    Uhh, what happened to the filling? The tortilla-to-filling ratio has changed significantly over time! Not bad, but also not the best.

    Little to no chicken, buyer beware

    Stay as far away as you can — these barely have any chicken in them it’s awful. Ended up throwing the rest of them away and will never buy again.

    Disappointed on the Filling of Taquitos

    I was really disappointed on how thin and skinny the chicken & cheese taquitos were. You could barely even taste the chicken. Everything just blended, you would think they would be fuller and for the price never again. Don't be fooled by the picture on the box.

    No Filling At All

    Some have no filling at all!! How did they pass QA?! i thought people were exaggerating about the filling. I've been buying these for 5 months with no issues but the last 3 boxes I got have several with ZERO filling!!

    Crunchy and delicious

    Not sure why the reviews are so bad. I’m in my late 20s and have been eating these since I was like 11… they’re so good in the air fryer, crispy but still chewy in middle, not soggy. So good w hot sauce as a dip! yummy flavor inside and I love the texture. And I don’t like big chicken chunks so I don’t agree w the “chickens too small” I guess it’s preference. These are great for a party or for dinner as an easy portion

    Long time favorite now a disappointment

    They’re significantly smaller and taste different. We loved these for a long time but the quality and price have removed these from rotation in our house.

    Thank you for your feedback. We are very sorry for your experience and regret that the sizing and flavor was not what you've come to expect.

    They are good.

    I like these a lot despite what everyone is saying. My delivery 🚚 has been with full puffy chicken/cheese taquitos. I just microwave them and dip in good & gather guacamole. My complaint is how long it takes for delivery and think the thaw a bit on the road here. In addition, they are SO EXPENSIVE! I really like Red burritos 🌯 but they are expensive too! Ugh 😩 Target 🎯 lower your prices man!

    Crispy & flavorful!

    I don’t really understand the bad reviews because I actually love these taquitos. They make for such a quick and easy dinner or snack. If you bake or air fry them for the right amount of time, they turn out crispy and delicious! I like to top them off with some sour cream and pico de gallo. Now I will say, I don’t believe a box of only 20 tiny taquitos is worth $8. But, would I totally buy them again? Yes LOL.
    1 reply from El Monterey Consumer Care team - 1 year ago
    The airfryer is one of our favorite places to cook our taquitos, too, and we agree that toppings can definitely enhance the experience. Thank you for sharing these helpful tips, Chall! Thanks for being a fan!

    Spicy!

    Got these for a quick snack for my kids. These are spicy. Like actually spicy. Wasted $8 on food my kids won’t eat. Was not expecting that considering the package doesn’t hint spice at all. The flavor is okay but it’s mostly tortilla.

    Thank you for your feedback, Riley. We are sorry that the spiciness level was not what you or your kids had expected. We hope that you'll give some of our other items a try. We're confident that you'll find a favorite!
