HeyTaco Reviews & Product Details

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

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.

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.

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.

This year, our team began using HeyTaco as a fun way to recognize each other's efforts by giving out “tacos.” These tacos can be exchanged for rewards such as free coffee, office supplies, or even a half day off. One of the most meaningful rewards, however, was the opportunity to donate to charity. The person who contributed the most tacos to this charity fund got to choose where our donation would go. In my opinion, HeyTaco is valuable not just for fostering company recognition, but also for building a sense of community. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I'm not a fan of the fact that some of the prizes involve LinkedIn posts, mentorship, or conversations with company leaders. It doesn't sit well with me to see opportunities like these placed behind a 'pay wall.' Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This is the best gamification service, helping our community engage in new and exciting ways. We truly appreciate all our active members, whether they are asking questions or providing answers. Every contribution counts, and in our community, tacos are the perfect currency to express that appreciation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When someone responds to a question and includes other people in their message, the taco is given not to the person who actually answered, but to those who were mentioned or tagged in that message. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love how HeyTaco encourages peer-to-peer recognition in a lighthearted and engaging way. It has strengthened our team culture and helped everyone feel appreciated. The integration with Slack is seamless, and the daily use makes recognition part of our routine. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There’s really nothing I dislike about HeyTaco itself. However, I would love to see more reward options available in Mexico. For example, having a digital rewards card that works like a debit card would be a great addition for redeeming tacos locally. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I'm writing this as just an end-user, and not someone who implemented the product.

It's nice to have a channel to send shout outs to your colleagues. There's exec visibility, so I'd like to think this helps them get more insight into who works hard and makes stuff happen for their team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I'm not really sure what the outcomes are. I think I get stickers and can share stickers with people. If execs/management aren't following the channel closely, is there any notification they get saying "hey - your IC got 30 tacos!"? Maybe there is, but it's not super clear to me if they actually see things and so whether or not you end up getting the credit for a job well done. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The tacos themselves send a positive message. I am for anything that contributes to a positive or uplifting feeling. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Taco messages are not private and can sometimes be seen by people outside the company, like clients. This creates a risk of unintended oversharing, especially if someone includes a company name by mistake. While this hasn’t happened to me personally, I've seen it cause uncomfortable situations for others. I think having more guidance or nudges to use DMs in certain cases would help reduce these risks and improve the overall experience. Apparently, this isn't something directly controlled by HeyTaco, so I gave an 8 overall.

It can sometimes be hard for me to shift gears during a busy day to write a thoughtful message, even though the intent behind it is appreciated, but this is a very minor issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy taco reactions to add on and echo what others are saying. It's easy to use once you get a hang of it. I use it every work day and it's satisfying to collect the tacos. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Only five tacos a day is a little limiting. It would be nice to have the stickers available in Slack. The stickers were confusing to me at first, but I figured out how they worked. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sending tacos is a lighthearted way to show appreciation that is quick, informal, and surprisingly meaningful. Tacos boost team morale and spread corporate culture by allowing frequent peer-to-peer shoutouts to help build a culture of gratitude and visibility, especially for remote teams.

Seamlessly integrates with Slack, so recognition occurs right in the flow of daily communication. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I feel frustrated when popular taco stickers are limited. Frequent taco alerts can clutter Slack channels or distract from core work, leading to notification overload. I would like to be able to mute a specific channel until a certain time of day. I want more emoji options, themed tacos, or deeper personalization features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ease of changing the rewards, feeling valued, and having various options. The implementation time to meet goals and purposes, the day support failed, they resolved it quickly, almost within 24 hours. I use it daily, it's wonderful, it's easy to integrate as an incentive in a company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

the time it takes to gather the necessary amount to access the rewards, sometimes the app fails since it was linked to Slack. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
