" Fabulous experience! The tamales were deliciously authentic—very different from fast food Mexican! I tried the green chicken tamales and loved every bite of it. It’s a great spot if you’re in a hurry, as they serve quickly. I appreciate their commitment to using authentic recipes, which is hard to find. The area can feel a bit busy and loud, so it might not be ideal for a romantic meal, but it's perfect for grabbing food with friends. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" Food was truly authentic at Cafeteria La Loma! Their chicken mole tamales were one of the most delightful things I've tasted in ages. They are a little pricier than some places, but definitely worth every penny. I ordered takeout, and while the space was super busy, it taught me that great food attracts a crowd! I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for traditional Mexican flavors. " (*Curated Review*)

" Delighted by the authentic tastes at Cafeteria La Loma! I ordered a variety of their tamales, and each one was a joy to savor. The service was friendly, and I particularly appreciated their focus on using traditional methods in their cooking. While the seating is limited, the quality of food more than compensates for that! This is definitely a great treat for anyone craving authentic Mexican food. " (*Curated Review*)

" My first experience at Cafeteria La Loma was fantastic! I tried the pollo tamales and they were deliciously made—honestly, the best I've had in a while. I truly appreciate the friendliness of the staff and how they made me feel welcome! While the atmosphere could be improved (a little crowded), the tamales made up for it tenfold. I will definitely be coming back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Cafeteria La Loma is a hidden treasure! The tamales are authentic and made with quality ingredients, which shines through in every bite. The combo of their savory and sweet options caters to all tastes. Sure, it’s a small place, but that only adds to its charm. I might have to start a weekly tradition of grabbing my lunch here. Already excited for the next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" Cafeteria La Loma feels like home! The tamales are not only good, but everything feels so comforting. Their overall approach to making food is genuine, and the quality shows. I also loved their sweet tamales catered to my sweet tooth. While it’s often busy, that just proves how popular they are! Will definitely be a frequent visitor! " (*Curated Review*)

" Cafeteria La Loma offers an amazing selection but I’m always drawn back to their spicy pork tamales. They have perfectly balanced flavors and you can tell everything is made with care. I did encounter some delays during my last visit as they were busy, but I can’t complain about the food at all. Just be sure to get there early to grab your favorites, as they do sell out fast!
