About Takis
Takis is a Mexican snack brand famous for its intensely spicy rolled tortilla chips, produced by Barcel (a subsidiary of Grupo Bimbo). Invented in Mexico in 1999 and shaped like miniature taquitos, Takis have become a global phenomenon particularly popular with younger snackers who crave bold, intense flavours. The flagship Fuego flavour, sold in distinctive purple bags, combines hot chilli pepper and lime and is rated "Extreme" on the spice scale. Other popular varieties include Blue Heat (a visually striking blue-coloured chilli lime variant), Dragon (sweet chilli), and Intense Nacho (cheese flavoured). Each crunchy rolled chip is designed for easy snacking or dipping. Originally aimed at Hispanic consumers in the Americas, Takis' fiery reputation has spread through social media and word of mouth, making them a cult favourite among spice enthusiasts worldwide. The rolled shape and concentrated seasoning deliver an intense flavour hit that sets them apart from traditional flat tortilla chips. Grocefully helps you find Takis at UK retailers including Iceland and specialist Mexican food stores, making it easy to get your hands on these famously spicy snacks without overpaying.
