What Mexican products can you order to Canada?

You can order the packaged Mexican favorites to Canada: snacks like Takis, chile-lime seasoning like Tajín, chamoy, spicy Mexican candy, bottled hot sauce, table chocolate and pantry staples. They come factory-sealed and keep in the pantry, which is why they can travel in a shipping box.

Fresh food, like fruit, vegetables or bakery bread, you'll find at your local grocery store in Canada. What comes from Mexico is everything that brings the flavor. Here's what's worth ordering, aisle by aisle:

Snacks: Takis, Sabritas potato chips and wheel-shaped chicharrones de harina, with lime and hot sauce.
Chile powder and chamoy: Tajín plus liquid and powdered chamoy, for fruit and rimmed glasses.
Mexican candy: Pulparindo, Lucas candy and Vero lollipops, with chile, tamarind and chamoy.
Classic candy: De la Rosa mazapán, the peanut candy that melts in your mouth.
Hot sauce: Valentina and other bottled Mexican hot sauces for snacks, fruit and corn.
For cold days: Abuelita chocolate for Mexican hot chocolate, plus atole and coffee.

What are Takis, Tajín and chamoy?

Takis are rolled, fried, chile-coated corn tortilla chips from Barcel, the Mexican snack brand that's part of Grupo Bimbo; Tajín is a chile powder with salt and dehydrated lime; and chamoy is a sweet, sour, salty and mildly spicy sauce made from fruit, chile, lime and salt. The three go together: some people drizzle their Takis with chamoy, and some won't eat fruit without Tajín.

If you're trying them for the first time, or you know them from Mexico and aren't sure what to order, this table sums up what each item in this guide is and how to eat it:

Product	What it is	How to eat it
Takis	Rolled, fried, chile-coated corn tortilla chips from Barcel; Fuego is the intense chile and lime one	Straight from the bag, with lime and hot sauce, or drizzled with chamoy
Tajín	Chile powder with salt and dehydrated lime; the Clásico is mild	On fruit, corn, snacks and drink rims
Chamoy	A sauce made from fruit, chile, lime and salt: sweet, sour, salty and a little spicy	On fruit, gummies and snacks, or to rim glasses
Pulparindo	Tamarind pulp candy with sugar, salt and chile, from De la Rosa	Straight from the wrapper, a little at a time
Lucas candy	Spicy Mexican candy: powders, lollipops and liquid chamoy; the brand is now part of Mars	On their own, or the liquid chamoy over fruit and snacks
De la Rosa mazapán	Ground peanut and sugar candy that melts in your mouth	On its own, as dessert or in a piñata
Valentina hot sauce	Bottled Mexican hot sauce, thick and full of chile flavor	On chips, Takis, corn and fruit
Abuelita chocolate	Mexican table chocolate in tablets, sweet and cinnamon-scented	Melted into hot milk or water and whisked until foamy

Where can you buy Takis, Tajín and chamoy in Canada?

You can buy Takis, Tajín and chamoy online at MexGoodies, an online Mexican grocery store that sells original Mexican products and ships to addresses in the United States and Canada. Some of these products are also sold at supermarkets and Latin grocery stores in Canada, but which brands, flavors and sizes you'll find there depends on the store.

The upside of ordering from a Mexican store is having the whole aisle in one order: several Takis flavors, from Ranch to Fuego, different kinds of Tajín, chamoy from several brands, spicy candy, hot sauce and table chocolate. That way, everything you're craving from Mexico arrives in one box.

How do you order Mexican groceries to Canada?

Ordering to Canada works like any online purchase: you fill your cart, enter your Canadian address, check the shipping cost at checkout and pay in U.S. dollars (USD). Shipping is calculated with real USPS rates based on your order's weight and your address, and you see the exact cost before you pay.

Keep weight in mind: bottled hot sauce, chocolate tablets and liter-size chamoy weigh more than a bag of chips, and that shows up in the shipping cost. If you pay with a card in Canadian dollars, your bank handles the conversion and may charge a foreign transaction fee, so check with your bank. Here's the order, from your cart to your door:

Step 1: Fill your cart
Pick your products by aisle or by brand. Prices are in U.S. dollars (USD).
Step 2: Enter your Canadian address
At checkout, shipping is calculated with USPS rates based on your order's weight and your address.
Step 3: Check the total and pay
You see the exact shipping cost before you pay. The charge is in USD.
Step 4: Order preparation
Your order is prepared in 1 to 3 business days.
Step 5: Transit and customs

How long does shipping to Canada take, and will you pay customs?

An order to Canada is prepared in 1 to 3 business days and has an estimated transit time of 6 to 12 business days, plus any customs hold time. Times are estimates, not guarantees: they can vary with peak season, weather or the carrier, so if it's for a special date, order early.

As for customs: orders to Canada may be subject to duties, taxes or customs fees under local rules, and when they apply, these charges are the recipient's responsibility. If you want to know how they're calculated, the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) publishes its rules for packages arriving from abroad.

What should you get in your first box of Mexican snacks?

For a first box, the easiest approach is to mix one snack, one chile powder, one chamoy, a couple of candies and a hot sauce, so you get a taste of everything in a single order. A combination that works:

For snacking: Takis Fuego, with intense chile and lime, or whichever flavor you like best.
For fruit: Tajín Clásico and Tajín chamoy sauce, over mango, cucumber or watermelon from your grocery store.
For a sweet craving: Pulparindo, Lucas Muecas mango and De la Rosa mazapán.
For the table: Valentina hot sauce, which goes on chips, corn and fruit.
For cold days: Abuelita chocolate, the classic Mexican hot chocolate.
For chamoy pickles: grab a big dill pickle at your grocery store, and get the chamoy, Tajín, Pulparindo and Takis for crushing from Mexico. That's your own chamoy pickle kit.
