This time my nopales arrived in good condition, thank you.
One of the bags of nopales isn't good anymore, but other than that everything is fine.
The first time I bought from them, I was delighted.
They arrived very well packaged and are very fresh and tender, and a very good price too!!
They're in bad condition; it's the first time I've received a product of such poor quality. Everything else is perfect.
They're not very good :(
