El Monterey Family Size Entrées Giveaway-CLOSED

February 2, 2011

As we all know life gets quite busy at times, and you don’t have the time or the desire to cook. That is when a nice frozen dinner comes in handy. All you do is pop it in the oven or microwave, and your done. The only problem is most frozen dinners taste exactly like their name — frozen, bland and no taste at all. Well, let me tell you about some frozen dinners that are far abominable. I am talking about El Monterey Mexican Food.

El Monterey is manufactured by Ruiz Foods – a California-based, family-owned and operated food processing company co-founded in 1964 by Fred Ruiz and his father, Louis. To this day, Ruiz Foods still uses ‘Grandma Rosie’s’ recipes as the basis for all their Mexican food products – burritos, taquitos, quesadillas, tamales, chimichangas, and more.

Having a husband who said he pretty much grew up on frozen Mexican dinners through high school, he was more than ready to tryout El Monterey’s frozen dinners. He put the El Monterey Chicken Enchiladas Family Entree in the oven, set the timer and was off to play with Sophia. When the time went off, he took them out and made everyone a plate. He took one bite and a big, greedy smile came to his face. He said these enchiladas were awesome and tasted like they  came from a restaurant. I had to agree too, and I am not a big Mexican food eater. However these enchiladas were delicious and Sophia even ate hers, Yippee. Needless to say, we all cleaned our plates, and were completely satisfied with El Monterey  Mexican Food frozen entrees and will definitely be looking for them in the frozen food aisle.  They also have  the Spicy Beef Enchiladas, Cheese Enchiladas and Chicken Mexicana.  Great for anyone to enjoy.

Now, visit their website and see all their delicious products, recipes and learn about the art of Mexican food.

Win: Five lucky winners will each win 2 El Monterey Dinners. Yay!
