If you're planning a family dinner with a Mexican theme or even just looking for a few Mexican food items to keep in the fridge for lazy evenings and easy lunches, you might consider shopping at Sam's Club for your goods. The warehouse-style chain has a selection of seriously popular items under the Member's Mark label that make enjoying your favorite Mexican dishes easy and affordable.

Shoppers on the lookout for Sam's Club products that are better than Costco might like to know that the house label Mexican food selection at the warehouse chain is trim but mighty. Almost every item in stock is a winner, standing in for the more expensive national brand versions to save you money while providing exceptional food that honors its Mexican roots.

I've gathered the products that Sam's Club customers consider the best Mexican food items in the store. It's a surprisingly well-rounded collection of snacks, ingredients, and ready-made meals that will get you in the mood for a flavorful feast without cutting too deep into your shopping funds.

Whether you melt it into gooey five-ingredient buffalo chicken quesadillas or sprinkle it in its fresh form on tacos and tostadas, shredded cheese is a non-negotiable part of a fiesta style meal. Sam's Club shoppers love the Member's Mark bag of Mexican-style shredded cheese for its flavorful functionality in a price friendly two-pack. With a 4.8-star average for 7,000-plus ratings and reviews on the Sam's website, it's also the best and most frequently rated Mexican food item in the Member's Mark catalog.

What gives these cheesy shreds such a cult following? Reviewers love the price for the double pack, which is a screaming deal at just over $6 for a total of two pounds of mixed cheddar, Monterey Jack, queso quesadilla, and asadero cheese. Add to that the superior flavor and meltability, which shoppers find to be as good as the bigger brands, and you have a winning combination that makes your favorite dishes affordable and dependably delicious.

Maybe the best thing about Member's Mark Mexican-style shredded cheese is how far a single purchase can go. Pick up a two-pack and stash one in the fridge for upcoming meals and toss the other in the freezer for use down the line. You'll have plenty of cheese on hand without having to make a second trip.

You won't find store label stands for Doritos at Sam's Club, but there is a more nutrition-minded take on traditional tortilla chips that club members are in love with. Seek out Member's Mark Red Quinoa Chia Corn Tortilla Chips and you'll find a sensational substitute that doesn't rely on seasoned dust that leaves your fingers dirty while covering up the true flavor of the chip it adorns. These crisps are flavorful enough without any extras on top, a feature that makes customers feel much better about their snacking choices.

You don't rack up a 4.8-star average among a stunning 5,300-plus ratings and reviews by skimping on enjoyability. This tempting display of seed-filled snacking magic has earned its reputation one bag at a time. In a world of corn chips that sometimes fail to please, patrons are overjoyed to find a fantastic taste and texture. They also express their joy at having an alternative to the usual tortilla chips, one that offers a slightly healthier profile, thanks to the chia and quinoa.

These chips appear to hit the sweet spot between healthfulness and authenticity. They're a sure-fire way to finish off your taco salad or enchilada dinner with a traditional crisp with a modern twist.

Passing over Pace and other name brand picante sauces can put a real damper on your otherwise dynamite Mexican meal. But with Member's Mark cantina-style salsa, customers are finding a fantastic alternative that doesn't ring their bank accounts dry. A nicely-sized 48-ounce jar of this zesty blend can get you through any number of dining occasions, from simple chips-and-dip snacking sessions to full-fledged dinners featuring a spicy salsa appetizer. And if you trust the over 700 ratings and reviews that have garnered this salsa a 4.2-star average on the Sam's listing, there's something special waiting under the fiery red lid.

Read the reviews for clues and you'll find shopper after shopper describing how they love the authentic, fresh flavor Member's Mark has come up with. There's also a hint of spice and smokiness that makes the profile more complex than just chopped vegetables could do. With a smooth texture that offers consistency, this salsa gives you a dependable topper for tostadas and tacos and an exceptional starting point for creamy queso dips with a refreshing salsa kick.

Sometimes Sam's Club comes up with a copycat food item that's better than the real thing. In the case of restaurant-grade salsa, customers seem to agree that the chain's record for satisfying substitutes remains intact.

Seasoned meats like Members Mark's fully-cooked pork carnitas are another way that Sam's Club gets you halfway to a phenomenal Mexican meal without requiring a slow cooker or roasting pan. This 2-pound container from the deli section is ideal for turning into burritos, enchiladas, and even pork sandwiches.

Rounding up 4.8-star average across more than 2,400 ratings and reviews gives this refrigerated wonder a profile reserved for the greatest Sam's Club items. As an easy and delicious dinner that's ready in 15 minutes, Sam's pork carnitas give home cooks plenty of possibilities for authentic Mexican dining. Reviewers use it for everything from burritos and tacos to pork sandwiches and rice bowls, calling it the most delicious dinner prospect on the planet. That's tough praise to argue with!

If you're grappling with the choice of whether Costco or Sam's Club has the better meat section, these prepackaged pork carnitas should be a huge clue. Member's Mark cues you up for a Mexican meal that doesn't disappoint or wring out your wallet — in other words, it's the good stuff.

Sometimes all you want is a little guacamole to spread on your wrap or dip your carrot sticks in. Sam's Club comes to the rescue with its Member's Mark original guacamole minis, a 14-count package of single serving 2 ½ ounce containers that hold just the right amount of spread to tide you over. They're just the thing for moments when making a full batch of guac means having so much left over, you just know you won't finish it before it turns that funky shade of brown that nobody likes.

Sam's Club members adore this easy snack that comes in sensible pre-portioned servings. Some pair it with Member's Mark red quinoa chia tortilla chips for a mindful take on happy hour snacking. It's easy enough to toss one or two into a lunch bag for work and school to add healthy fats to your family's dining habits with a treat they'll enjoy.

With a 4.5-star average for over 2,200 ratings and reviews and glowing praise for the flavor and convenience factor, the crowd has bestowed high praise on a sensational savory dip that provides just the right amount of product in each packet.

Fans of fiery fiesta-style food can sink their teeth into a pan of Member's Mark Hatch chile and chicken enchiladas to get a heaping helping of a New Mexico classic. These regional peppers are revered for their deep flavor and exciting heat. Sam's Club incorporates them into chicken enchiladas for a thrilling dance of flavors that balances chiles, cheese, and chicken with soothing white sauce that keeps things from getting too hot.

Reviewers love the corn instead of flour tortillas used for these spicy enchiladas, and the Hatch chilis aren't too hot to bear. They also note that the contents of the pan don't dry out in the oven like other enchiladas can. It certainly explains how this Mexican favorite has amassed a 4.3-star average spanning more than 2,600 ratings and reviews on the Sam's website.

For anyone wondering what a Hatch chile is and whether or not it's spicy, this flavorful Southwestern pepper is used to add spice and earthy green flavor to dishes. And yes, it can be a bit on the hot side if you have a sensitive palate, so plan your purchase wisely.

There's no need to chop tons of fresh veggies yourself when the call for pico de gallo consumes your attention. All you need is a Sam's Club cart and directions to the refrigerator case where the store keeps its fresh cilantro pico de gallo-style salsa. Grab the container of this fan favorite to get all of the juicy garden fresh flavor you can handle, with a generous helping of herbal goodness to make the party even more festive.

How do you pass up a salsa with a 4.4-star average crossing over 4,200 ratings and reviews? The short answer is, you don't! Reviewers rave about being able to use this on chicken, crudités, and as a salad topping in addition to using it for its intended purpose as a satisfying dip. Some non-salsa fans find themselves putting it on home fries and eggs, too. A Sam's Club purchase that can change a customer's eating habits is a true must-have.

Among the best things to buy at Sam's Club to make your Mexican dining plans more flavorful, this salsa offers wins all around. No matter how you use it, it's more than worth the price.

You already know about the legendary rotisserie chickens Sam's Club keeps stocked in its meat section. Now get to know the incredible enchiladas the store makes out of the very same chicken. The pan contains three oversized, saucy enchiladas covered in cheese, and comes ready to slide into the oven for a heat-and-eat dish with undeniable appeal. This is one of the best Sam's Club prepared meals to keep in the freezer for evenings when you're just too tuckered out to think about starting supper from scratch. It also makes an amazing addition to a potluck or group dinner, with or without a Mexican theme.

A glorious 4.2-star average across 5,000-plus ratings and reviews on the Sam's listing speaks volumes about how much customers favor this creation. They praise the abundant, high-quality chicken taken from Sam's famous rotisserie birds and a sauce that has the right amount of spicy kick. Put them together and you have a budget-pleasing fan favorite that feels home cooked rather than store bought.

These enchiladas are priced by the pound, so the total cost will vary depending on the pan you choose. Hovering just around $15 overall, it's a sensible way to feed fans of the classics without spending more than necessary.

Get your family set up for a restaurant style Mexican dinner without paying those outrageous prices by checking out the premade chicken taco kit in the deli section of your nearby Sam's Club. This handy set up provides everything you need to assemble a suite of street-size tacos, including chicken, dressings, and fresh toppings. You even get lime slices to squeeze over top for that final touch of street food magic.

What's so great about a kit that provides literally everything you need for a Mexican meal except the plates? What isn't might be a better question. Sam's shoppers are grateful for the generous portions that can feed multiple family members; the components are consistently fresh and delicious, and the prepackaged set-up makes serving tacos for dinner a quick and easy feat. A prepared dinner selection from Sam's Club doesn't earn a 4.5-star average for 2,700 ratings and reviews (and rising) by being second-rate.

This set-up is a standard offering from the chain's premade meal department, but it's anything but ordinary. It saves you time shopping and cooking as well as making your money go further with restaurant-level fare at a fraction of the cost.

Sometimes you head to the spice cabinet for taco seasoning, only to find out you haven't replenished your stock from the last foil packet you opened. Sam's Club keeps you from having those dreadful moments of last-minute panic on taco Tuesday with a generous bottle of premixed taco seasoning that's ready to shake and enjoy. The 23-ounce bottle outsizes pretty much every other container in your seasoning collection, which means it'll be a long time before you run out again. Only bulk warehouse shopping can provide that sort of culinary confidence.

There may only be 149 or so ratings and reviews for this handy kitchen helper at the time of writing, but the 4.6-star average says Sam's Club is really onto something here. Verbiage from reviews say a great balance of spice gives shoppers good feelings about this oversized container. The plentiful quantity helps home cooks experiment with confidence in beef and chicken dishes, as well as dips and veggies.

The price factor works in your favor here as well, of course. At around $7 for the bottle, you pay a mere 30 cents per ounce for your taco spices; other store brands can cost about 50 cents per ounce, and name brands cost even more. Sam's Club gets you cooking for much less.

Sam's Club makes nailing down its best Mexican food items straightforward thanks to a robust rating system applied to every product on its website. Sam's shoppers seem to be enthusiastic about using both ratings and reviews to express their feelings about these products. To ensure that the items on the list were Sam's Club specialties, I restricted my search to only Member's Mark selections, and zeroed in on anything that could be considered an authentic Mexican food item. Luckily, the collection is trim yet encompasses a satisfactory range of food types.

The items on the list all happen to enjoy high ratings and overall glowing reviews from members who've tried them. Verbal descriptions of how customers have enjoyed the products made it easy to list out the benefits of shopping the Member's Mark line instead of national brands. Reviewers eagerly point out not only the highlights of the food quality but also the economical nature of lower-priced signature brand items. All of it came together in a profile of each product that represents the highest potential for successful Sam's Club purchases.
