. It’s regrettable because I had high hopes given the many positive reviews. I might give them another try in the future, but for now, I’m not impressed. " (*Curated Review*)

" The tamales here transported me back home! It's hard to find authentic Mexican food done right, and Blanquitas nails it. Each bite was filled with flavor, and the warmth from the service made the experience even better. I truly felt welcomed. If you're in the Chicago area, this place is worth a visit. Also, their champurrado is a delightful bonus for breakfast! " (*Curated Review*)

" I have been going to Blanquitas for years and it never disappoints! The tamales are consistently some of the best I’ve had, with incredible flavors. The green sauce served on the side is a must-try! While the inside can be quite simple, the true star is the food. Service tends to be quick but can get a little slow on weekends. Make sure to go early if you want to avoid waiting too long. Overall, a fantastic spot for authentic tamales. " (*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*)
