I really enjoy tamales. I have bought Texas brand tamales before, but it’s been a while. I don’t usually buy them because they are a bit expensive at most grocery stores for a dozen. When I saw them as Sam’s at that price, I had to get some. They were better than I remembered. They only had the pork version that I could see. I usually get beef or chicken, but these were excellent. My sister usually will not eat store bought tamales, but she tried these and really liked them.

Having made tamales myself, I appreciate these tamales. They are not big. But they are good smothered in Wolf brand chili (thinned with a bit of water, and beefed up with a touch of Better Than Bouillon Roasted Beef Base) onions, and cheddar cheese. Then they taste like a dish from a Tex Mex restaurant.

Been craving tamales all holiday season and decided to give these a try. Popped them in the rice cooker to steam and they came out so delicious!

I can always count on Sams to be organized, efficient, and have a very clean store to shop in. I can't ever remember not being able to find a basket or flat to shop with. My wife and I have patronized Sams for at least 20 years and we are still pleased to this day

These tamales are excellent. Not made with lard. You steam for 15 minutes and they are perfect. Thin masa layer and good filling

It's hard to find a good local tamale place so we tried in store brands. Most have hardly any filling or are too salty or are too beany. These are flavored well without being too beany and have a good ratio with the filling. If it had no beany flavor I would give it 5 stars.

I bought this tamales on a whim as I did not buy any from tamale sellers over Christmas due to cost. ($24.00 a dozen locally) And was really surprised by the flavor of these! They actually had a good flavor and some heat to them. Unlike others I've had, I was really satisfied with my purchase. The only issue would be their size. Here in El Paso, it would take 3 to get close to the size of ours. But on the plus side, you don't get tamales witg a lot of masa and little filling.

Falls apart easily when putting on a plate but love the taste

Wasn’t good at all taste like ravioli

Not a good flavor after you warmed
