De La Calle! earns strong reviews as a flavorful, refreshing tepache that often outshines kombucha—praised for vibrant, spicy-fruity flavors like Tradicional (pineapple spice), Mango Chili, Watermelon Jalapeño, Ginger Manzana, Tamarind Citrus, and Grapefruit Lime. Reviews also flag inconsistency across SKUs (some bitter, overly spicy, or too sweet), occasional strong pineapple notes, and a few reports of stomach discomfort, so flavor choice matters.

Such a fun flavor and so yummy. Honestly all of the flavours are super innovative and tasty. Watermelon jalapeño definitely great for a summer day. Poured this over ice and makes a great alcohol alternative too!

I really enjoyed this flavor of this brand. It is light and fruity. If you’ve ever tried orangina, it does taste similar to that as far as on orange soda goes.

My favorite fermented beverage. I love the strong flavors. I don't want weak-sauce flavor from something I'm buying. I'll drink water if I want no flavors. Or maybe some water with a little juice mixed in. This is for people who want to experience a fruit-forward, spicy explosion. I also love that they don't cover their cans in plastic like a lot of companies are doing these days. Easy to recycle cans are the best.

De La Calle’s Tepache is hands-down one of my favorite discoveries! I’ve never tasted anything quite like it — it’s bubbly, lightly fermented, and perfectly balanced between tangy, fruity, and just a hint of spice depending on the flavor. You can tell they use high-quality, organic ingredients — the pineapple flavor really shines through without being overly sweet. I love that it’s a gut-friendly alternative to soda or kombucha, with a much smoother, less vinegary finish. It’s refreshing, hydrating, and feels like a treat and a wellness boost all in one. Whether I’m sipping it in the afternoon or pairing it with a meal, it always hits the spot. Every flavor I’ve tried has been delicious, and I love that the brand celebrates Mexican tradition while creating something modern and accessible. Definitely recommend De La Calle Tepache to anyone who wants something different, tasty, and better-for-you!

I opened the pineapple spice flavor on a warm afternoon this summer and was surprised by the flavor - in a good way!! De La Calle is skillful at adding spice to a drink without it tasting like chemicals! Would definitely recommend to a friend!

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.

Tried the prickly pear flavor of this drink and really loved it. Similar vibes to kombucha, really like that it’s available in a can rather than glass bottle. Very refreshing, definitely recommend having it chilled.

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?

They have some fun flavors. I’ve tried the pineapple, prickly pear and the mango. I’d say the prickly pear is our favorite. These are great to use for mocktails and cocktails. Add a little punch to it and tastes great.

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.

I think the beverages from De La Calle are very fun and interesting to drink. Their packaging is so cute and vibrant - very suitable with the flavors. I also liked that they are made form organic ingredients.

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 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?

I am not a big fan of mineralized watered drinks but the bubbles in this drink are quite lovely and the flavor was delicious!

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!

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!
