" What a treat! I stopped by Cafeteria La Loma and ordered a variety of tamales to taste. Each one was a delightful surprise, and you can’t beat the value for the quality you receive. I found the staff to be friendly and accommodating, particularly when helping me figure out what to order. The only downside is the limited seating available, which is understandable given the popularity! I'll surely return whenever I'm back in town! " (*Curated Review*)

" Every time I think of tamales, Cafeteria La Loma comes to mind! Their classic flavors and authenticity are unmatched—it instantly takes me back to my grandmother's kitchen. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable about the menu, which helps when deciding what to try. The ambiance might be simple, but the flavors are anything but. Considering the quality of food, I’d prioritize them over the trendy places anytime! " (*Curated Review*)

" Every time I visit Minnesota, Cafeteria La Loma is a must-visit for me! Their authenticity shines through in every dish they serve. I had the mole tamales and found the flavors spot-on. The service is always quick, which I appreciate since I tend to grab and go. The only downside is that there is limited space, but I usually take mine to go anyway. Overall, truly a gem in the Twin Cities! " (*Curated Review*)

" I just love Cafeteria La Loma! The tamales are warm and comforting, packed with flavor. The staff is always friendly and helpful. I did wish there were more seating options since it gets crowded, especially on weekends. But honestly, the food is worth it. My favorite is the sweet tamales that remind me of summer festivals back in Mexico. Can't wait for my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" I discovered Cafeteria La Loma by chance, and I was completely blown away! Their tamales are fantastic, with rich flavors and a touch of authenticity that really speaks to the heart of Mexican cuisine. I tried the sweet corn tamales and they were simply divine! Just be prepared for a little wait during busy hours, but trust me, it's worth it if you love good food. Can’t wait to return! " (*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!
