My husband and I tasted this and we both thought it was somewhat bland in flavor and we didn’t detect any pear. It was just a smidge spicy, but not in a good way. It’s very lightly carbonated and left a weird aftertaste. Not refreshing at all and a little of a disappointment.

It was Ok, but a bit too expensive to buy again. Wasn’t too sweet.

I'm so surprised by how delicious ALL the flavors taste. They're unique and refreshing, and the level of carbonation was perfect. Bonus points for the design and packaging! I have been repurchasing the variety pack for a few times now. 10/10!

I usually give fermented drinks the side eye because they can be pretty hit or miss with their flavors. This stuff was great. No boozy aftertaste and the flavors are pretty unique too! I can’t say for sure about the health benefits but if you’re looking for alternatives to soda or kombucha this is for you!
I've only tried two flavors from this brand, but I've liked what I've tried. My favorite of the two is the tropical flavor because the aftertaste reminds me of gummy bears. The aftertaste of the grapefruit lime one is more alcoholic in nature, but I didn't personally mind it.

The pineapple slice tepache is absolutely delicious. I've never had a fermented drink that tasted as uniquely good as this! Pineapple, black pepper and cinnamon taste excellent together!
Different in a good way, nicely carbonated (stronger than Olipop, closer to a Pellegrino). Like the Tamarind Citrus a lot 🍍

Same question as I have to other canned bev brands: Should I take the plastic film off before recycling?
I am not a big fan of mineralized watered drinks but the bubbles in this drink are quite lovely and the flavor was delicious!
I have seen this brand many times at the store but for some reason never purchased it until reading about it here (!!) but it's SO GOOD. I want to try every flavor now.

Marketing maybe? How come I had never tried this delicious brand before?

Was not expecting it to be so tasty. I have tried a few different flavors so far, and I enjoyed them all. Love the low sugar too.

mango chili is yummy but might be even better with a lil more heat.

De La Calle! Is definitely my top favorite drink right now. As a Latino who loves to try new and exciting drinks, I definitely connected with this brand and their mission. I’ve never actually had tepache before until De La Calle! and I’m glad I got introduced to it through them. Most drinks are too sweet, but not them… they’ve got the best flavors and ingredients. My favorite is the tamarind citrus & mango chili! Do yourself a favor and try them!!

Delicious! Such a unique and tasty flavor. My favorite is chamoy. It’s complex flavors that work well together. Some flavors may be too spicy for the general public.

Larger cans!

Where do I start? Tepache is a fermented drink but that is where the kombucha comparisons can stop because instead of tasting like semi-palatable vinegar soda (no offense, 'bucha) it tastes sweet but not too sweet and tropically amazing. De La Calle goes up a notch or ten by using only organic ingredients and somehow making a drink that is bubbly and perfectly (but not too) sweet coming in at like 60 calories. I like it spicy so I loved Watermelon Jalapeño, Chamoy, & mango Chili. My kids are less badass and like the ginger manzana. I have been known to mix adult elevating substances with my De la Calle, it tastes delish with it without.

Force stores who stock it to carry the best three flavors (chamoy, watermelon jalapeño, & mango chili, Obvs).

I've taken a step back from alcohol over the past year, and spent a lot of time trying nonalcoholic beverages to find that perfect replacement. This is it! Perfectly bubbly, a little sweet, tons of flavor. It's so refreshing! I can't stop recommending this to all of my friends!

The flavors and ingredients are fire! I don’t drink soda, kombucha it’s alcohol so this has been the best thing to hit the market for me! Perfect blend of great flavor, quality ingredients, low sugar and a little bubble. Branding is also on point!

YUM-MY! I am on a mission to try every fancy soda/bevvie on the market and these are my latest discovery and my newest favorite. I've tried 2 flavors so far and the flavor is so full and juicy—addicting! These are fizzy, not too sweet but manage to have interesting flavors and flavor combo options. Spicy pineapple is EVERYTHING. I've been cutting out alcohol this year and spicy margs were my weakness and the Pineapple Chili has been the perfect replacement for me. Next one I want to try is the spicy mango option. The branding is also on point. So fun, the cans are really eye-catching and stand out in the soda section. Price-wise, I think they're on par with a kombucha, which is a bit more expensive than a regular soda. This is worth it to me because I've been using them as a cocktail replacement which is obviously cheaper than going out. I have been craving these nonstop, I can't wait for more grocers to carry them and to try more flavors!
I think the packaging colors are eye catching for sure! The flavor could be slightly better, I can’t say I’ve tried every single one. Slightly a little bitter but wouldn’t say horrible. I tried the tropical as well, feel like that’s a little more bitter. Would want to try other flavors In order to better determine
Picked this up to try the other day and was pleasantly surprised! Really cool depth of flavor that I usually don't get with my other go-to drinks like kombucha or yerba mate. Maybe not what I'd grab for an every day drink, but I really liked this!
I honestly hated this, it is so bitter, it does definitely have a flavor but I can not tell you how disgusted I was by it.
