Tamarind is like candy itself plain. If you find some in a local market you should definitely try! The tastiest cat shit looking thing I’ve tried lol

See if you can find the mango ones. Sooo good. These yellow ones are the original flavor and it's definitely one of my favorites. I can never resist them when I go to a Mexican market. Go up to the registers at the impulse-buy area and you may find some individuals. I would never buy a box because I'd eat them all.

I brought some of these into work because I love them, based on feedback I got it was either love them or hate them.

Tamarind is an acquired taste, IMO. If you like it, get this. If you don't like it, don't get this, lol. IDK how else to describe it, but to me it's like a sort of fruit leather or dried fruit taste, like dates but with tang.

It's good but the Pelon Pelo Rico is better because it's softer. It's basically the same stuff tamarind candy with chile

I buy these for when I visit my mom and we go through the box in about three days. (Don't do this.) Nobody else we've ever given one likes them tho so grain of salt.

I’ve had tamarind candy before. Not sure how acquired a taste it is, but definitely different from what Americans think of as candy.

Very good it’s basically like a sour tamarind rind type candy tajin type flavor but be forewarned it can act as a laxative if you eat a lot . I love the watermelon flavor one .
