"Great for Encouraging Positive Communication and Appreciation"
4/5
What do you like best about HeyTaco?

It is great for encouraging positive communication and compliments so that people feel appreciated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about HeyTaco?

I am not typically one to need or want compliments that feel forced or just to use up their tacos. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Una Japundza of HeyTaco

Thank you for sharing this — it’s a really thoughtful perspective 🌮💛

We love that you called out positive communication and appreciation. That’s the heart of HeyTaco.

And we completely agree with you on this: recognition should never feel forced. Tacos aren’t meant to be used up just because they’re there. The daily limit exists to encourage small, frequent appreciation — but it’s always optional. Some days you might give five. Some days you might give none. That’s okay.

The magic happens when tacos are tied to something specific and genuine — a thoughtful assist, a quiet save, a behind-the-scenes effort. When it’s real, it lands. When it feels obligatory, it loses impact — and we definitely don’t want that.

We’re glad HeyTaco is helping make recognition visible and fun on your team, and we appreciate you highlighting the importance of keeping it authentic. That’s what keeps the taco economy healthy 🌮✨

"Everyone loves hey taco!"
5/5
What do you like best about HeyTaco?

HeyTaco is fun for the workplace. I enjoy celebrating my coworkers' successes. It brings us closer as a team. It's quick and easy to use. I try to use it daily. I like being able to give out the stickers to multiple people at once. Easy to use in a work conversation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about HeyTaco?

What I dislike least is only having 5 daily tacos to give out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Una Japundza of HeyTaco

Thank you for such a thoughtful review — we love hearing that HeyTaco feels fun, easy to use, and something you reach for daily 🌮

It’s great to hear that celebrating coworkers’ successes is bringing your team closer. That everyday, in-the-flow recognition is exactly what helps culture feel alive instead of occasional.

We hear you on the 5 daily tacos 😄 The limit is intentional — a little scarcity helps keep recognition thoughtful and meaningful rather than automatic. That said, your admins can always adjust the daily taco amount if your team wants a bit more flexibility.

Thanks again for sharing — we’re so glad HeyTaco is helping create incentives and connection beyond just the paycheck.

"A Fun, Meaningful Way to Recognize Colleagues with Tacos"
5/5
What do you like best about HeyTaco?

It's super fun to send tacos to colleague, and to receive them. And it makes you pause and think about who deserves some praise, and tell them, which I likely wouldn't have done otherwise. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about HeyTaco?

Not much, maybe I wish I could also send tacos to my customers (I'm a CSM), in addition to peers? Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Una Japundza of HeyTaco

Sending tacos your customers is a fun idea - we are taking it to the drawing board! Thank you for the love 🌮

"Easy Colleague Recognition with Meaningful Rewards"
5/5
What do you like best about HeyTaco?

Connecting with my colleagues and giving them the recognition they deserve, including little rewards! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about HeyTaco?

Having only 5 tacos to give daily! But no significant issues really Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Una Japundza of HeyTaco

Thanks for sharing this — we’re so glad HeyTaco helps you connect with colleagues and recognize them with both appreciation and little rewards 🌮

Totally hear you on the daily taco limit. The limit is intentional and rooted in a bit of healthy scarcity — when tacos are limited, recognition tends to stay more thoughtful and meaningful, rather than automatic. It helps ensure that shoutouts reflect moments that really stand out.

We also love that you’re seeing how recognition highlights active, engaged community members — that visibility is a powerful side effect of peer appreciation.

Thanks again for the thoughtful feedback!

"Amazing Service"
4.5/5
What do you like best about HeyTaco?

It positively reinforces thanking other people for their work, and has drastically improved group work in our company. It's cheap to implement, and it's very easy to use in Slack. Customer support is helpful, and it has a range of features that include stickers, redeeming tacos, and more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about HeyTaco?

HeyTaco doesn't have a lot of room for part-time employees to earn the proportionate amount of tacos for their time spent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Una Japundza of HeyTaco

Thank you for such a thoughtful and detailed review 🌮💛 We love hearing how HeyTaco has improved collaboration and made recognition easier (and more fun) in Slack.

On part-time employees: that’s a great callout. How tacos are earned and redeemed is very much company-specific. Many teams choose to support part-time employees by:

Adjusting reward values or redemption options so tacos feel proportionate to time worked

Offering non-monetary or team-based rewards that everyone can participate in equally

Using tacos primarily as recognition and visibility, not as a strict compensation proxy

Because tacos are about appreciation first, teams have flexibility in how they translate recognition into rewards in a way that feels fair for full-time, part-time, and contract employees alike.

We really appreciate you sharing this perspective. Thoughtful considerations like this are what help teams build inclusive recognition programs that actually work 🌮✨
