Bone, Gristle, Fat

These were disgusting. Would definitely not recommend. They use to carry Del Rio but as usual, get rid of the good stuff. Really like chicken, green chile cheese but never have. This brand? Just say no

BETTER THAN MOST MEXICAN RESTAURANTS

Better than most mexican restaurants (YES, even 'Authentic' hole in the wall restaurants). Of course I'd rather buy them from the 'tamale lady', but these are hands down the best, ESPECIALLY frozen.

Wow! Nasty Tamales!!

I was expecting something that would resemble pork not a mushy meat loaf filling. Greasy and very, very salty. Ate 2 since it was my dinner but the rest are going back to Sam's.

Don't Buy!

I have purchased these a couple of times but will not anymore! I found whole pieces of what appear to heart ventricles and there was another blob of something very fatty with it. I'm totally disgusted!

These are horrible. They are dry, salty and the flavor is weird. I can't say anything good about them. They have been given a proper burial in my trash can.

Great Product!

Very authentic tamales. One of our staples from Sam’s Club. They have been out of stock for awhile here. If they stop carrying them we may have to rethink our membership.

Mushy and oily

I like that the instructions are simple and fast but if you're looking for good quality tamales this isn't it. If you're looking for something fast or to curb a craving this may work but the texture of the meat is mushy and oily, almost like the tamales from a can.

Tamales

they have a good flavor, bit greasy, very large, my biggest issue and it makes me want to give it less then 3 stars....these are pork tamales and in texas you can find them everywhere---here they are made smaller and there is never like bone splinters in the pork.....even when i make tamales i use pork shoulder/butt and ive never had splinters of anything in my tamlales----not sure if i want to eat the other 2 packs (fixed one of the packages and i boiled in the bag).

buy these

I absolutely love these. I considered buying them and having them shipped from the company and then found out they were at sams! What a joyous day. I keep some in the freezer for quick meals with rice and beans. Nice texture and flavor. Gentle spice but not enough too much for my kids.

worth trying A+

I did not have high expectations but I wanted to try these and I am so glad I did. These tamales are so tasty and flavorful. I did enjoy them. I would recommend them and they are so easy to pop in the microwave to heat and eat. A little sour cream and this is 98% A plus. I am happy with this purchase.
