I was raised in California (SD) so had plenty of tamales growing up and these were delicious. Idk why the bad reviews. Maybe because y’all put it in the microwave? It wasn’t too greasy, but there was some to be expected because of the pork. It’s like asking for pork chops or bacon with zero fat. Impossible my friends. Do the boil in bag method, you will have the best results. Great breakfast topped with shredded cheese and a fried egg.

These tamales are terrible. They are so greasy and somehow don’t have much flavor. The quality of the meat is very poor too. Lots of gross, chewy chunks of fat and hard bits. The previous tamales were more dry, but much better quality. I won’t be buying these again.

We moved from the West Coast to the South and our love for authentic Mexican food left us with our head in our hands because here, they smother everything in white cheese sauce and call it Mexican. We came across Padrino Foods tamales at Sam's Club and were amazed and delighted not only were they delicious and authentic, but the company and its employees are genuinely dedicated to producing authentic Mexican tamales with love and care. They are passionate about their product and we wanted to share it with you. If you love Mexican food (especially tamales), you CANNOT PASS THESE BY and not pick up a pack or two! Make some homemade Mexican rice and beans and let the dancing in the kitchen begin!

Initially, we liked the tamales. That is, until we found something that was shaped like a small button mushroom. Looked at the ingredients and there are no mushrooms so I can only assume it was unground animal parts. So gross to see that. Will not purchase again.

These things just taste terrible. Don’t waste your money!!!

Best pre-made tamales I've ever had. If I didn't know any better, I'd swear they were homemade.

Greasy and not much tasted Previous brand was much better

The Sam's club buyers must have been sampling the tequila before trying these tamales, they are really awful.

Awesome. Easy. Tasty. a bit too spicy for my kids. SC, please do not remove these from the store!

Tasted like dried out old meat. We ate 2 apiece, barely, then threw out the rest. Waste of money. Very disappointed.
