Already cooked the chili con carne a couple of times for my family. Kids love it. No UPFs, great flavours. Can’t wait to try more recipes. I now have both the curry and taco legend kits and have recommended both to friends. Great concept - keep up the great work! Thank you!
Fantastic weekday meal. This was very quick to prepare and still packed full of flavour. Billy said he could just imagine being in the Mexican sunshine with our dog and food just like this. Delicious. Thank you guys
What a fabulous fiesta of flavours - we're so pleased to hear how much you enjoyed it, and that it transported you straight to the Mexican sunshine!
Super easy and super tasty! What more can I say? Thank you Spicery.
You can't beat nachos - the perfect snack! Great to hear how much you loved this simple and tasty dish!
Wholesome, tasty and very satisfying. If I hadn't made this myself I dont think I would have spotted that it's a meat free dish. Very easy to put together and I love that the sauce can be made in the morning before work or ahead of a busy day. Perfect. Thanks guys
Yum - these look like the perfect nachos, Debbie! We're pleased to hear that you didn't miss the meat in this satisfying dish full of lovely layers!
We had a family party and celebrated with a Taco Legend feast – and what a feast it was! We served Suadero, Chicken Fajitas, Lamb Barbacoa, Calabacitas con Queso, Garlic Oregano Mushrooms, Guacamole, and Salsa. We also provided sausages for the grandchildren and their cousins, but Levi and Bonnie are no strangers to Taco Legend deliciousness! We used plant-based chicken in the "Chicken" Fajitas to accommodate the vegetarians, and it was a great success.
Wow, what a beautiful photo, and a fantastic Taco Legend feast! You clearly put a lot of work into making all of these dishes, and we're so pleased to hear that it was a success. We hope you had a wonderful time celebrating together as a family!
The freshness and texture are far superior to any shop-bought version. Yum!
This guacamole looks vibrant, fresh and fabulous, especially in your lovely patterned bowl! Of course, a homemade one has to be better than shop-bought!
The chunks of butternut squash, courgettes, spices, and melted cheese were a winning combination.
This looks delicious, great job! Anything covered in melted cheese has to be a winner!
I loved that these corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free – such a win if you're serving anyone avoiding gluten but still want something proper tasty. You do need to get some Masa Harina to make them, but honestly, it's totally worth it. They’re way better than the pre-packaged stuff, and once you try them, you’ll never go back.
Great job making your own corn tortillas - we're really impressed! And we LOVE that tortilla warmer!
Incredibly flavoursome. This has to be the very best version of this classic dish that I have ever made. It really proves just how excellent the spicery spices are. We thoroughly enjoyed every mouthful. It was also wonderfully easy to make and that makes it a perfect mid week treat. Thank you guys
This looks like the perfect chilli con carne, Debbie - and that salsa Mexicana is just the right thing to cut through the richness and add a burst of colourful freshness! We're so pleased to hear how much you loved this meal!
Delicious. Marinated overnight and served with Essential Guacamole, Pickled Red Cabbage, Salsa Mexicans, Garlic Mayo Crema and Salsa Verde, all made from the HOW TO BE A TACO LEGEND recipe book.
This looks like an amazing Taco Legend spread, Jonathan - a great variety of flavours, colours and textures, which is exactly how Mexican food should be! We love your taco holders, too!
I bought this as a gift for my husband and he's been enjoying trying out new flavours and new dishes - we are long-time fans of the The Spicery and this new kit didn't disappoint - great flavours, amazing range of dishes to cook, easy-to-follow recipes and delicious results!
Thank you so much for your kind feedback, Lucy! We're so pleased to hear how much you're both enjoying your new Taco Legend kit, and hope you discover lots of favourite new dishes - happy spicing!
I would give this 5/5 for meat eaters, 4/5 for vegetarians. Shame there isn’t a vegetarian version like with the curry legends I bought this after the curry legends box and wasn’t disappointed. Great variations with excellent food, simple to follow recipes for beginners and experts. Especially good for when you have guests for dinner and want to make sure it’s good, takes the pressure off
Thank you so much for your great feedback, we're really pleased to hear that you're enjoying using your Taco Legend Kit! We do hope to produce a veggie version at some point in the future!
Wonderful kit, fantastic flavours and so easy to use. Shipped quickly with no fuss, and no excessive packaging which is a big plus. Bought as a gift for a 17yo and they’re enjoying cooking with it. I’ve now gone from being a Spicery newbie to being a regular. Thank you
It's so nice to hear how much you've been enjoying our Taco kit, and sharing Spicery joy with a younger generation too! You've certainly reached legend status in our eyes
This was bought as a gift for my niece who started at University in Denmark. Despite shipping issues, but with endless assistance from Jess at The Spicery who couldn't have been more helpful, she received the item on her return after Christmas hols and was absolutely delighted. As was her new Mexican friend, who is looking forward to some flavours from home when they get cooking. As yet no news on their efforts but as a long-term Spicery customer I have every confidence they are going to be over thew moon with the results. Jess-Thank you again. T
Thank you so much for your wonderful review. We're so happy to hear that you were happy with the customer service you received from the brilliant Jess! We hope your niece loves cooking with her Taco Legend Cookbook Kit - we have no doubt that she will be super popular with everyone in her University halls as a result!
This was enjoyed very much by three generations! The only modification to the recipe needed, was to swap the green peppers for red to appease our grandson!
It's great to hear that a love of spices and delicious food is being shared among 3 generations! Happy spicing!
This was a Christmas gift for my son who is absolutely delighted with it. We both already have The Curry Legend but he has so far made one meal from this new one and said it was really delicious. I will be ordering myself!! Thank you.
Thank you for your lovely feedback - we're delighted to hear that your son was pleased with his gift, and we hope he loves the process of becoming a Taco Legend (and maybe you will soon, too!)
This has a wonderful, deep, rich and sophisticated flavour. You can tell there is chocolate in it, which makes it all the better!
We're so pleased to hear how much you enjoyed the fantastic flavours of this deep, dark chilli!
Created a taco feast for some friends on New Year’s Eve. Oh my word what flavours! Completely impressed! Nachos, Papas a la mexicana, rajas con pollo, chilli sweetcorn, carne asada What an amazing smorgasbord of tastes, thank you so much to the team at The Spicery for all the effort to helping this humble home cook deliver real authentic Mexican cuisine.
This looks like a fantastic Mexican feast, David - you were clearly hard at work putting this brilliant spread together! We are so happy to hear how much you loved the flavours, and we hope your guests loved it, too! Happy spicing!
We have had the the Curry Legend kit for few years now and a number of our friends have bought their own after having a curry dinner from us. We bought our daughter the Taco Legend - world tour kit last year for Xmas. This year she wanted the Taco Legend book. So you can see we are well bought into this range and have had many a fantastic dinner night.
This looks like a fantastic Mexican feast, David - you were clearly hard at work putting this brilliant spread together! We are so happy to hear how much you loved the flavours, and we hope your guests loved it, too! Happy spicing!
We are always happy on an enchilada evening. And we will be happy tomorrow too with the leftovers!
Your enchiladas look fantastic, Phill - and we hope you enjoyed the leftovers just as much!
