Hands Down The Best

We love tamales! The one thing we don't like is there is usually a little filling and a lot of outside. Not so here. We buy them 2 at a time and will continue to do so every week. They are delicious!

Great product and worth $1.16ea.

From packaging, flavor and value for the money this company has nailed it! I’m a huge fan. If you like pork, which in my opinion is the best for tamales, you won’t be disappointed.

Good Tamales

Really good tamales! Our go-to place for tamales closed, but I think these are even better! The tamales are large, with plenty of meat, the flavor is spot on, not too spicy. A good option when your tamale making skills are non-existent like mine!

Thank you for your feedback! We only use fresh ingredients to make our tamales (nothing from a can). We agree - they are kid approved and make an easy snack or meal for a busy family. Have a great day and a better tamale!

Very fresh tasting

Wow very surprised as to the taste. Other store bought brands do not taste fresh, these most certainly did. My husband is very picky about buying store bought tamales. He has never liked them because the freshness. Well here is my go to. Super

Some heat tamales

The pork tamales were good not the best that I have had. The filling had some heat and was flavorful. The masa was moist which I prefer. However, I prefer the pork filling to be shredded rather than ground. Otherwise, I will give it a medium rating because of the differences I noted above. In my opinion, they are just so so.

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..

As real as they get!

These are pretty legit! There is more meat than masa and the flavoring is good. They aren't dry either! If you're looking for a cheap and easy tamale and you're not fortunate enough to live near authentic Mexican food spots, these are a great option!

Best Tamales!

I love these tamales! They are vacuumed sealed as individual servings of 4 tamales with a total of 3 sealed packages in one bag. These are these best store bought tamales my husband & I have found. We are hooked on these now. Serve with rice & beans, sliced avocado and you have a meal from heaven.
