I can’t believe this is a bestseller! A coworker recommended this book for my grandchildren. I was so excited to finally get this book. What a disappointment! There is no character development and no real story. “ Dragons love tacos and hate spicy salsa” …..end of story. The dragon illustrations aren’t even good. It is total nonsense. It is better to stick with the classics! I would honestly give it zero stars. I can’t believe it got published.

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't judge a book by it's cover

Book review: DON'T JUDGE A BOOK BY IT'S COVER.... Lesson learned.

Why this book you ask? Well, I will tell you a little story of how this book crossed my path. It started out as an innocent idea. A Book Themed Baby Shower, who wouldn't love that! I scoured the Internet, I camped out at book stores, traveled around the world in search of perfection, for the party. I had almost given up on my search, when a glimpsed a title, that couldn't possibly lead me astray... Or so I thought. Look at the title, no really look at it. Dragons Love Tacos. Who doesn't love dragons, and who doesn't love tacos? This is fantastic; a baby shower gold mine, if you will. Without a second thought, I placed my order. Waiting the two days, for my prime shipping, was hell on my nerves. When the parcel arrived, I was like a child, on Christmas morning. I flung open the door, grabbed for the packages, and almost forgot to say thank you, to the mail man. The gentleman, that he was, politely walked away, knowing I had no time for small talk. I slammed the door, raced to the table and proceeded to tear apart the cardboard box, that was keeping me from my beloved prize. Yes, I was I love with a title and a cover. I anxiously sat down ready to read this book, this almighty treasure, this holy grail of baby shower planning gone right. As the binder cracked, I got that all to familiar chill running down my spine. I was in heaven. Nothing could ruin this moment. And then I started reading... Tears forming in my eyes as each word came into focus. This was crap, this was the worst book I have ever read, I could throw up the alphabet and make a better story line then what I just witnessed. As the tears fell, emotions were quickly changed to anger... How could I have been fooled? Was I this naive? This book could have been so much more than it was, it could have had substance, character evolving moments, a plot... Alas, none of that happened. 20 pages of repetition about dragons and tacos... Parties and spicy salsa (dragons hate spicy salsa).

Please everyone take note, do not support such dribble. If you know the author, send him condolences, because he is dead to me. This book is dead to me, all because I judged it by a title and a cover.

1.0 out of 5 stars Uses the word hate several times and bad message
Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on 7 December 2016

Update: I realie my original review wasn't very helpful. So here is my explanation as to why the book is a horrible choice. Please mark my review as helpful as I hope it helped:
1. I'm not a super strict parent by any means, but there's something that turns me off about a kids book that uses the word hate. I had my school teacher friend read it and she felt uncomfortable with the excessive use of the word hate. They use it about 4 or 5 times
2. There could have been a more creative way for the dragoana to accidentally eat spicy salsa. The mild salsa had a fine print that said "with spicy peppers... ok fine that's not the worst part about the book but was still dumb
3. The dragons burn the kids house down.... um what?!?!
4. The dragons help rebuild the house but not because the seem to feel remorse. Actually they could have left it where the dragons simply helped the kid rebuild his house and not gone any further except the auhour questions the dragons' motives and says they will help but only because you are giving them tacos.....
....... after my friend read this she was like "wow.... I'm so glad I read this because I almost bought it for so many people, including for my classroom, but this is one of he worst books ever. This book makes me wonder why I haven't written something yet. How is this a new your times best seller?" That is a direct quote! From a dean... at an elementary school... so like I said... it's only popular because it's a kids taco book and tacos are "cool" right now.. I also believe I have credibility because I have taken many courses in children's book writing, worked with children for 15 years, and have written a few children's books myself... I hope people stop purchasing this book and give great credit to amazing authors. I'm sad to see books like this get published simply because the authors are very well networked. Therefore I have updated my rating to a 1 and hope to help everyone out!

Original post:
Soooooooo dumb..... I mean.... I love tacos and the authors were on to something but the story could have been way better and more creative. I think they only made it big because people love tacos, but this is a really stupid boring weird story. And I know a lot about children's books. We have many here that we love!!!!

1.0 out of 5 stars Bland Tacos! ZERO storyline...
Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on 27 December 2022

The story is so empty. Felt like I was reading a bland (dragons don't like spicy salsa) taco recipe...

Zero storytelling here... No idea how parents and children like this book. Highly DO NOT recommend.

My son did enjoy the illustrations... But this isn't a reason to buy this book.

I really was expecting this book to be awesome. I like substance to the books I read to my boys and thought this was very surface level with no substance. The book didn’t keep the attention of my boys.

1.0 out of 5 stars NY Times best seller b/c parents are desperate for variety
Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on 30 August 2021
Verified Purchase
I am 100% convinced that this book is a best seller strictly based off the fact that parents crave variety in books when it is part of your night time routine. Reading the same 10 books over and over can drive you crazy which ultimately led me to purchase this book.

I figured it had decent reviews and was a best seller, it can't be that bad. This book made me consider diving into writing a children's book myself because if this is a best seller, I could definitely do better with minimal effort.

The real shame here is the sales led the author to write another book....*sigh* How do you fail at writing a children's book not once but twice? A few pages in you are prompted to just put the book down and move on. It is that bad.

My sister has the author's other book-something about pizza. She agreed the author is not great but said this other book is better. I read that one out of curiosity. It is not much better but I will admit, slightly better than Dragons eat Tacos.

1.0 out of 5 stars How is this a best seller?
Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on 23 May 2022

I just don’t get the hype. Got this for my son to go with the dragon birthday party theme he wanted. I expected a lot more from a best seller. There is no depth or truth to this book. It’s not even cute. It’s just, “Dragons like tacos. Salsa with jalapeños makes them breathe fire. But, they’ll help you clean up if they do.” And, that’s it. No point. No lesson. Just a lot of random stuff thrown together in a weird cocktail of blah. I’m all for simple and brief, but this is just lazy writing. Is this really what people think is good childrens’ literarure? At the risk of sounding snobby, yikes.

1.0 out of 5 stars Do not purchase if your child loves salsa!!
Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on 4 February 2019

I genuinely don’t understand why this book is getting good reviews. I tacked this book on to an order last minute when it was on sale just before Christmas. I thought due to all the rave reviews it would be perfect for my silly four-year-old son who loves books and tacos. Shame on me for not opening and reading the book before giving it to him as a gift. This book is just terrible. The plot is weak, poorly written, and just outright sporadic. But the worst part for us is that my son LOVES salsa. It’s one of his favorite foods and while he’s in his current “picky food stage” it’s one of the few ways we can get him to unknowingly eat lots of veggies. While reading the book I had to keep saying things like “oh, I don’t understand why the dragons don’t like salsa so much, we love salsa, right?” in an attempt to thwart any repercussions this book may have. I certainly didn’t think the dislike of a food in this book would be so prominent given the title being Dragons LOVE Tacos. We are consciously trying to help our kids be adventurous eaters, but kids are naturally hesitant trying new foods, so why would anyone write a kids book that repeatedly states how much the characters HATE spicy foods and salsa?! I’ve never read a book I’ve disliked so much in my life, and it is no longer a book we’re keeping in this house. I’m actually sad that I supported its popularity by purchasing one.

1.0 out of 5 stars The word "hate" is present repeatedly
Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on 9 September 2015
Verified Purchase
In my opinion the book is not great, but my 3 year old seems to like it. It definitely is not my favorite because the story is fairly boring and I don't care for the writing style. I generally change some of it as I read it because I don't care for the repetitive lines ("Maybe they... Maybe they.... Maybe they..., etc). What I REALLY don't care for as a mom is the repetition of the word "hate" throughout the book. We have another book by this author and it also has the word "hate" (I bought them both at the same time, otherwise I would not have ordered the second). I'm not a super strict parent by any means, but I don't understand why a children's book needs to use, emphasize and repeat the word "hate" over and over throughout the story. They know the audience of the book, what are you thinking??? Another word or phrase, such as, "the dragons don't like" or something to that effect would get the same point across without drilling that word into children's brains over and over. Whenever I read the book to my child I rephrase the sentence to skip the word. I actually was recently buying a few children's books for birthday gifts and intentionally skipped this one for that very reason. Honestly if I had read it first before buying, I never would have bought it. I don't recommend this book at all. There are a million other, much better books out there.
