Vaquero Bandido Original Carne Seca Crispy Beef Jerky, 2.0-oz

If you are tired of "beef jerky" that feels like is the right thing to do for your body, Vaquero Bandido is the game-changer you’ve been looking for. This is, hands down, the best jerky I have ever had.
Why it stands out:
• The Perfect Texture: Most brands are soft and oily, but this is exactly what jerky should be—dry and crispy. It has a satisfying snap that reminds you you’re eating real meat, not a science experiment.
• Zero Greasiness: It is not oily at all. You can snack on this without needing a wet nap immediately afterward.
• Clean Label: I love that it’s made with just a few simple ingredients. No fillers, no junk, and most importantly: no sugar added.
It’s rare to find a snack that hits that "old-school" rugged quality while staying lean and healthy. If you like your jerky traditional, tough, and transparently made, don't sleep on this.

I discovered this jerky at 711 - the chili flavored one. After serval trips to my local 711, and then being out of stock - I opted for ordering online. I decided to try the original version and get my chili flavored as well. Sadly I was sent 2 original. But onward. I was so excited when I finally received it - I was ready to dig in. I quickly noticed it was very oily … that was very odd to me. The flavor was not very tasty. It was over powered by whatever oily film was on it. I checked the second package - same thing. I was unable to enjoy any of it and threw it away :( Unfortunate because the chili one I typically buy is incredibly delicious! So now I just keep my eye out everytime I take a trip to 711.
