Mantecadas are not your typical “muffin.” They are a traditional Mexican pastry with their own texture and flavor. If you’re unfamiliar with them, they may seem different from what you expect from a standard muffin. Reviews complaining that the consistency is “odd” are usually just from people who don’t realize this is a different type of baked good. It’s worth understanding the product before judging it by the wrong standard.

Don't understand some of these reviews. They are not corn bread, more of a slightly light vanilla flavor. Yes, not overly moist but not dry either. Delicious if you are looking for a different kind of muffin that is not overly sweet. I thought great with a cup of tea!

Delicious taste like mantecadas. If you are Hispanic or Latino you know what these are we grew up eating them with coffee or hot chocolate… butter muffins and this is what they taste like. If you never had them or grew up with them probably won’t like it bc it’s very different from a muffin. Not even a muffin.

Mantecadas are typical sturdy and tasty These are more moist cake-like muffins. There’s nothing wrong with that but in a meeting with Hispanic people only 3 1/2 were eaten so we probably won’t be purchasing these again. But they’re pretty tasty

These are really dry, The tops are pretty good but after that your left with a really dry bread. These are made with lard so that checks out but missed the mark on moisture.

If you’re thinking these are as good as Mexican markets or Panderias, they’re not.

Was hoping these would taste like mantecadas and they missed the mark for me.

They were particularly dry will not purchase again

We wanted to love these! However, we found them to be dry and flavorless…

Hispanic Muffins we're horrible and dry as a desert.
