What Is Taquitos.net? A Guide to the Snack Review Archive

Updated

Taquitos.net is a long-running snack review site that catalogs chips, pretzels, cheese puffs, candy bars, and more from around the world. According to its homepage, the site's reviewers have eaten 12,142 snacks across 167 flavors, 2,140 companies, and 96 countries—a quest it says has been running for 26 years. It's useful if you want to browse snacks by brand, country, flavor, or type, or check whether a specific product has already been reviewed.

What the site actually contains

The homepage presents the archive as a set of overlapping indexes rather than a single feed:

  • 12,142 snack reviews in total
  • 167 brands and 167 flavors
  • 91 snack types
  • 2,140 companies
  • 96 countries

Each review is tied to a product, and the site organizes those products along several browsing paths.

How to browse the archive

The navigation offers five main ways to explore, plus featured lists:

Browse by Examples from the site
Brand Lay's, Oreo, Doritos, Pringles, Cheetos, Herr's, Utz, Reese's
Country Snacks grouped by country of origin
Flavor Chocolate, Hot, Barbecue, Peanuts, Cheddar, Caramel
Type Potato Chips, Bars, Cookies, Popcorn, Pretzels, Cheese Puffs
Company Frito-Lay, Utz, Snyders-Lance, Kellogg's

The scale of each category varies widely. Potato Chips is the largest type at 2,577 snacks, followed by Bars (1,197) and Cookies (960). Among flavors, Chocolate leads at 2,526 snacks, with Hot at 1,591 and Barbecue at 584. Brand counts also differ a lot: Lay's has 396 flavors listed, Oreo 250, Doritos 240, and Pringles 227.

Featured lists and recurring content

Beyond the indexes, Taquitos.net highlights curated collections and editorial pieces. The homepage links to:

  • Worst Ever and Best Ever snack lists
  • Most Popular snacks
  • Best Names
  • Dedicated pages like "All the Takis flavors!" and "Shaq-shaped gummies"
  • Classics such as "The Last Word on French Fries," a Snack Mascots Gallery, and a George Lucas Diet page

There's also a "Just added" section showing recent reviews—for example, Doritos Dinamita Extra Rich Cheese, Great Value Rolled Tortilla Chips Chile Adobo, and M&M's Milk Chocolate Pumpkin Pie—and the site notes it tweets every snack it eats via @TaquitosDotNet on X.

Who it's for

This site suits you if you want a reference archive rather than a shopping or nutrition tool. It's most helpful when you're trying to:

  • Find out whether a specific snack has been reviewed
  • Compare flavors within a brand (Lay's, Oreo, and Doritos have the deepest flavor counts)
  • Explore snacks by country or type you haven't tried
  • Read editorial picks like best/worst or best-named snacks

The homepage does not display pricing, purchase links, or payment options, so treat it as a review and catalog resource rather than a store.
