People's Choice Beef Jerky Carne Seca - Sugar Free, Keto, High Protein, Zero Carb - Limón Con Chile, 1 lb

The meat is actually very good and not carboard dry, taste super good and it doesn’t have that “sugary taste” like most commercial brands. I am very glad I found this brand. Taste very good in my personal opinion. Quite pricy but it’s worth it, will be buying again. Other brands are either too hard to chew or even too dry. This is not extra super dry. It’s perfect!

This jerky is amazing, dry but not tough and has lots of flavor!

This, as the headline indicates, is the best beef jerky I've ever had. The meat is tough, but not so tough that it's inedible. I've seen reviews that say it's "powdery." I'm not really sure what that means. It does seem to crumble a bit as you chew it, but that's only because it's very dry. These are qualities that I want in beef jerky. I want it to be tough and dry so that I can chew on it and take my time, as opposed to just devouring it like I would any other food. The flavor is a bit spicy (but not burn-your-mouth spicy), with a sort of lime undertone. It's honestly perfect. I've had jerky that was near flavorless before, and I've had gas station brands that taste like they're more filler than actual meat. This is neither. It's very flavorful meat, with no filler ingredients at all. On top of everything else, the company is super friendly and helpful. I bought a different flavor in addition to this one (the classic flavor, in their big slab form), and wasn't really a fan. People's Choice discussed this with me via email, and we came to a resolution that we were both happy with. I felt like they had my best interests at heart throughout the entire process. I will absolutely be buying from them again. And soon.

In my personal experience there are no two identical kinds of beef jerky, i.e. some are more dry than others. This was one of the absolute worst brands of beef jerky I have tried though. To be fair the FLAVOR, "Carne Seca: was not bad itself, but the meat was dry to the point that I would have to take repeated bites just to actually bite off one piece. I assume and accept that there may be some beef jerky that is more tender than others - either due to flavoring, processing, or shelf life - but this was dry to the point that I actually felt the need to soak the jerky before even attempting to try a second piece. For anyone who want's to justify their purchase by saying, "well, beef jerky is supposed to be dry" (just as I did) - you have been warned. I do hope for other buyers' sake that I received a one-off bad batch, but as I've read through the reviews I realize that it may be a more prevalent issue with the jerky, (or perhaps just the Carne Seca flavor) than the initial 4-5 star amazon rating alludes. I have seen comments/reviews on here stating that the quality is "inconsistent" but I cannot attest to this. This was my first and only time trying this brands jerky. Admittedly the packaging is very nice and secure, as well as aesthetically pleasing; however, the flavor is decent at best and the texture is stringy, dry, and rigid as if it was dehydrated in a ceramic kiln. I was willing to try this once but in my opinion there are MUCH better brands out there offering higher quality meat that is not only edible, but more affordable as well. For a premium price I expected a premium product and after having tried it I wouldn't eat this stuff if it was a third of the price.

Carne Seca is my fourth bag of People's Choice Jerky. It is not the cheapest jerky, because it is quality jerky with ingredients that I trust. This is why I'll keep buying it. I've had the spicy traditional (or old fashioned), and then teriyaki and spicy big slabs. Carne Seca is my favorite, but each type is so different that I'll probably get something else next time to continue exploring their line-up. My experiences: Traditional (old fashioned): this is old school, meat and salt baby. It's delicious, but tough and will give your mouth a work out. I loved it. Spicy big slab: Way too much red and black pepper, it's too much. But, If you scrape some of the pepper off it's delicious. I actually liked it because the spice limited how fast I ate the stuff. But People's Choice, if you're reading...please dial it back like 30%. Teriyaki Big slab: This was like candy. So sweet and yummy, its not the easiest stuff to chew but my wife still housed it. This is her favorite hands down. Carne Seca: The flavor is "mexicany", and it is very good. It almost reminds me of the old jerky that came in a snuff can. The texture is also completely different from any of the others that I've tried. Very easy to chew...My two year old can actually chomp on this. I have become a loyal customer and I highly recommend this jerky.

This is one of my favorite beef jerkies! However, as I was wolfing down my morning commute jerky, I looked down to see that the chunk I was digging on had mold on it :( I tried to figure out how to contact the company to see if I could get a refund or a replacement, but I didn't see a way, unfortunately. Still tasty, but not thrilled about the extra "flavorings". I hope People's Choice Beef Jerky reaches out to make it right, because I would still support them in that case!
