Don’t sleep on these

These are good!!! Put a little hot sauce on them. They are pretty big for what they are. They are easy to cook.

Padrino tamales

My wife and I have tried other brands ,and her being from Mexico , we’re here to say that these are the best ones we’ve ever had. Fried up in a little oil or even in the microwave hands down the best.

NASTY!!!

I was disappointed that Sam's brought in a new brand. But, I decided to give them a try...wish I didn't. Not much taste other than spicy grease. Hopefully they will bring back the old brand, or I will be forced to look elsewhere.

bring back the fresher not greasy Tamales

These are not what I expected. They super greasy and don’t taste that great. Sams used to have a non labeled brand that was not greasy at all. I had to throw the rest out

reply from Padrinofoods Team

We are sorry to hear that you were not happy with your experience. We make our tamales from only fresh ingredients. Our unique boil-in-bag packaging allows for the masa to not dry out and keeps the tamale moist. We hope you will give our tamales another chance. We appreciate your feedback. Have a great day, and a better tamale!

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.

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.

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.
