"Best quality around"
"This is so far the best tasting taco seasoning I have tried. Unfortunately I can only find it at Publics! My go to stores are Walmart, food lion and target, I wish it was available there. Found it on Amazon, I have purchased it few times. You can also wait when price drops, expiration dates are long so buying at once 24 packs is a good deal. I have tried all the famous ones available and this is the best. Taco meat I also use as pizza topping. I generally speaking make 3 to 4 pounds ground chicken or beef and freeze them in small portions . We go through them very fast. One pack per pound. Highly recommend this seasoning 👍💯!"
"We love this seasoning and our local store stopped selling it. So of course we came to Amazon to find it. A bit disappointed that the expiration date is October 2023 and it's August right now. We probably will use 3 by then, but definitely not all 6 from the pack."
"Good buy, very flavorful. Only kind that we use."
"For a lazy taco night it's almost easier to toss this stuff on some ground beef and have quick tacos than run out for fast food. Cheaper too."
"Great taste. Good when using turkey also."
"This has a real strong or bold flavor without the "hot" on the tongue feeling/taste. I really like the stronger flavor in my meat mixtures with the meals."
"Simply the best tasting one of various mixes we've tried. We are on our 8th 24-pack."
"We like this over the other brands."
