Gristle, cartilage and bone bits

Nicely packaged in 3 four-packs ready for boiling in bag. However, the product had quite a bit of unwelcome gristle, cartilage, and bone bits. Need much better quality control.

Quick and easy

Got these tamales and had to get the pot cooking, the kids loved them these tamales are tasty very close to a fresh made tamale. There were so many there was leftovers. I would definitely buy these again

Not just meat in these tamales

I’ve purchased these several times in the past, but this latest batch has chunks of gristle, cartilage and even what appears to be intestines. I’m completely grossed out.

Greasy

Greasy and over seasoned. The filling had to much waste - gristle, etc. The seasoning overpowered the tamale, was unable to taste the masa on its own. I would not recommend or repurchase this item.

Very good, easy to make

Easy and delicious. These are perfect for the build it at home combo plate. Add some red or green chile and you are back in the desert Southwest. A must in the freezer.

Delicious and convenient

These pork tamales are delicious. They’re my daughter’s favorite food and it can be hard to track down good tamales, but finding these has made it easy to have them on hand. They’re extremely easy to heat up and they are great, even my picky husband enjoys them!!

Flavorful!

Some of the most delicious tamales I've ever had. I recommend to take these out of the plastic packaging and pressure cook on high for about 20 min. They came out moist and flavorful. My family loved that these were ground pork rather than shredded pork.

Cheaper than fast food

These are legit tamales. Perfect balance of meat to masa and very flavorful. Yes, tamales are on the dry side so you need a sauce to top it off, recommend using an enchilada sauce after you remove the husk. My family is picky when it comes to precooked meals and all agree these are great. We also added a small amount of cheese and served with refried beans. Total cost to feed 5 adults was under $20 for dinner.

Fresh & Delicious

Padrino pork Tamales are both fresh and taste delicious. These tamales come in easy-tear packaging, the vacuum-sealed bag keeps it fresh and at just the right moisture level. It is super easy to cook these tamales too, all you need is to thaw them in the fridge for a few hours or use the deforest option on the microwave. After the tamales are deforested microwave for an additional 4-5 minutes and your tamales will be hot and ready! This product will be perfect for anyone who needs a quick snack or even for a party.

So good, a new household favorite!

I wasn't sure I would like these, the ingredients list a lot of peppers and I am not a fan of those. Turns out they are finely chopped and I didn't notice them, and I loved the Tamales! Easy to heat up, so yummy to eat. My husband loved them too, we are thrilled to have an easy new great tasting dinner option!
