    DO NOT BUY. It’s like eating tortilla only and an iota of filling. This is the worst frozen taquitos I’ve ever bought. How this got 4 stars I will never know, very misleading.
    1 reply from El Monterey Consumer Care team - 5 months ago
    We're sorry to hear that the amount of filling was not what you'd expect, Jen, and regret that our Steak and Cheese taquitos missed the mark this time. Your satisfaction is very important to us, and it’s always our intention to provide great, quality meals. We will take your thoughts into consideration as we continue to improve, and we hope you will try us again in the future.

    Steph - 1 year ago
    I love popping these in the air fryer for a lil treat. I'm not a huge corn tortilla person and enjoy this flakier style. The filling is rich and cheesy. I do taste the steak. I usually eat them with a little sour cream. Yum! My only complaint is that they could use a little more filling. I take small bites, and the first and last bite have little to no filling.
    1 reply from El Monterey Consumer Care team - 1 year ago
    We love using the air fryer for our taquitos, too, Steph, for a crunchier, crispier finish! Those additions definitely pair well with our items and can enhance the experience. Thanks for sharing these helpful tips! We apologize that the amount of filling missed the mark, so we will be sure to share your thoughts with our team.

    Definitely not as bad as a lot of these reviews are making them out to be. They are good for a quick frozen meal. Are they 5 star authentic tasting? No, but they are what would be expected from a FROZEN taquito.

    I wanted to like these. Steak and cheese sounds so good. Unfortunately they weren't good. I threw them away. The steak didn't taste like steak. I wouldn't recommend them.

    Obviously I don’t have high expectations for frozen taquitos, but these are pretty tasteless! They also are inconsistent when it comes to filling amount. Some would be half filled and others filled all the way.
