I had high hopes for the TJ’s Amarena cherries. Unfortunately we don’t care for them at all so they didn’t work out for us.
Del Real cheese and green chile tamales - somewhere between meh and yeah? These are refrigerated and were on the shelf next to the carnitas from the same brand. I liked that they were super easy to reheat, but the microwave didn’t really steam the tamale properly, and I’m not sure what the sustainable wrapper was because it looked too regular to be corn husks. Taste-wise they were pretty good with a bit of a kick. I’ll eat them but probably not repurchase as nobody else in the house liked them.

I was wondering about those.
I recently tried the chicken and green chile tamales from Tucson Tamales (available at Whole Foods, and probably other places) and really liked them – reheated easily, moist, and seemed to have more filling than the ones at Tjs.
NAY on the everything seasoning breaded cod. It’s frozen, and happens to be gluten free (yay!), and my garlic-averse dad said the everything seasoning wasn’t garlicky. Maybe there is a difference in suppliers between east coast and west coast, because it was pretty darn bad. The breading was way too thick and the fish was oddly stringy (baked as directed per package, middle of cooking time range, in the oven that does not run hot). I had made two fillets and both were the same - inedible. I rarely return food to Costco but this one’s going back. But hey, dad was right - it smelled garlicky but didn’t taste of garlic.
