I'm a Mexican American woman who usually gets out carnitas from our local Mexican food store, and it's usually about $6 per pound. However, every time we get it from there, they give you large chunks of fat and gristle, which just ruins it. After trying a sample of these carnitas inside sam's club, we thought we'd buy a batch. No regrets because both me, my mama and my hubby LOVED these carnitas! I want to buy a huge supply now. I just wonder if I can freeze them so I can stock up. They have an expiration date of a couple months, but who knows how long they'll be available. We eat them with El Milagro corn tortillas, cilantro, lime and avocado. Plus a side of my mom's Mexican rice. The perfect dinner after an ice storm.

For only $13 plus tax I got 2 pounds of well seasoned pork. I warmed slowly in a iron skillet. Then I used my shredder claws to pull it apart. The 1st meal we ate the pork in flour tortillas, 2nd meat we made a nice crunchy taco salad. The meat was very tender and very lean. You could use it in the original chunks and pair with potatoes and veggies. So many options!

They had samples sonI knew it was going to be delicious. But so was still surprised at how tender and flavorful it is. We put our package in the freezer where it sat for probably 3 months. I took it out yesterday and let thaw in the counter until i was ready to prepare. It was still somewhat frozen when i heated up in the microwave. I cut slits in the pouch and placed in a bowl to microwave. It was very juicy and delicious. We had it in zero carb tortillas with slaw on top. Surprisingly tender and delicious. I mean amazing for prepackaged pork. We have already added it to our shopping list. I hope it’s not a limited time item.

I had never tasted carnitas before, though had this recommended on a You Tube channel I follow. I wasn’t sure how this was packaged inside the container, but froze it as is before using. I thawed it overnight in the fridge and heated it up in a pan. There are only two of us at home now, so we got a number of meals out of this. First served with small flour tortillas, with slices of lime, fresh cilantro and Pico salsa. Second night made rice bowls with lime cilantro rice, a few corn tortilla chips, Pico salsa and shredded cheese. Used the rest as carnitas burritos simply rolled up and heated in the microwave with salsa on the side. I definitely will purchase this again, though will break down the package into smaller portions and freeze. This is a great thing to have in the freezer for a very quick meal.

I’m always skeptical of packaged meat/prepared food, but gave these a try and the carnitas were fantastic. Super easy to heat up and pull apart. But more importantly, tasted amazing. We did a traditional corn tortilla, cilantro, lime and salsa verde and the whole family enjoyed. Enough meat for two nights, too. Hope this sticks around at Sam’s!

My husband isn’t a pork fan unless it is bacon. Our local Sams Club offered this product as a sample and he arrived home saying he had the best pork as a sample. The worker gave him another sample as he enjoyed it so much. He purchased it and the following day I heated it up with mash potatoes for a side dish. The juice from the pork was nice over the potatoes. The next night I made quesadillas with the left overs. It is a 2 lb portion and vacuumed sealed so you can freeze it nicely.

My household loves this. Even my 84yr old grandmother couldn't stop talking about how good it is. I add a little oil to a pan and heat it that way. Only seasoning I add is a bit of cumin and some garlic powder since my family prefers the strong taste of both. I've served them with soft corn tortillas, in burritos, in omelets, and in rice bowls. It's a hit every time!

They are truly delicious! I made quesadillas and purchased all the items at Sam’s Club. The melting cheese is great too. The flavor was spot on and there where tender chunks of meat with little or no fat. The package had several warming options as they are fully cooked already. I used the microwave and the 6 minutes listed on the package was perfect. The whole family LOVED them! I hope they are not really a limited item because I have sooo many ideas…. Street tacos, nachos, with eggs for breakfast, over mashed potatoes, with Spanish rice and refried beans for a plate meal, ect…. Please keep stocking them! My freezer can only hold so much!

These were wonderful - the meat was very tender, juicy, high quality and seasoned very tasty. It did not seem "southwest" to me, more like a really good tender pork roast. The meat was in cubes and could be shredded very easily. Yes there was some fat here and there, but it's pork so that's to be expected. I really hope they change this to be permanent, we like this better than the pulled pork.

I have had carnitas before from another wholesale club. These from Sam's are so much better. I annoyed my family when I kept remarking about how good they were. For preparation, I just put in a saucepan on low heat for a half hour or slow (to heat it up slowly) and then take it out and pull apart with "claws" that I used to separate my pulled pork that I smoke. If you're reading this, go and buy some carnitas from Sam's Club! I can't wait to get these again.
