"Essential for Team Recognition, Could Use More Flexible Redemption Settings"
5/5
What do you like best about HeyTaco?

It really allows our team to celebrate each other and recognize the work and support that people are doing. We started using it during COVID as a means to stay connected and it's now become an integral part of our team culture. It is really easy to implement and use for both the management and the team members. And it's just a fun tool. We use it literally every day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about HeyTaco?

The only thing I can think of is that the settings for redemption could be more complex - we had to set up some different "levels" ourself for people who've been at the company different lengths of time and that would be a cool feature to have natively. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Una Japundza of HeyTaco

Thank you so much for this thoughtful review — it means a lot to hear that HeyTaco became part of your culture during COVID and has stayed an everyday ritual 🌮

We love that it’s helping your team stay connected, recognized, and having fun — especially in a remote environment.

And thank you for the feedback around more advanced redemption settings. That’s a really thoughtful suggestion, and we appreciate you sharing how you’ve creatively built levels to support tenure. Ideas like this help shape how we think about future improvements.

Thanks again for being such an engaged part of the HeyTaco community!

"A Fun, Public Way to Give Kudos—Stickers Make Sharing Tacos Easy"
4.5/5
What do you like best about HeyTaco?

It's a public way to give kudos to a coworker and I like that stickers simplify giving tacos to multiple people at once. It's nice that tacos are also tied, if in a very minor way, to a potential real life reward. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about HeyTaco?

I don't love how obtaining stickers is obfusfacted. I wish I better understood how to get them, because running out of stickers after a big project launch or a team event is kind of sad, because I only get 5 a day Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Una Japundza of HeyTaco

This is such a thoughtful review — thank you for taking the time to share it 🌮

We love that you called out the public kudos piece. That’s exactly why HeyTaco exists: recognition shouldn’t live in DMs. It should live where everyone can see it, pile on, and feel it. Especially on remote-first teams where those small moments matter more than ever.

And yes to stickers making it easier to spread the taco love far and wide 🙌

On the sticker front — totally fair feedback. They’re intentionally earned (not unlimited), but we hear you that the “how” can feel a little mysterious. The goal is to keep them meaningful, but never confusing or frustrating — especially after a big project launch when the gratitude is flowing. We’re always looking at ways to make unlock energy clearer without turning it into a math problem.

Thanks again for sharing your experience. And may your next big launch come with fully stocked stickers 🌮✨

"Shoutouts That Strengthen Our Org-Wide Culture"
4.5/5
What do you like best about HeyTaco?

I like the ability to shout out teammates, and the resulting culture that activity drives org-wide Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about HeyTaco?

Idk, the taco thing feels "2010s trendy" but it's still effective Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Una Japundza of HeyTaco

Dan, thanks so much for the kind words! 🌮 Love hearing that HeyTaco is helping shrink the org and build those positive team connections. And fair point on the tacos — they may be a little retro, but hey, so are breakfast burritos and we're not giving those up either. 😄

"Fun, Easy Way to Celebrate Coworkers with HeyTaco"
5/5
What do you like best about HeyTaco?

HeyTaco is a FUN way to express thanks to your coworkers for everything they do! It has encouraged so many compliments (we use it all the time!) within our organization and it is fun and easy! We love sharing breakfast tacos and spicy tacos and have fun with it :) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about HeyTaco?

I thought 5 tacos a day was a lot, but we actually could use more! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Una Japundza of HeyTaco

This review is pure taco joy 🌮🔥 — thank you for sharing it!

We love hearing how much fun your team is having with it (breakfast tacos and spicy tacos? elite combo). That playful energy is exactly what helps compliments turn into a real habit instead of a once-in-a-while thing.

On the 5 tacos a day — you’re not alone 😉 It sounds generous, and then suddenly it’s noon and they’re gone. That limit is very intentional. A daily cap keeps appreciation thoughtful and meaningful, while encouraging it to happen frequently instead of all at once. It also helps tacos keep their “wow” factor, rather than turning into background noise.

The good news: if your team is constantly running out, that’s usually a sign of a very healthy recognition culture 🥳 And admins can always bump the daily taco limit for special moments like launches, team wins, or appreciation days.

Thanks for being such enthusiastic taco sharers — keep the compliments (and the spice) coming 🌮💛

What do you dislike about HeyTaco?

Response from Una Japundza of HeyTaco

Christian, thanks for the kind words and the honest feedback! 🌮 We hear you on smaller teams feeling at a disadvantage on the leaderboards — great input we'll pass along. On taco placement, good news: you can add the taco anywhere in your message, front or back!

"Fun, Meaningful Acknowledgements That Help Coworkers Feel Appreciated"
4/5
What do you like best about HeyTaco?

It’s fun to give acknowledgements, and it helps my coworkers feel appreciated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about HeyTaco?

the sticker program was nice but has to be discontinued due to errors Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Una Japundza of HeyTaco

We love hearing that tacos are helping your team feel appreciated 🌮💛 Giving teammates a little shine never gets old.

On stickers — totally fair. Stickers are optional, and some teams choose to turn them off if they want to keep things simpler or focus purely on taco recognition. It really comes down to what fits your team’s culture best.

The good news is that admins can always revisit that setting if the team decides they’d like to bring them back in the future.

Thanks for sharing your experience and for being part of such a thoughtful, appreciative team 🌮✨
