Reviews mention

  • Vibrant, complex flavor profiles
  • Refreshing, crisp carbonation
  • Appealing, colorful packaging
  • Versatile, cocktail-ready mixer
  • Inconsistent flavor execution
  • Occasional overly strong pineapple
  • Some report stomach discomfort
  • Bitterness in certain flavors

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.

  • 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!

    Nothing I’m aware of

  • De La Calle! was the first brand of fermented drinks that I tried, so I think that played a role in my view of the product. The unique flavors are great; it just had a very strong taste I was not prepared for. Again, I think it would be excellent for people who enjoy fermented drinks.

  • De La Calle Tepache offers a unique twist on traditional drinks with its fermented pineapple base, but the flavor can be hit or miss. While the natural ingredients are a plus, some of the combinations, like Pineapple Spice, have a strong, overly spiced taste that might not appeal to everyone. It’s a great healthier alternative to sugary sodas, but the flavor profile could be more balanced. Still, if you’re into bold, fermented beverages, it’s definitely worth a try!

  • Cactus Prickly Pear is my family of 4's favorite! Once I found it at Target (originally I had a hard time finding it at grocery stores) I became a regular buyer. It is a fermented beverage and we like it with dinner.

  • This has been my drink of the summer! There's a few flavors I really don't like, but the others are amazing! If you like a little spicy (like a non-alc version of a spicy margarita), they have Pineapple Chili, Mango Chili, Watermelon Jalapeno and more. In the world of "healthy" soda pops out there, this drink is truly unique and delicious. Perfect for a refreshing afternoon beverage.

  • 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!

  • Super yummy and fun! A nice treat that is full of flavor. I buy these regularly and highly recommend them. The red can is my favorite.

  • 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.

  • So unique and the flavors are great! I also love the bright packaging. I love brands like this that introduce me to new flavor profiles and cultural traditions! I'm grateful that I came across this brand and learned about tepache!

  • I'm such a fan. I've never had tepache before but like some other reviews mentioned, it's like a less vinegary kombucha. Tamarind Citrus is sooo delightful.

  • This has a more pleasant flavor than the real tepache, clean and bright, not too sweet. I tried the original flavor and really liked it.

    The price per can is a bit steep at the store

  • I tried the cactus prickly pear drink and it was super good! It has just the right amount of taste and sweetness. The can is super cute too. It’s the perfect refreshing, bubbly drink. I would highly recommend!

  • Vibrant and unique tepache flavors! Lightly fizzy with a fun, fermented kick — a bold alternative to kombucha. Great for a gut-healthy boost, though some flavors can be a bit earthy and others a bit sweet for those watching their sugar intake.

  • Loveeeee!!! Just imagine beach or pool hangs with a tajin lined cup and picante mango chile flavored drink. If I ever see these drinks at the grocery store i always grab a few. But the red can is 10/10.

  • 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 like some of their flavors, but im not a huge fan of spiced flavors (i know ugh i WISH i did though!) i personally like the hibiscus flavor, and i like how they have no artificial sweeteners.

  • I love tepache in general and these drinks are so good and really embrace mexican culture which I love! So many good flavors to choose from

  • i love de la calle’s tepache drinks! i’ve tried a handful of flavors and have enjoyed them all. they have just enough “funk” and are just sweet enough for when you’re looking for something refreshing. i haven’t tried them like that, but they seem like they would also make great mixers.
