Tamales

I bought these thinking they would taste like the other brand you use to sell. These are not those the meat taste artifical and the spices are overpowering.

enjoyed the Tamales

The Tamales were flavorful. Slightly dry the first time but let the second batch rest in the juices for a while before eating them. They are meaty and filling! We enjoyed them with salsa and sour cream. We’ll order them again.

Yuckie Grizzle!

Nearly every bite had grizzle blobs! I am usually tolerant of some of that but this was over the top disgusting texture! I can't believe anyone would purchase these a second time...

Not Good

I thought that, since Sam's carried these, they would be good. I've had my share of tamales in my life, from home-made to store-bought, and these were some of the worst.

I lived near the Mexican border years ago and ate in Mexico at least 3 times a week. These are the closest premade tamales to the fresh ones you find in Mexico. The spices are spot-on.

These tamales are the real deal!!

These tamales are fresh, tasty, and authentic! Easy to prepare and way to easy to eat! They are great for serving a crowd and we always have them at our holiday dinner table.

Skeptical, but impressed!

I bought these honestly expecting them to be a dud. These actually turned out to be REALLY good! We will definitely be buying them again. I highly suggest giving them a try.

Greasy, ground pork, tastes like chili

These tamales are extremely greasy, they used ground pork, and the filling tastes like canned chili. I can't taste the masa at all. The brand Sam's had before were actually good. These I will not buy again.

Awesome Tamales!

Finally! Some decent tamales. The previous brand was tasteless. I’ve been buying these for quite some time in half dozen packs from Wholefoods. Happy to be able to buy them by the dozen!
