" The Tamale House is a hidden gem! If you're craving authentic Mexican food, this is the place to go. The tamales are always fresh, large, and full of flavor. I particularly enjoyed the BBQ pork and the jalapeño options. The owners were super helpful and even made recommendations. Don't be fooled by the small size of the place; the food is a flavor explosion! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently visited the Tamale House during a busy lunch hour and was pleasantly surprised. The tamales were delicious, filled with authentic flavor, and the family running the place was so warm and welcoming to all customers. I hope they expand their menu as I would love to try new things! " (*Curated Review*)

" I really wanted to love this place, but it just didn't meet my expectations. While the tamales were decent, I've had better elsewhere. The service was a bit slow and unfriendly, which made for an overall disappointing experience. I might give them another chance in the future, but I need time to reconsider. " (*Curated Review*)

" Yum! Every time I come here, I leave happy and satisfied. The tamales always have that genuine flavor that reminds me of family gatherings. Service is friendly, and while the wait can be long, it’s always worth my time. I look forward to every visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes after hearing wonderful things, but my experience was just okay. The tamales were decent but not exceptional. Service needed improvement as I felt overlooked during my visit. I m sorry, but I might not recommend it as highly as I wanted to. " (*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! " (*Curated Review*)
