" We visited Tamales Mary during the weekend and it was busy, but the worth was every minute waiting! The buffet has a wide selection and showcases the bold flavors of authentic Mexican cuisine. I tried every tamale available and stood by the spicy salsa they provide! I was a bit disappointed when they ran out of dessert options, but I still left satisfied. The staff was delightful and made the whole experience pleasant. A must try if you love good tamales! " (*Curated Review*)

" I ordered for takeout and was slightly disappointed. The tamales were rather bland and the rice seemed dry. The service over the phone was okay, though they were a bit rushed during my call. When I arrived for pickup, the place seemed busy yet unorganized which added to my frustration. Would likely give them another shot since everyone else seems to rave about them! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had the pleasure of dining at Tamales Mary last weekend, and I was thoroughly impressed! The staff were welcoming and made me feel at home. The chicken tamales were juicy and rich in flavor, and the sauces were a wonderful addition. while the restaurant could use some updating decor-wise, the food compensates for it! I’m excited to return soon for their buffet! " (*Curated Review*)

" Amazing experience, I went on a Friday for lunch, and the atmosphere was vibrant! Everyone seemed to enjoy their meals, and I can understand why. I had the special of the day and also tried their chorizo tamales. The flavors were divine! I have already set plans to bring my family next weekend. Can’t wait to go back! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a gem of a restaurant! My family and I decided to go for the buffet, and it exceeded our expectations! The selection was varied, featuring tamales of different meats and flavors, each one tasting superbly fresh. The staff were attentive and we felt welcomed right away. I particularly loved the chicken and chorizo combinations! My only complaint was the seating was a bit cramped, but it didn’t ruin our experience overall. We are definitely coming back soon!

" Excellent place for a quick bite to eat! The takout from Tamales Mary was excellent. I went with the spicy pork tamale option, and it hit just the right notes for flavor. The staff were friendly. Walking back to my car was a challenge with the aroma wafting from my box. It was that good! I’ll be returning and trying items from their menu, as I’ve heard good things! " (*Curated Review*)

" The experience at Tamales Mary was memorable from start to finish! We arrived during the lunch rush but still managed to find a table. The staff efficiently handled the busy environment, serving us promptly and with a smile. I opted for their famous chorizo tamales, and they did not disappoint. The seasoning was perfect, and the accompanying beans were delicious as well. I even ordered another round as I couldn't get enough. I suggest their signature salsa for an added kick! I’m looking forward to bringing my family here next week! " (*Curated Review*)
