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.

  • 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

  • I only like the tamarind and grapefruit flavor. Those ones are so so so so good. But the other flavors are disgusting

  • So many flavors and all so delicious! The product itself as well as the flavor combinations are unique and exciting. Also a great mixer to add to alcohol!

  • I had never heard of Tepache before, and I was intrigued to try something new- sometimes kombucha can be... eh. Holy moly, this is one of my new fixation drinks. I have only found it at one grocery store here in my town, so the flavors available are limited, but the ones I've tried have been so tasty. I really enjoy drinking it and I can't wait to find other flavors!

  • As a Latina who’s always nostalgic for classic Mexican flavors, I really enjoy Tepache. It’s a fermented beverage similar to kombucha, but I’ve found it more reasonably priced and less vinegary—great for those who aren’t into the strong taste of kombucha. I love that it’s a somewhat "healthy" drink that promotes gut health and is low in sugar. Since I don’t drink soda, this is my go-to when I want a treat. My favorite flavors are cactus prickly pear, watermelon jalapeño, hibiscus citrus, and mango chili. I usually pick these up at Target, though I haven’t found them at any other stores.

  • I really enjoy these. The flavors are delightful, the carbonation level is perfect! I think I have tried all the flavors at this point, and really like the pineapple chili. I tend to find them at more specialty markets.

  • I’m always looking for tasty and low sugar carbonated drinks and these totally hit the mark!

  • I’ve tried the prickly pear flavor one time and didn’t mind it, but the flavor wasn’t memorable enough and the cost is too high for me to repurchase.

  • I want one right now. Perfectly fizzy and not to sweet either.

  • All the flavors are amazing! My favorite are Watermelon Jalapeño and Grapefruit Lime. They’re refreshing without being overly sweet

  • Just very good and refreshing drink that’s a great alternative to soda.

  • I saw this brand at Target and was immediately pulled by the flavor options and packaging. I grabbed the Prickly Pear Cactus flavor and ran home. To my detriment, at first smell I was a little confused, so I smelled again and there was a hindering smell of (trigger warning) vomit. I could not describe it other than just that. Reluctant to now taste it, I am happy to report the taste does not relate. However, it was hard to drink because of the smell. I’ve been hesitant to try other flavors.

  • Love these drinks and the fun flavors. A unique alternative to my usual kombucha. And cute branding! Excited to see how the flavors evolve.

    Feedback

    Would recommend if you know you like the taste of kombucha / fermented beverages, as it is definitely still strong in that flavor profile.

  • I LOVE this fermented bev. So fresh and fun—great solo, and as a mixer for booze!

  • Tried the Mango Chili and absolutely loved it. Excited to get my hands on more flavors now that they are in Whole Foods.

  • Adored my first experience with this brand and its products. Had Chamoy and it was awesome. Most seltzers or 'healthy sodas' are too sweet for my tastes; these were savory, tangy and even genuinely spicy. Would probably also make a fab mixer.
