If you are a tamale lover, give these a try. I bought these in hopes they might be OK. They are more than OK, they are delicious. They come packed in groups of four inside a seal-a-meal type bag. Place a bag in boiling water for 25 minutes and you will have 4 perfectly done tamales when you remove them from the bag!

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.

Recived the Padrino tamales today via FedX. They arrived in a styraphom cooler with ice. They come 4 tamles to a pack, pack of the for 12 tamales total. We took one pack unopened and place it in boiling water for 20 minutes. Took them out and they were right over 165°. I was skeptical, never had tamales this way. They are good. The masa and meat have a wonderful flavor and the masa to meat ratio is perfect. My son who lives his grandma's tamales gave them an 8.5 out of ten. I like that you can make four at a time. Just enough to get a tamales fix without all the labor. Will be keeping Padrino Tamales in the freezer. Really impressed with the eash of heating up and the flavor.

Mmm... Padrino Pork Tamales, each one of these athentic tamale are Huge! Packaging is portioned into four seperate boil in bags of four tamales, each wrapped in corn husks, perfect for the two of us. EXCELLENT taste EASY preperation... Equals YUMmm...

I was really surprised and pleased with the quality of these tamales. Seasoning is spot on, filling is well proportioned with the masa dough. For extra sauce I used the local grocery store house brand of enchilada sauce. Easy to heat and serve straight from the microwave. Satisfies my need for Mexican food without leaving home.

I want to start off with packaging for the 12 count tamales! They are in three separate vacuum sealed bags!! You don’t have to eat all at once. Awesome for refrigerating! I popped one bag in the microwave and followed instructions, and let me tell you worked like a charm. Now let’s go on to the tamale, pretty big and decent! I would say a TexMex tamale, a lot more filling then other tamales. I bought and I’ve tasted from the stores or from street vendors. Definitely very filling and flavorful, picky teenage son gobbled them right up. This would be a solid buy. Only one con, a little greasy. Kudos!

Great favor, pently of filling, not overloaded with Masa

Tamales are a bit greasy but I liked them

Always a winner

Seems a little spicy
