Quick & Fast

I'm going to be so mad if these get taken out of the stores because I've bought them 2 or 3 times so far and given some away to family. They are boil in bag so they're really easy to make for lunch or a really fast dinner. I know they're not *homemade* but for a premade tamale, I think they've got great flavor.

Meaty & Flavorful

Delicious tamales. Full of tender pork & highly seasoned in a good way. They are a bit greasy but fat is flavor. Tremendous value. I hope Sam's continues to carry them because I will continue to buy them! Love!!

Padrino Tamales

These are the best tamales I have had in years! They are easy to prepare by package of 4 into boiling hot water for about 20minutes. The bag has a total of 12 tamales packed 3 packages of 4in each bag. They are wrapped in corn husks that keeps masa firm and plenty of meat in each tamale. Excellent product! I hope Sam's Club keeps them in stock.

So Yummy!

I took these for a potluck at church and they were a hit! After heating them in the convenient boil-in bag, I transferred them to a crockpot to keep warm until lunch time after church. People asked who made them because they thought they were homemade! Wasn't a single tamale left.

The best pork tamales on the market

The tamales are some of the best microwavable tamales I've ever had. I enjoy eating pork tamales over beef tamales due to that I have gout cannot have any red meat with gout that's why I eat pork but these are some of the best tamales I can eat two of them and be filled.

Wow! Delicious!

Wow! Sorry mom, but these are the best tamales I think i have ever had. I am Hispanic and have been eating tamales my whole life and these are excellent. They are so full of flavor and are not overwhelmed by the masa. They are super stuffed and just two are enough for a meal. I will most certainly buy more.

Very good. Not too spicy, just a little oily

These tamales had a nice flavor. They had an undertone of heat; not too much for this sensitive mouth. A little sour cream helps. They were easy to heat up. Will by again.

Great homemade style tamales!

The flavors were on point! The portions were larger than I expected. Very filling, and an excellent ratio of filling to massa. The meat was tender and well-seasoned. The packaging was good, but it was clear how oily the contents were as there was a thick layer of oil coating the inside of each boil-in-bag pouch. I prepared 4 in the microwave, but ended up only eating 2 in one sitting. I refrigerated the other 2 for later. The meat tasted excellent, the only issue I hat was finding solid pieces of cartilage and other mystery bits in the filling. It was clear to be homemade and very authentic to homemade. It did not necessarily spoil my appetite for the food however it did have me question quality control to some degree. The others were fine and really did not have much of cartilage or any other external items in the filling. The only thing about finding those pieces in it is that I would be hesitant to give these to my small children as there may be pieces they could choke on. Of course meat is meat, and as long as we know everything is all natural and playerful there really should not be a problem. Overall I give it a 5 out of 5 bought due to the oiliness and the issue with the cartilage joint piece that I found, it was a little off putting and I removed one star from the overall rating. I'm sure with increased quality control these issues can be resolved. Honestly the oily nature makes it seem more authentic!

Needs more taste

Needed a more meat on the tamales, it had too much masa and chili than pork . Also the taste was more commercial than actual homemade taste. I've taste better store bought tamales with a better taste.
