Joe … please do not disrespect pupusas like that . 🫓
Hi, my name is Angelica. As both a Latina and a frequent Trader Joe’s shopper, I decided to put Trader Joe’s most popular Latin American foods to the test and see if they’re actually good or just another example of white people doing too much. And let me tell you…….the results were mixed.
From pupusas to pico de gallo, I tried 14 different dishes and ranked them based on authenticity and overall taste. There were definitely some winners I’ll be buying again, and (spoiler alert) there were some absolute atrocities. Let’s get into it:
14.Frozen Vegetable Enchiladas
13.Chile and Cheese Tamales
12.Pollo Asado Burrito
11.Chicken, Cheese, and Green Chile Pupusas
10.Salsa Verde Chicken Enchiladas
9.Organic Chunky Homestyle Guacamole
8.Traditional Style Fat Free Refried Beans
7.Carne Asada Frozen Burrito
6.Carnitas with Salsa Verde Burrito
5.Chimichurri Rice
4.Pico De Gallo
3.Carnitas
2.Beef Birria
1.Pulled Pork Tamales
Thanks for coming on this taste-testing journey with me!! If you enjoyed it, you can find my review/ranking of fast food burritoshereand grocery store guacamoleshere. Happy LHM!
