Great Tamales

The tamales are some of the best store bought tamales that we have tried. They are well stuffed with meat and are easy to prepare using the included packaging. Just drop the tamales into a pot of boiling water while still in the packaging and they are ready in 15 minutes.

Tamales On The Go!!

Decent, but nothing like a real tamale. I’m a big fan of tamales, and I know people who make amazing ones, so I was a bit skeptical about these. I wasn’t surprised that they didn’t taste as good as some of the others I’ve tried, but I was pretty impressed with the pork tamale flavor. They’re smaller than the ones I’ve had before, and they don’t have as much flavor, but they’re great for frozen tamales. Although the flavor isn’t exactly right, these make for a great meal if you’re not expecting the real deal. All in all, I would eat these again because they’re okay when you don’t want to make them yourself if you aren’t expecting to eat them at home.

Verified Purchase

Very good for store bought

I used to get tamales from a friend Eberto. His mom made them every few weeks which was a special treat. She is no longer making them though. Compared to restaurant tamales, these are much better..almost as good as hers. These are easy to heat and clean up. There are three vacuum pack bags of four. Put bag in boiling water for 15-20 minutes. Add sour cream and hot sauce, you are ready to go. Give them a try. Just don’t take the last bag so it will be there for me..

Authentic tasting store bought

I prepared these tamales for dinner last night. Instructions are pretty simple to follow. I chose the boil method. They are sectioned off in four tamale sealed packages. I was not expecting these tamales to grow while cooking. When I pulled them out of the package they were huge and had all the good grease looking juice that comes with great flavorful tamales. I put two on my plate but I believe one tamale would be enough for most people. The filling did have ingredients you could actually see in them. Taste wise this might be a little bit on the spicier end. I would by again.

Super yummy and authentic tamales

These tamales are so so good. They were super easy to make, from freezer to plate in 20 mins. Just need to boil the plastic packet with the tamales for 20 mins on the stove top and they will come out perfect. They had great flavor and tasted very authentic to me. They tasted fresh, not like frozen meal. Almost too good, wanted another serving .

Yummy Tamales

I was excited to see this product, I love tamales and it seemed like a great quick meal. Guess what I was right ! It was so easy to drop the bag in boiling water to cook. These came out moist and full of flavor. Paired with rice and beans and you have yourself a full meal. I hope to see other flavors soon. So if you need a quick meal this is a great buy. Enjoy

Super good tamales!

The Padrino pork tamales were really really good! Very nice size - big and full of meat very tasty and held together well! We heated them in a boiling pot of water, still in their package (4 tamales) and still frozen. It took right around 20 minutes but totally worth the wait! After the 20 minutes we simply removed the husk and plated them with some salsa, cheese and a side salad! Delicious!

good tamales

I had the tamales for breakfast as personal preference and also shared with others to get their opinion as well. as soon as I warmed it up it smelled delicious. the taste is good. they are not spicy which is good for me. not the best I've had. It was too greasy for me and my friends. the texture of the masa was good and delicious. It has pieces of fat from the meat, jalapeno seeds and onions which is not my preference. The meat tastes good. But they are store bought so over all they are good.

Easy to cook

I like to review new to me products but this one has me a bit stumped. I like tamales and have always had them fresh made and steamed. If you have ever made them you know it takes a little time. I was thinking quick and easy but I am not sure about the texture. These are boil in the bag and that had been different for me.

reply from Padrinofoods Team

Thank you for your review. You are right, making tamales is a very labor intensive process. We work hard to take that labor out of the process for our customers. The vacuum sealed bag allows for our tamales to stay moist and fresh through the cooking process (plus it makes kitchen clean-up a breeze!). We hope you give our tamales another try. Have a great day and a better tamale!

Delicious and Full of Flavor

These tamales were delicious! The tamales were super easy to prepare, and pairs great with many other foods (I paired it with chicken tortilla soup). The pork was full of flavor as well. The tamales remind me of the tamales that come from authentic Mexican food restaurants.
