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.

Suprisingly Delicious

Went in low expectations since we make our own which are truely authentic. The flavor is great and are far above and beyond what you get at a restaurant. The masa amount is about the perfect ratio and a generous amount of meat. 2 tamles per adult is about right.

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!

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!

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!

Amazing

Amazing tamales! They are huge and have a ton of meat. Meat is so full of favor. If you like bland food these aren’t for you. Even the masa has a flavor of their own. Tamales are packaged in 3 separate packages so they don’t have to be cooked all at the same time.

Don't judge a tamale by its husk

I was on the fence about these, but when you're craving some tamales, you give it a try. They were easy to warm up and they looked a little on the greasy/oily side BUT let me say, that couldn't have been further from the truth. They did not taste oily/greasy AND they tasted delicious! They tasted homemade and I would have thought my grandma made them. My husband and daughter loved them as well. It was a great dinner! Easy and delicious.

Not authentic

The tamales were bland. Meat texture was weird.

Padrino Tamales

The meat is finely ground over spiced and not good taste. When you try to serve them they crumble
