Funny picture book! submitted by manz on March 26, 2013, 5:04pm This is such a funny picture book! Both kids and grown-ups will enjoy reading it together. You'll discover what happens when you give spicy salsa to dragons who hate anything spicy. Beware of jalapenos!!

hilarious!! submitted by fairytale on July 23, 2013, 8:52pm This is one of the funniest picture books I've ever read. So creative and so hilarious! You HAVE to check it out!!

Fun book submitted by jennifer-ricks on June 13, 2014, 11:52am this was a very fun book about how much dragons love tacos and if you are to meet a dragon and feed them tacos what you should put on the tacos.

Dragons Love Tacos submitted by SBNB on August 8, 2015, 2:44pm Cute book about dragons’ love for tacos and parties.

Really Fun submitted by downing on June 18, 2016, 12:40pm Now every time we eat tacos, my son talks about how much dragons love them! It's super cute.

We all love tacos submitted by strawderc on June 19, 2017, 1:54pm A very cute book with a yummy story for kids and adults!

Dragons Love Tacos submitted by avrogers1 on July 9, 2017, 10:54pm This is such a cute childrens book. Who doesn't love tacos? You should read it to find out how this dragon manages to share with us its love for tacos. It may be a short journey but it has some really great illustrations along the way.

Demented Genius submitted by atpierce on July 23, 2018, 8:32pm I love this book.

dragons love tacos submitted by libbyk on July 25, 2018, 4:04pm Everyone loves this book

Great book submitted by 23lisq on August 3, 2018, 4:05am I would recommend this book to all kids.

Disappointed submitted by elepling on August 3, 2018, 7:41pm The illustrations were cute but the storyline wasn’t that great

Love it! submitted by halliejewell on August 26, 2018, 4:54pm One of my daughters favorite cause she LOVES tacos too!!!

Such a cute book! submitted by jessNU on June 16, 2019, 12:05pm This one is an instant classic - glad they came out with a second book

Kids love dragons who love tacos submitted by corywill86 on June 18, 2019, 4:18pm This is silly and weird and my 3yo loved it.

Cute silly picture book- nothing innovative but still fun. submitted by Kitty4777 on June 24, 2019, 2:24pm The author knows the target market for parents to instantly buy a book. It’s a fun, silly book. It doesn’t do anything to further any elements of learning more than any other kids book. I picked it up for a baby shower because the parents are nerdy and like Mexican food.

It’s potentially a bad message if you want your kids to try spicy foods, as the dragons can’t eat spicy things!

Fun! submitted by crp on August 3, 2019, 9:48pm Fun!

Kids Love Dragons Who Love Tacos submitted by fgulley on June 29, 2020, 4:09pm My kids love this book and the sequel too!

Weak submitted by camelsamba on August 29, 2020, 7:46pm I liked the premise, and the illustrations are cute, but the story was weak.

I love it submitted by roldans on June 14, 2021, 9:13pm This is the best book i have read :D

The Best submitted by alynnayotte on July 20, 2021, 9:41pm This book is so fun for kiddos and grown ups alike.

A Taste of the Absurd (But Not as Good as the Hype) submitted by Meginator on August 11, 2021, 4:19pm I expected a bit more from this picture book given its popularity, but I still enjoyed the absurd premise, which Rubin and Salmieri take to its limits. The illustrations especially are a joy, initially for the character design (so many types of dragons!) and later for the jumbled chaos that (naturally) ensues when the dragons get their tacos. I wanted more of a story, or at least more of a natural progression, but the central joke plays out nicely, even if the conclusion doesn’t really make sense. Readers with an absurdist sense of humor will especially enjoy this book.

Dragons Love Tacos submitted by dree411 on August 21, 2021, 9:20pm Such a fun book that we love reading and acting out over and over again! Who doesn't love tacos?

Kindergartener loved it submitted by jibkidder on July 3, 2022, 8:15am This is one of the books that my kindergartener loved but that I like the least.

Kids love it too much submitted by rea2mill on August 5, 2022, 7:05pm I’m with Jibkidder on this one, I didn’t love this book much to begin with, but since my kids loved it so much they both asked for it over and over (3&5 years old) I really didn’t like it by the time I returned it. That said, I did check it out again because it’s fun to see your kids with that kind of enthusiasm for reading.

AMAZING and Hilarious submitted by czadams on August 28, 2022, 1:12pm The kids I babysit for absolutely love this book. They laugh and laugh! They get to practice predicting what will happen next. They love saying the different lines in different voices. It is a great theatrical endeavor!

Family Favorite submitted by rhuman on July 7, 2023, 8:01am Two of our favorite things. Great Humor in this book.

Very fun submitted by alharman1022 on August 5, 2023, 10:52pm We all really enjoy reading this book over and over

Family favorite submitted by khrobinson on August 22, 2023, 8:25am We love dinosaurs! We love tacos! A fun story that we’ve read again and again.
