"HeyTaco Brings Our Team Together Like Nothing Else"
5/5
What do you like best about HeyTaco?

I love how HeyTaco helps bring teams together. I’ve worked with a lot of organizations that want to build strong team support, but my current one is the only one that uses HeyTaco, and I’ve never been part of a closer team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about HeyTaco?

I really wish HeyTaco would send reminders when my stickers are about to expire. I end up wasting stickers all the time because I forget to give them out in time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Una Japundza of HeyTaco

Ooo we love this one — because it’s good news 🌮✨

First: thank you for sharing that feedback. Requests like this are exactly how we shape HeyTaco.

And here’s the update: stickers no longer expire. 🙌

We heard from teams that it felt frustrating to unlock something fun and then worry about “using it in time.” So we changed it. Once you’ve unlocked a sticker, it’s yours to use — no countdown, no disappearing act.

What still resets is unlock progress toward earning new stickers (to encourage consistent recognition habits), but your earned stickers are safe and ready whenever the moment strikes.

We’re incredibly grateful for feedback like yours. A lot of our best improvements come directly from thoughtful users who care about making recognition better.

Keep the stickers flowing 🌮💛

"HeyTaco Makes Giving Kudos Feel Tangible and Fun"
4.5/5
What do you like best about HeyTaco?

It’s a fun way to give kudos that actually feels tangible. In the corporate world, we don’t always call out the “good enough,” and HeyTaco helps remind us to do that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about HeyTaco?

I think there’s an opportunity to add a reminder if you haven’t given out all 10 tacos in a day. For example, a notification around 4:30 could let you know you still have “x number of tacos” available to give. That would encourage more usage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Una Japundza of HeyTaco

Thank you so much for this — and we love that you're so committed to making sure your teammates feel appreciated! 🌮 The end-of-day reminder idea is a great one, and we'll pass it along to the team. In the meantime, keep spreading those good vibes!

"Fun Way to Share Appreciation, but Needs More Options Than Just Tacos"
3.5/5
What do you like best about HeyTaco?

tacos are a fun way to spread some love through the workplace. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about HeyTaco?

I would like to give hot dogs. I would like to give hugs. I'd like to give all sorts of other things. Would be cool if an org could allow for additional items other than tacos.. I know, I know.. but it wasn't like twitter started as a right wing propaganda tool -- that is just what it became. Initially it was to share low character count updates that allowed for fast engagement and trends to hit quickly allowing the sharing of events in real time across the world.

Maybe this is a really bad example, I don't think adding hot dogs or other things for people to give would lead in this direction. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Una Japundza of HeyTaco

Thanks so much for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful (and entertaining 😊) review!

We love hearing that tacos have been a fun way for your team to spread appreciation—creating moments of genuine “hey, I see you” is exactly what we’re here for 🌮

On the hot dogs / hugs / other things front: you’re definitely not the first person to ask! We’ve been very intentional about keeping one shared currency. It may sound small, but having a single, playful symbol helps teams build a common language of gratitude rather than fragmenting recognition into lots of different “things.” That consistency is what turns tacos from a novelty into a real habit. (Also, tacos have a pretty strong track record 😉)

Your question about morale and who receives tacos is an important one—and it gets to the heart of why HeyTaco is designed the way it is. The daily taco limit exists to encourage thoughtful, intentional recognition, not popularity contests or “spray and pray” shoutouts. When used well, we often see tacos go to people who might otherwise fly under the radar—helpful teammates, behind-the-scenes contributors, and folks doing the unglamorous but essential work.

Like any tool, the impact depends on how a team uses it, but our goal is always to make recognition more inclusive, more visible, and more human.

We really appreciate you sharing both the praise and the questions—it’s conversations like these that help teams get the most out of HeyTaco. 🌮💛

"Tacos for everyone!!"
5/5
What do you like best about HeyTaco?

A new and fun way to show simple feelings like gratitude Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about HeyTaco?

might be biased answering this because I’m obsessed with fun and unconventional routines like the one HeyTaco brings. But for me, what’s really missing is something I value a lot, which is consistency, whether it shows up as recognition or as tacos. Lots of tacos for everyone! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Una Japundza of HeyTaco

Thiago, we love your enthusiasm — tacos for everyone indeed! 🌮 Great point on consistency; showing up regularly is what makes recognition really stick. We're glad HeyTaco is bringing some fun and positivity to your team's day!

Really low weight and high impact/scalable way to build in recognition into a remote-first work environment Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about HeyTaco?

Occasionally some small glitches with the usage of the stickers feature, but overall works very smoothly/effectively Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Fun, Easy Way to Build Culture and Appreciation with HeyTaco"
5/5
What do you like best about HeyTaco?

HeyTaco is great for immediately making new employees feel a part of the company culture, as well as maintaining that culture of respect, fun, and appreciation for employees along their career with a company! HeyTaco is fun and easy to use, motivational, and very interactive. It also rarely has down time and integrates very well with Slack. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about HeyTaco?

Honestly, nothing. I hope every company I work with in my career uses HeyTaco! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Una Japundza of HeyTaco

This made our whole team smile! 🌮 Comments like yours are exactly why we do what we do. So glad HeyTaco has helped make every workplace you've been a part of feel more fun, welcoming, and connected. Here's hoping for many more taco-filled companies in your future!

"Motivating Peer Recognition with Real Rewards"
5/5
What do you like best about HeyTaco?

I love that HeyTaco includes a monetary component, which is a significant motivation factor and truly rewards employees. I've been at places with just shout outs and visibility, so having this tangible reward is huge. I also think the increase in taco value by tenure is great, as it rewards employees for sticking around. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about HeyTaco?

There nothing that I dislike about HeyTaco Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Una Japundza of HeyTaco

Thank you for sharing this — we’re so glad HeyTaco strikes the right balance for you.

We agree that tangible rewards can be a powerful complement to recognition, especially when they’re paired with genuine appreciation rather than replacing it. The tenure-based taco value is an awesome way to reward long-term commitment while keeping recognition rooted in everyday moments and peer acknowledgment.

Really appreciate you taking the time to leave a review — feedback like this helps us keep that balance thoughtful and intentional. 🌮

"We Love HeyTaco!! Worth It Once You See Everything It Offers"
5/5
What do you like best about HeyTaco?

We love HeyTaco!!

I have to say, I was skeptical about the value at first, until I learned more about everything they offer. Now I genuinely recommend using them.

On top of that, they seem like good people and are very open to feedback, in case that matters to you! :) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about HeyTaco?

This is a tough one. I feel like whatever I dislike is just a setting I can change. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Una Japundza of HeyTaco

Mahsa, thank you for the kind words 🌮❤️ This review made our day. Thank you for being a part of the Taco Economy!

"Wonderful product that creates a fun encouraging atmosphere at work while boosting spirits."
5/5
What do you like best about HeyTaco?

The fun atmosphere. Way to thank people publicly for their hard work and support. It is easy to use. Our team is really engaged. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about HeyTaco?

I haven't found anything that I dislike about HeyTaco yet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Una Japundza of HeyTaco

Lori, thank you so much for the kind words! 🌮 "Fun and encouraging" is exactly the vibe we're going for — and knowing HeyTaco is helping your remote team feel closer together makes it all worth it. Keep those tacos flying!

"Great Team Building Addition to Slack!"
4.5/5
What do you like best about HeyTaco?

I love that it seemlessly integrates into our regular workday. Our company is remote-first and this is a wonderful way to reward one another and spark joy amongst our various team members nationwide. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about HeyTaco?

It's not quite as easy to find the stickers (ie. a Taco Boquet). It would be great if you could see your "taco shop" directly in Slack instead of logging into a browser and use it all in one spot. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Una Japundza of HeyTaco

We love hearing this — recognition that fits naturally into the workday is exactly what HeyTaco is built for 🌮💛 And we’re especially glad it’s sparking joy across a remote-first team.

On stickers: great news — you don’t need to leave Slack to give them. You can view and send stickers right in Slack using the /stickers command. That’ll show you the stickers you have available so you can drop a Taco Bouquet (or any other sticker) right where the celebration is happening.

The Taco Shop itself still lives in the browser for rewards and redemptions, but day-to-day recognition — tacos and stickers — can stay fully in Slack.

Thanks for sharing your experience and for helping celebrate wins across your team 🌮✨
