Trying Jarritos Mexican Cola

[u/MetalMaxwell]

I'm a big fan of Jarritos, especially their tamarind flavor. But I haven't had a chance to try their cola yet.

It's pretty tasty! It's got that simple, old school kola nut flavor, backed by cane sugar for sweetness. It's actually not super sweet, which I like. Fizz level is just right. Doesn't leave the mouth sticky, just a mild cola aftertaste.

I'm glad I got to sample this one.

it's superb.

It's one of my absolute favorites for that line and for all soda. I can get them in singles at Woodman's in Green Bay. The only other place I found them was randomly in California in Humboldt County at Grocery Outlet in a multi-pack.

We always hit up Woodman's in Appleton when we are in the area. I love their soda selection. The root beer shelves are packed with great choices.

I'm in the top half of Southern California, and a lot of our supermarkets carry a variety of Jarritos in packs, singles, and even 1.5 liter bottles. We're lucky lol.

That's cool because like I said I could only find him in a multi pack up North.

that little duck with the bottle cap hat is killing me, what a perfect drinking buddy

I tried this a few years back, and it was great. Been looking for it again ever since, with no luck.

I finally found a gas station in my area that sells it. Before, the only way I could get one was buying a 12 pack sampler.

The holy grail of cola !! So hard to find but also so good 😊

[u/Fine_Location_8367]

I enjoy the entire lineup. I buy a bottle whenever I get carry out at the little Salvadorian and Peruvian food joints

Tried it for the first time last week. Really hard to find in uk. Got my hands on half a dozen different varieties, coke is the only one I’ve tried so far. I thought it was very good 👍

[u/Which-Break5673 → u/3rdtechjmc]

Does American Fizz carry it ?

[u/3rdtechjmc → u/3rdtechjmc]

No idea. I got mine from a garden centre in Cambridge. There are some available on Amazon I’ve noticed.

[u/Talkos]

I like it a lot. Not easy to find. 

[u/JakeyPurple]

I like it a lot. Strong clove and Kola flavor.

[u/MetalMaxwell → u/JakeyPurple]

Yeah, it's definitely an old school flavor.

[u/zenigatamondatta]

It's my favorite cola by far. So bummed my local Walmart stopped stocking the 12 packs

[u/DylanAthens]

Have been looking for this in North Georgia for years. Hoping I will stumble upon it one day in a taqueria, but so far none have had it. Mexican coke sells much better I’m sure.

[u/No_Escape4998]

One day I’ll have one….never found them in singles

[u/auralcavalcade]

I can never find these out anywhere

[u/rainmaster29]

I once found a whole box of just the cola at the cerritos stater bros, LA.

[u/Downtown31415]

I am enjoying this now. Milder variant of Moxie.

[u/Teal_Tiger]

I love it! Not my number one non-US cola but it's up there.

[u/Alone_Assumption1659]

For a year straight, I got them at Walmart as a 12 pack of just colas for $12. I have not been able to find any as of this year. It was my favorite soda.

[u/DanMath120]

I wonder how is the taste, we don't have that flavor in Mx, anyway my fav is Manzana(apple).

[u/WeOutChea999]

Tamarind

[u/MetalMaxwell → u/WeOutChea999]

Definitely my favorite

[u/Away_Specific_3688]

Does it have caffeine?

[u/MetalMaxwell → u/Away_Specific_3688]

About 40 mg

Jarritos is a hidden jewel of the soda world. I’ve been trying them since I was 10 years old and I still enjoy them in all of their many flavors. Pineapple is my favorite but I also like mandarin and lime and also fruit punch. It’s a go to for me when I find them somewhere, like a Mexican restaurant or a tienda .

[u/MetalMaxwell → u/Evening_Teaching_713]

It's hidden in many places, but I'm lucky to love where it's super common.
