Your website is very easy to use and I like receiving email notices of your new products, especially the annual notices of the Pan de Muerto availability.

The best green taco sauce in the usa
Very good. I liked the La Victoria Jalapeno sauces, red and green, but they don't make those anymore. This green is good.
My students really enjoyed the bread.
It is better then what I expected I love it
This guava jelly is delicious. Nice and sweet and pleasant tasting.
The changes to "Shop" were confusing and the rewards system lost track of my earned rewards and prior purchases. Hopeful that you can work this out.
A little sweeter and smoother in texture than Salsa Ranchera but still very good. I'm guessing that Salsa Ranchera won't be back so I'm hunting around for a similar salsa.
