" I can confidently say that the tamales here are the best I've ever tasted! The flavor is spot on, reminding me of family gatherings. Highly recommend the cheese and jalapeno tamales; they pack a delightful punch of flavor. The owners are incredibly friendly and treat you like family. I'll definitely be coming back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" Delicious tamales, although I had a bit of an unfortunate experience with my order. They forgot my extra salsa, and I had to wait longer than expected. However, the tamales were worth the wait! The portions are large and filling, making it a good value for the price. I would come back but hope for better service next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Great flavor and generous portions. The tamales are somewhat large, and you really feel like you're getting your money's worth. However, I had an odd experience with the service staff. While mostly pleasant, one of the owners seemed distracted and a bit cranky. Despite this, I will come back for the food! " (*Curated Review*)

" The atmosphere here is charmingly rustic, and the owners are incredibly hardworking. The tamales are filling and delicious. I particularly liked the BBQ pork tamales; they were very flavorful! However, make sure to call ahead because they do sell out quickly! " (*Curated Review*)

" Delicious! I can't get over how fantastic the tamales are here. They're huge and packed with flavor. The cheese & jalapeño is definitely a standout. Make sure to get extra salsa for dipping! Friendly service, and I appreciate the genuine warmth from the owners. You won't leave hungry, that's for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" It's a cozy little spot with a homey feel. The tamales are delicious, but my last visit had a couple of hiccups with the service. They forgot part of my order and were a bit brusque when I asked about it. Despite this, the taste of the tamales remained top-notch, and I know they care about their food. " (*Curated Review*)

" After trying many tamales across Portland, I can confidently say that Tamale House serves the most authentic ones! The masa is just right, and the filling is generous without being overwhelming. The family that runs the place is warm and welcoming, making it feel like home. The only downside was the minor wait time, but it was worth every minute. Highly recommend if you want the real deal!
