On partnering with Tajín, "I love how Tajín adds a special kick of flavor to a wide variety of dishes. As a mom and as a professional chef, I like to include Tajín as part of my seasoning mix in marinades or spice rubs, I use on chicken, fish and meat" said Claudia Sandoval, MasterChef Latino judge and Tajín's spokesperson. "It really creates a unique flavor the entire family loves."
Tajín Clásico Seasoning is the #1 chili lime seasoning in Mexico and the United States. In the past four years, the flavor has grown 65% on U.S. menus.

Joining forces with protein brands is a natural fit for Tajín. Its chili lime flavor is very versatile across food groups and the flavor is widely accepted on fish, poultry, pork and beef.

And it doesn't end there. In 2019, Tajín also collaborated with food service and lifestyle brands across different categories including spirits and even fashion. The products are distributed in more than 24,000 stores across all major retailers in the U.S. including Target and Walmart
