Yo, ho, ho and a bottle of rum! Ahoy there me hearties! It’s me again, yer friendly app pirate ready to go on another exciting adventure around the seven seas. The crew and I were craving for authentic Mexican foods, and thankfully, we were sailing close to Mexico, so we decided to stop by to satisfy our cravings. We tried various Mexican foods, and my favorite was their tacos. One of the store owners even let us try to make our own tacos, which was an incredible experience. Me found a taco cooking game, which will remind me of that experience, and I will share it with ye in this app review. The game is called My Taco Shop: Food Game by Tapps Game.
It has an authentic Mexican feel
The tiles on the kitchen will immediately give you that Mexican vibe with the design and color. This also applies to the background that has brick walls and a variety of colors like orange, blue and green on the right side, which is so Mexican. Of course, the foods that you deserve are also Mexican. As per the game’s title, you will serve tacos on the first few levels. But you are not limited on that as you will unlock more Mexican dishes as you progress in the game.
Navigating through the kitchen is challenging
The basic gameplay is similar to other cooking and time management games where you prepare the orders and serve them to customers as fast as you can. However, most similar apps let you tap on the items to move them, but in this game, you need to drag the ingredients to cook, plate and serve them. It can be more challenging, especially when the game hangs and the ingredients are not moved.
It’s fun and challenging
The game is fun, especially if you are into cooking and time management games. It’s also challenging because there are no timers when cooking the food. So, it’s hard to determine if they are going to burn. It’s easier with other apps that have timers as you can tell right away which you need to take care of next. But it’s also part of the challenge, so it could also be a good thing for you if you want the game to be more difficult.
It’s free but the energy costs a lot
This is a free to play game that comes with advertisements. Every level costs 10 energy, so you could easily run out of energy for continuously playing. You need to wait to replenish your energy to keep playing, unless you want to buy energy with real money using in-app purchases. However, the energy can be expensive, which is at $1.99 for 50 energies as of this writing.
The good
It has an authentic Mexican vibe, and it’s also free to play. It’s a fun and challenging game that will keep you occupied.
The bad
You need to drag items to move them, and every level also requires 10 energy. Buying energy with real money is costly.
The verdict
We recommend My Taco Shop: Food Game if you are looking for a cooking game alternative, especially if you are into Mexican foods. It’s free to download and play, and it will give you a real Mexican vibe.
