Would be okay, if it wasn't for the cilantro. Wish they would have advertised that it had cilantro.

They are ok but not as good as the delimex taquitos which is out of stock because they are the best. I’m not a fan of this product. The delimex reminds me of the ones you get on the beach in California. This brand is just okay.

Normally I like these quite a bit but I just opened this box and air fried 4 of them. Only 2 had fillings while the other 2 did not. Pretty sad if this is how they are going to be cutting costs.
Delicious!

I keep coming to buy more of these taquitos! There really aren't many unique options out there as far as taquitos go but these take the cake. They have far more flavor than your average and my entire family loves them. A must try!

My husband and son are a huge fan of these. When cooked in the air fryer they are extra crunchy, just like in the name.

The airfryer is one of our favorite places to cook our taquitos, too! We're so glad your husband and son are huge fans. We look forward to serving you again soon!

I’m obsessed with these. They have become a new grocery staple item for me. They bake perfectly crispy each time and make for a very satisfying light lunch or heavy snack.

Crispy and flavorful snack/quick lunch. Little spicy, but they are awesome in the air fryer! They remind me of the southwest appetizers from Rainforest Cafe or Applebee's. They are airy/light on the filling, but so delicious anyways! I plan to purchase more!

They’re decent, not as flavorful as I hoped. I won’t purchase again, I’ll just get the chicken and cheese version if I do. I don’t know why they advertise it chicken because there isn’t any inside. Just corn, beans, spinach and cheese.
