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
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.

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!
Lovely meal for 2 taken from the taco legend book
You can't go wrong with fajitas! This looks like a fantastic Mexican spread, Sophie - great job!
Excellent kit and makes lots of great dishes
Thanks for your kind words, we're so pleased to hear how much you love using your Taco Legend kit!
A beautiful meal. We made the Chicken Tinga alongside the Essential Carne Molida. We made the red salsa and essential black beans to go with it, and served up some salad too.
Sounds like a spec-taco-ular meal, glad you enjoyed it!
So tasty and SUPER easy! Our new Friday night regular!
Yum! This looks like a spec-taco-ular meal!
It's a gift so I can only comment on the transaction and presentation of the gift. For both of these I would give five stars. I chose this because my brother is a big fan of the curry spice mixes. And let's be honest, as a birthday gift from a mother-in-law it has to be up there amongst the best.....
Thanks for your spec-taco-ular feedback, happy spicing!
We love the dishes that can be produced from "How to be a Taco Legend". This is Albóndigas and Arroz Verde and are favourites in our household. They make a regular appearance when the grandchildren come. You can guarantee empty plates all round!
Yum! This looks like a spec-taco-ular meal!
Cooked on the fire, served with a jacket potato, sour cream and salsa Mexicana.
Yum this looks like a brilliant warming dinner - so cosy!
We had a Mexican feast including red cabbage, cochinita pabil,chicken tinga, salsa verde, salsa mexicana, essential guacamole - just fabulous!
YUM! This looks like a spec-taco-ular spread, a real fiesta!
Mexican flavoured kebabs is pure genius. A perfect fusion of cultures.
We're so pleased to hear how much you enjoyed these Mexican kebabs, influenced by Lebanese cuisine!
Love the flavour, love the textures and love the beauty of this perfect snack.
Looks like an avo-solutely delicious snack!
This was really tasty, made it with fresh beetroot. Served it with refried beans and salsa Mexican a.
YUM! This looks absolutely incredible, we think making this with fresh beetroot makes for a really un-beet-able meal!
