Chema Food Products

"I got reccomended this place for their tamales and they definitely did not let me down. My family doesn't make corn husk tamales so we're always looking out for some yummy ones and these have to be the best we've tried. The flavor of the masa is delicious and perfectly seasoned, the pork is soft and the rajas con queso tamales have just the right amount of cheese and chile. Usually I've come across tamales that skimp out on the meat or cheese inside and are masudos or dry, but nah this place has got it. When you walk in you can see hand tossed tortillas being made. I got to try the corn tortillas with some barbacoa de cachete and the flavor was also very good. I also tried their chicharrones and while I'm not a fan of it in general, I know that the flavor was good."

"I started buying their “Chema Chicharrón Botanero” at Kroger, and was buying at least 4 bags weekly because at first all pork cracklings were just pure crunchy, delicious pork skin without any fat layer on it (unlike other brands we had tried, that half of it ends on the trash because of fat layer on it). However, the last 4 bags we used this week, were mixed with pieces with fat layer as well, and just as it was done with the other brands, a lot of it ended up in the trash. That’s why I am only giving it 3 stars. I will continue trying a few more times to check if they really read the reviews and correct the issue. No deben mezclar los chicharrones que tienen gordura (grasa) con los que supuestamente son mejores (sin carbohidratos) que deberían ser solamente la pura piel. Esperamos corrijan eso para continuar comprando los “Chema Chicharrón Botanero” del Kroger."

"Chemas claims to be a substitute in the area now for La Casita which is temporarily closed because of supply chain issues, but chemas doesn’t compare. The carnitas, Barbacoa, tamales, salsas, and menudo at at la casita are far superior in taste and quality. Honestly I would pay double if La Casita came back because they were that good."

"Great staff service. Placed a morning special order of 7 dozen of tamales of beans and cheese and rajas con queso and three hours later the tamales were ready for pick up. Delicious and good price."
