The flavor has changed, (ever heard of spices) why would change the recipe? The packaging also changed, not for the better. If you steam them which is the best way, they fall apart b4 you can transfer to serving dish.

Good flavor, not too spicy (for those of us who don't handle hot/spicy well), good texture of the tamales, and when heated according to instructions, they are not dry and bland.

Family makes delicious homemade tamales every year but this past December, we missed the homemade ones so we tried the ones from Sam’s. Purchased the beef tamales and they were very good.

Thick shell fatty filling

If you are craving tamales these are it. I recommend steaming them for best preparation. The microwave tends to dry out the masa.

Super dry, usually you can reheat tamales and they remain moist, but not these. They were dry and crumbly. Won’t be buying again. Very disappointed.

Decent for store bought. Nice if you're in a hurry & want something hot and not over processed for the fam. Only do one at a time.

They fell apart easily, but the flavor wasn’t so bad if steamed right. They were kind of leaky in the bag.

These were a really good find I Love the chicken tamales and the beef are good also they are easy and quick to cook

I have been looking for some great store bought tamales for years and havent been satisfied until now! Full of flavor, moist and fulfilling. I will always purchase these from now on.
