Would you ever try any of these tamales? 😮
Yep. But homemade Will always be Best ❤❤❤❤❤
Maybe? Handmade tamales are the best.
My types that I like
• pork tamales (not too spicy)
• chicken tamales
• just plain tamales 🫔
My husband likes those nasty canned tamales he has to wait til I'm gone to eat the cause I can't stomach the smell or look of them!!
Actually I believe I have tried fake tamales before. The frozen padrinos tamales. Because my chinese family would definitely not know how to make tamales from scratch
Looks non tasty nope.
the fact they translated
"ay guey" as "damn, bruh" 💀
"seco" somehow became "dry af."
😂😂😂😂😂😂
"Ay Guay"
"You bull has No balls "
Can we get the moms to try the chomoy pickle!!!!! Please 😢❤❤❤
Omgggg imagine they try the chomoy pickle kit that’s all over TikTok 😆
@@dyanizayas Yess that’s what I’m saying lol

As a Mexican I am privileged to have grown up with fresh tamales. Just the best tamales in the world. Two Mexican grandmas, and a bunch of aunts that all made tamales. Not to mention my father’s job was in Los Angeles, so access to the best Mexican bakery that made the best tamales in California. Not even subjective, just factually the best.
With that out of the way… I have a dirty little secret. I love the cheap tamales that come in the white plastic wrapping! *XLNT* beef tamales they’re called. No texture, kinda mushy… but pure bliss. Especially when paired with scrambled eggs. Forget about it.
Edit: OMG they tried it! I made the comment before I finished the video! I’m dead… LoL
⚰
An episode trying different tamales from Latin America. Pasteles from Puerto Rico, Nacatamales from Nicaragua, Humitas from Peru, etc.
This video is making me crave tamales, but real ones, homemade. 😊
Please do a video where they all rate each others homemade tamales 🫔❗️
Oh what a wonderful idea
Why do I think there would be drama
here comes the mighty Flying Chanclas!! 😂😂😂
@@Idkwhattoputhere078it’s Mexican moms, of course there is gonna be drama lmao.
@@danielblaise156 😂
You gotta be in a real low place to even consider canned tamales 😖
Lucy liked them. This seems to be a reupload cause I remember Lucy liking too many of the tamales was especially shocked about the canned ones.
@ravenpoe7093 Lucy was on some kind of crazy Coca-Cola high, she was enjoying them too much! 😅
They actually somehow slap after smoke 🍃 session. It’s like going to Taco Bell, you know it’s not even remotely authentic but it’s very comforting
In our household, the next day we take our left over tamales and we fry them too. They’re good with salsa 🤤
in our house there's never leftover tamales 😢
@@Jmg831 haha, Im sure they’re that good!
Crema and salsa is elite
One thing you can say about the Hormel tamale is that it isn't anywhere close to dry
I love the Hormell tamales 😂😂😂
I grew up on them and loved them
Tamales are always Best when they are homemade! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🤤🤤🤤🤤
If I remember lucy's mom correctly she will watch lucy's parts of the video and cry.
😅
Why?
@@jgarcia4721 every time she was in a video where they reviewed tamales she hated them, and those were from fast food joints.
@jgarcia4721
Depression and she doesn’t like to leave her home and they bring her out and record her sobbing and freezing up
The BEST tamales are homemade! I used to help a family make tamales at Christmas. I think the most we made in one setting was 24 dozen, plus we made several dozen sweet tamales.
Psssh! I’ve made way more than that. Just for the annual bum feed I hold every year.
Omg I remember sweet tamales. I’d forgotten them. Lol
63 years old.
My father loved them
They are delicious!! 💖
It was the same in my dad's family. Apparently it was quite a process. I heard something about them boiling the meat off an animal's head for the meat filling
Where's the H-E-B tamales! They are awesome, not better than homemade but close. They also come in a variety of flavors, even weird ones. Could do a whole episode on them.
They’re filming in California not Texas so no H.E.B here
The tres leches cake from heb
lord I miss H-E-B😢
@@ravenpoe7093 Texas isn't the only place with HEB. Mexico has HEB's too
This is what happens when American companies appropriate another cultures food
I don't disagree with your point....but do you know who's working in those Hormel plants in MN?
It's canned ravioli all over again!
They were such good sports I think they deserve a real treat. I've tried most of those and would have given them a 3 at best.
I won't ever forget my first Hormel tamale... Nothing compared to my neighborhood homemade kinds.
I think of them as a different food than a real tamales, just like I used to like the Jack in the Box tacos but they're not at all like a real taco.
That was my only hands on knowledge of tamales until I moved to San Diego and bought some out of a guys trunk. 😁
@@ShanaLawsontrunkmales from Home Depot parking lot always hit
@@masterfamclothingco I always heard people talking about them so when I had the chance I took it!
but yet they'd stuff their gullets with maruchan ramen.
Christmas coming up! Let them rank each others blind folded!
damm u want more drama for the holidays no mms guey 😂😂
We don't need chacklahs to fly homie.

My mother and I make chicken and pork tamales every year. We aren’t Mexican but we use a very good recipe. They are fantastic. We make a ton and freeze them. I can eat like 15 at a time 😂
My wife puts the beef canned tamales in a pan, covers them with Dennisons’ chili with no beans, shredded cheese and heats in oven. Serves it over white rice. It’s pretty good.
I do the same. A comfort meal.
Agreed, but it is NOT a real tamale and canned chili is NOT real chili con carne! It is good, but not the real thing.
Ladies don't dis my hormel tamal they good if you don' t like it don't eat. Jose
I was surprised at how many mentioned a few of the tamales were too salty. I have some XLNT frozen chicken tamales, but they cook up dry in the oven, because my steamer has gone AWOL and my microwave is dead. In fact, I found this page by Googling whether I could cook the tamales in my electric rice steamer! I used to love Garibaldi turkey tamales, but I can’t find them anymore.🙁
The Hormel tamales are okay if you don’t consider it a tamal 😂 they’re super cumin-y. I grew to like them with some bottled hot sauce. But yeah, it’s definitely not a tamal.
I line them in a pan and cover with chili and cheese and bake till hot. Heartburn city for days.
I eat those Tuscon green chili ones and I agree, the masa is way too soft but still pretty good
These women had their mind made up even before they took the first bite, especially the woman who spit it out in her napkin.
Tamales in a jar (can) is Mexican food. When slavery ended, there was an influx of Mexicans going to Mississippi to work. They are the ones who created the jar tamales (also called hot tamales.) Mexico is very regional. It’s like the US. A New Yorker will say any non New York pizza is not real pizza.
I love that there’s six different tasters for six results. More of this format.
Estoy de acuerdo
I'm not terribly surprised that at least two people reported a strong cumin taste from Hormel's canned offering. I haven't tried their tamales, but when I was growing up, chili meant Hormel canned chili. At the time, I didn't know what cumin was. But when I started learning to cook, I quickly identified cumin as "that chili spice". I don't knock their chili. I like chili, and Hormel was the first chili I ever tasted. It's just that they do seem to be quite enamored with that spice. Cumin is a common spice in Mexican and Tex-Mex cuisine, but I think Hormel uses more cumin in their canned chili products than Taco Bell uses in their ground beef. It's... if I say it's "a lot", that might be too judgmental, especially for foods I grew up on. So I'll instead go with "certainly there".
So if they say "in chili sauce" on the label for their canned tamales, I'm not surprised that "chili" implies "certainly there" quantities of cumin.
Try belizean tamales!!! Plssss mamah
It really does remind me of dog food, I glad I’m not the only one. Compared to the real thing which is one of my favorite foods.
The canned ones can't hold a candle to homemade of course, but even so they remind me of winter day camping when I was young and my backyard was the woods. Still comfort food to me.
I am mixed ethnicity (Asian +) and I really love Mexican food! just have to minimize eating the heavy rich stuff (lard-rich beans, etc) as it upsets my stomach, and tamales are my favorite!!!!
Lucy’s food reviews may not be reliable as she may not have enough knowledge about the food she is reviewing. Her accent may also make it difficult for some people to understand her. Additionally, she may have a bias view towards authentic food and mass-produced synthetic food. Furthermore, is not pronounced Tamale (with an E at the end), it's Tamal (singular) Tamales (plural).
My grandma was a Spanish-Mexican but she never made us tamales. My dad told me that grandpa used to say, "The best tasting tamales are made by a 97 year-old lady with three teeth and her own matata." There's no way these store-bought tamales would EVER pass muster with these ladies. My favorites are the Veracruz-style with the banana leaf instead of corn paper. Great flavor!
My mom SWEARS by these freakin' canned tamales. My entire life she raved about how it was her 'favorite food growing up'. (She's a vegetarian now if that says anything)
I finally tried it last year. I straight up almost vomited LMAO. Those Trader Joe's ones though? Bomb. I go out of my way to buy those, actually.
Y’all are white, right?
I’m so glad I live in California. Our local Latin market sells decent tamales, but none beat my next door neighbors tamales. So good!
Everything here looks bad
“No, chica, No!”😂😂😂
I love how much energy the one mom always has, what a gem.
I love how they're like "Too salty, feels raw, I couldn't even find the meat......I'll give it a 3". Very lenient with their scores lol.
When the lady said they keep getting worse lmaooo
Are you guys able to translate the English with Spanish subtitles too? I’m trying to learn Spanish 😅
"This is trash, fam" 6:40 😭😭😭
You know damn well that's not what she said, my Spanish is trash, but even I know that.
That's an insult to dog food. Honestly Hormel's canned tamales are so bad they should be illegal.
Ay mi chulada of ceci!! She is gorgeous just saying!!
As a kid in the 70s we had Miguel's, a mexican restaurant, a couple blocks from our house. He would bring the neighborhood moms in and teach them traditional recipes then show them the tweaks he made to make them more middle america friendly. Later I lived in a mostly Hispanic area and impatiently waited for Sundays when the neighborhood moms would come around selling homemade tamales, enchiladas, and tacos. I think the ladies are far too kind in their ratings of these store bought tamales. Although when I was first starting out on my own I would put Hormel canned tamales in a loaf pan, dump a can of Hormel chili con carne on top with a ton of cheese and bake it up. White trash budget tamale bake 😆😆😆!
I wanna eat wit my baby Carol ❤
Get in line esé 🤣🤣
My mom liked the tamales in a can when she was feeling under the weather! 😂 She knew how bad they were, she felt so guilty for eating such bad tamales, and we gave her hell for it. We only made tamales on holidays because they’re so much work, but still… 🤢
It’s like Chef Boyardee lol. Not good, highly questionable, but nostalgic.
@@bleepbloopskrrr I think that is absolutely true. We are from New Mexico, so tamales are something the family would get together to do in an assembly line fashion, and we’d make a lot of them for special occasions. But if mom just wanted that little bit of comfort food when she had a cold, she could find it in a can. 😂
Yeah other fillings but never ground beef... you ladies are brave.
lucy is so full of it lol
Need to trick all of them to a real
One vs frozen ect…..
Moral of the story is: you cant make women happy.
Are those Xlnt ones in a fabric bag? They had bones in the filling when I got some whatever brand is in the bag.
My cousins wife was from a little village outside of Tampico. She made us tamales once. Inside was like beef stew, beef, potatoes, other veggies. They were good. There is a restaurant somewhere in California if think it does tamales from traditional to dessert ones. All different flavors.
Small Towns of Mexico have best and more traditional foods. The big city in Mexico is the same as the big city in USA.
I love Trader Joes tamales and I am very picky about them
We grew up eating these. I like can tamales
I love xlint with a fried egg on top
I wish this was a blind taste test😂
CANNED TAMALES THATS SICK!!!
Our local Mexican restaurant serves pork tamales wrapped in banana leaves. The leaves give the masa a slight green color but they taste delicious! Especially with salsa verde.
It would be fun to get into the kitchen with these women and see how they make their own tamales. I buy Xlint sometimes but usually cook them in the oven and add sauce, but I've helped make them at a friend's house when they were cooking them up for Christmas and I've eaten homemade that a coworker from Central America brought into work as a treat...hers were wrapped in banana leaves and had a totally different flavor.
Can you have them try Turkish food
I love my can tamales 😂
Xochitl is a GEM❤
As a Mexican that lives in SoCal, I always think about if it’s worth the alternatives vs fresh tamales. I like tamales, but where I live they’re $18 a dozen. Just outrageous prices. And they’re on every street corner.
If I had to eat something I like having the canned tamales. Whether with sunny side eggs in the morning for breakfast or chili flavor Fritos chips for lunch.
I view the canned tamales as “acceptable”. They’re okay and do the job.
You guys should have them bring in their own tamales and have them rank them but don't let them know that it's their own.
LOVE mamah and this channel!😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤
I have been yold my tamales are very dtrange since i font use authectic mexican ingredients. I make more of an American style with american and European flavors.
Wish you guys would have a quick conclusion, which product got which scores added up. And it was hard to get the names of the products.
Too wet... too dry... this just proves a group will never be happy. It's why a two party system is useless. There is more than just good and evil.
The original Hormel beef tamales are great drunk food. Especially with a can of chili and a bunch of cheese melted over it. But they are definitely not real tamales.
To be honest, I can't think of something more disgusting, profane and "naco" than canned tamales.
Una auténtica porquería. I wouldn't eat ni uno solo, ni aunque my life dependiera de ello.
This is hilarious
I wonder what they would think of Ducal tamales. I grew up on them and I think they taste pretty close to central American tamales that my family make during Christmas. (We’re from Guatemala)
I’ve had the canned ones. Super unfair to compare them to the rest. They’re not bad and very convenient but just don’t think of them as real tamales
Nothing beats grandmas home cooked tamales!!! But, right now even canned tamales sound good when you live in a Mexican food desert like me😢😂
Having REAL homemade tamales ruined me from any mass manufactured ones. For life. 😊
My mom used to love those. She take a can pour chili on top with cheese and bake em. They were ok for a cheap meal when your broke. They aRe what people call Louisiana style tamales. But to be honest give me some normal tamales any day. Chicken pork beef the sweet ones. One f my mom's good friends used to make sweet tamales with a like Chutney of raisins and pineapple in the middle. She would tank raisins and small diced hunks of pineapple and cook Thu in a pan with some pineapple juice a bit of sugar and some cinnamon and nutmeg. She'd boil it till I I thick like the consistancy of smushed tamarind.then she would fill the masa in husks like normal and steam them. They were so good. Her grandma came up with the recipe for xmas. Which we all know that's usually the time familia gets other and stuff hundreds of tamales for days up til the xmas party. I'm a white boy but i grew up in san diego having many Hispanic friends of the family and school buddies. I've partaken in the tradition or Making tamales. i loved those days. I learned alot about cooking and lo 3d when those ladies who I couldn't understand hardly a word of what what were saying most times. But they liked m3 be a I was polite, helped out alot and kept their kids out of trouble. Or so they thought lol. I would give a left testicle to have an all you can eat tamale and carne asada feast. I miss those days. My friends sorta hated me because their aunties and grandma's sort of liked me better some times. Theyd see me so well behaved in front of them and tell the I kids or grandkids why cant you be like him. So nice and respectful lol. One grandma found out it was my 8th birthday and gifted me a st micheal pendant and n3cklace from her own jewlery box. Turns outnit belonged to her late son who died in battle when he joined the mrines in vietnam. They sent it back with his stuff. I knew then when my friend told me about it. It was a beautiful 14 karat gold necklace and pendant.she handed to me said for you mijo. then gave me a hug and a kiss on the forehead. I asked my friend what's up bro? Why your grandma being so nice? He just patted me not back and sari I guess your family now If she's accepted you like that.some of the best people I've known were from sound the border. My freaking God father was mexican. My mom's best friend sinc3 childhood. He .ca out when he was 12 and his family kicked him out so my grandparents took him in unit he finished school and moved away to,Palm springs. He passed away in 96 from hiv. Mom cried her eyes out that day. so over half my life was around Hispanic folks.
I grew up on those things but we didn't live in a Mexican community and my mom was German and didn't make this kind of food. My dad made a few dishes (rice, quesadillas and guacamole). We were so far removed for the Mexican culture that we didn't realize those foods he made were traditional Mexican foods until we went to Mexican restaurants when we were older. We just thought it was food that my dad made up. We had the Mexican TV dinners, the little frozen tacos, the canned refried beans, chilli and tamales. I know, it's sad.
1:39 translation please? I don't speak spanish and they forgot subtitles.
I love Canned Tamales my self. Straight out of the can, put on Bread, put some catsup on them with some Tabasco - Yumm yum - at least I know what I’m eating- I’m not fond of pork at all, I like my bacon crisp, and once in a blue moon I’ll have pork chops, but not really into them,
I think the mammas should try jellied eels from here in the uk and roll mops .The flavours are unique and there expressions alone would be amazing. Xochitl and Martha and lucy would be great together also doing a fun fair video but trying many many more dishes than the last 2 mommas tried 😊
My mom used to eat those Hormel tamales in a can... yuck-a-muck! It tasted like a weird funky chili sauce and the texture is very slimy. I haven't found a store brand I like. I generally order from cart vendors, taco trucks or Mexican restaurants.
I love a good shredded beef tamale…. Especially if it’s a cook who knows how to make them. That being said sometimes I get the craving for them and I will be broke af. I found that the canned Horrible Tomales will curb the craving and the beef ones are ok. Give me a choice between homemade traditional tomales or factory. I’ll take the traditional over the factory. Even if you gave me a case of factory tomales or 6 homemade ones…. You are leaving with the case.
I will have to go buy my can of Hormel tamales..forget these ladies. THEY ARE A MOTHERF#$%IN 10!
Back in my dorm room in the '70's those canned Hormel tamales were a great meal for a broke college kid. I'm lucky to have great Mexican restaurants in my neighborhood so bad tamales are a thing of the past for me.
I had the xlnt tamales.. They were bad.. I was confused because decent rating.. then I got the larger ones and it was decent. I haven't eaten a good tamal in a long time and I live in California.. often it is dry..... Trader Joe's was ok. But I'd never crave it
The problem is nowadays , younger generations don't wanna put forth the effort to make them from scratch. But yet complain about processed tamales 😂
I love the concept of this channel. But the mom’s are so snooty when they critique the food. Maybe I’m too sensitive because I take shortcuts when cooking and my tías won’t eat my food 😢
Love the targeted racist ads during this video. I never felt so excluded as a person within my own country. They don't even have captions to understand what they are talking about. 😢
The Hormel Tamales although horrible, they are sinfully delicious given the right circumstances.😁
All the tamales looked nasty 🤢 everything has to to be freshly made from salsas to tortilla and etc. I don’t even like the packaged tortillas sold. Once you try freshly made food you just don’t want the imitation of it, it just doesn’t taste the same.
Man, I used to love those hormel tamales when I was a kid! In my defense, they probably tasted very different years ago, but what the hell did I know. 😂
thank God for mexico! ive ate those canned tamales this video is so good im so glad someone did this for everyone else gracias muchos hehe :P theres a spinach tamale too i wish i could remember the name comes in a beige cloth reusable sack in the frozen section with a white masa i always thought they were pretty good and ive made tamales in new mexico but just like country music, just because its country doesnt mean its all good lol.
We grew up eating all those plus the real tamales. When you're hungry ...Your hungry. I never really remember comparing them to real tamales. I looked at them as something else to eat. I don't look down on them. I just thanked the lord we had food to put on our table. You can add to them to make them more delicious. I would'nt mind a can of hormal tamales right now?
they actually aren't bad when mixed with beans, rice and cream. But I prefer nacatamales and rum from Nicaragua, or the tamale lady at the ghetto park! 🙂
Those tamales and burrito things the stores cell, should be BANNED !!!!💩💩
Hormel Tamales are canned ravioli in a different shape absolutely vile the Tamales I make with pork Chile verde anr colorado are so fluffy the key is the masa you need a good tortilleria fresh masa made for tamales! Cheers from Park City Utah!
Gebhardts is much better but still not tamales. Like comparing Taco Bell to Mexican food.
I didn't even know Bueno even made vegan tamales. Because where I live, you don't see Bueno's vegan tamales in stores, and it's usually only their pork tamales that you see.
So glad the vegan tamale got two 0s. Like yuck, tamales have meat. Period. Can't believe any ranking above 0 on a fake tamale.
If you are not buying your tamales in a Walmart parking lot you're not getting good tamales. Sams club does sell the best store-bought tamales ive ever eaten.
Does IAN FROM H3 know you're using a soundbite of his voice...?
