Excellent flavor and consistency. Costco used to carry the Cheese and Green Chile Tamales version but unfortunately has stopped. Possibly only a seasonal find. But they are great and easy to prep. Also, a fantastic vegetarian option.

Not enough green chile. Very disapointed.

Really Good
These are really good. Would deduct a half star because I'd like more green chiles in the tamales (from NM of course!). But it is easy to add yourself, and of course the sauce can make up it as hot or not as you like.
Will add a star because they are really good and I didn't have to make them! 5 1/2 stars.

Love these tamales! The cheese and green chile variety are our favorite. Great for a quick weeknight dinner and special enough to serve to friends.
