Authentic and delicious!

Delicious and tastes homemade! They come packaged in 3 separate packages with 4 in each pack and fully cooked, so it's ready to heat and serve with very little prep needed. Can easily be a meal or a snack!

Tastes Great

This Tamale has a great taste, I prefer the masa to not be as thick. I like how they are packaged you get 3 air sealed packages of 4 tamales. I like this option as my husband and I can open 1 package and can put the other 2 in the freezer for later. I heated them in the microwave, very easy to reheat.

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.

Good for store bought tamales

These tamales can be boiled in the bag on the stove or placed in the microwave. I boiled in the unopened bag for about 20 minutes which was super easy and convenient. These tamales are good for store bought tamales, the pork is seasoned decently but definitely are not your grandmas homemade tamales made with love.

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.

Good tamales, not perfect… but good

These tamales are good! They were a little dry when eating them individually…. But we put them into tamale stuffing (it’s amazing) and they were the perfect addition. They have good flavor and just need to be cooked with steam to ensure they don’t dry out.

Tasty

These tamales were delicious! And they are huge! I really enjoyed these. They are simple to heat, just boil in the bag and they are good to go. The masa to meat ratio was good and the flavor was incredible. One tamale is probably about the size of two normal ones. The texture was good too; nice and consistent- not dry and not soggy. I would recommend these, they are very tasty.

Delicious Homemade Style Tamales

The flavor of these tamales was delicious! The massa had tons of flavor. The portions were way larger than I expected. Very filling, and an excellent ratio of filling to massa. The meat had a nice texture and was well-seasoned. The packaging was a plus, coming in three separate packs making it easy just to thaw and cook as needed. Overall I give it a 5 out of 5.

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.

Omg! Delicious Tamales!

OMG! These tamales are the best I ever had in my life. If cooked according to the directions for boiling they are tender, moist, and very flavorful. These tamales are super stuffed with meat with the right balance of masa. Great for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
