So bad we threw them away and went without dinner
We didn't like the smell or taste of the seasoning at all. It has a weird artificial taste and is too spicy, considering it's meant to be mild. Also, the taco shells we're really stale and we could hardly bite in to them. We had some tortilla wraps in the cupboard so we managed to eat a bit of a wrap with the filling in it but it just wasn't nice at all and we ended up throwing it all away. Such a waste.
Classic
The classic taco flavour. Annoying when the tacos are broke though which they often are.
great little kit
love this for a mid week spice up
Bland
Can barely taste the seasoning mix. It just tasted like lightly flavoured minced beef. Very bland. Also, the taco shells are so narrow you can hardly fit anything in them. Not recommended.
Stale tasting hard shells
I’m reviewing this product because I got a free sample from Ocado. I was not impressed with these as I found them to taste stale, bland and would prefer their other kits. I wouldn't buy again or recommend to others.
Easy family meal.
I’m reviewing this product because I got a free sample from Ocado. This kit is easy to make, very mild, but endlessly customisable. I got lots of toppings (hot sauce, pickled onions, cheeses, different salsas) to supplement the salsa provided by the kit, to allow each person in the same to pick their own flavours. The taco shells are crunchy, and taste great, especially after a few minutes in the oven. One taco shell arrived broken which was disappointing.
