" What an incredible hidden gem in Little Rock! I stumbled upon Tamalcalli while looking for a quick bite and was blown away by the flavor of the food. The tamales were outstanding; I particularly enjoyed the mole tamale which was rich and savory. The only tiny downside was that there was a bit of a wait, but it was well worth it once the food arrived. The staff were super friendly, and the atmosphere felt very casual and fun. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" I decided to try Tamalcalli based on so many positive recommendations, and it did not disappoint! The atmosphere is inviting, with vibrant decorations that really make you feel like you're in a cozy Mexican cantina. I had the quesabirria tacos, which were filled with juicy meat and served with a delicious consommé that brought the whole dish together. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure I had everything I needed. Overall, a fantastic experience that I can’t wait to repeat! " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Tamalcalli was mostly positive! The food was flavorful, with a nice variety of tamale fillings to choose from. I tried the jalapeño cheese and the chicken mole tamales, and while the mole could have used a bit more oomph, the overall experience was enjoyable. The atmosphere was vibrant and energetic, perfect for a casual meal with friends. I'd definitely head back to try more items on the menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" Great atmosphere and even better food! I had their Costello's Burrito and it was massive. The portions justify the price. If you're searching for something authentic, this is definitely your place. The staff were friendly and helpful, making for a pleasant experience overall. " (*Curated Review*)

" I loved the environment at Tamalcalli, it was vibrant! They have a huge variety of tamales - I had the chicken and green salsa and it was divine! However, my friends said theirs were not as good. It felt like there could have been more consistency between dishes. Overall a great experience that I would repeat! " (*Curated Review*)

" Delicious Mexican food that reminds me of home. I had the chicken flautas which were crispy and flavorful. Just the right amount of spice! I enjoyed the lively atmosphere, but it did get a bit chaotic when busy. " (*Curated Review*)

" My visit to Tamalcalli was a little underwhelming. While the food tasted decent, it lacked the authentic Mexican flavors I was hoping for. The service was friendly, but the overall experience did not meet my expectations. " (*Curated Review*)
