Favor – an on-demand delivery app based in Austin, Texas – has released its 2025 “How Texas Orders In” report, offering a look at delivery preferences, trends and moments that defined how residents used its services throughout the year.
The annual report analyzes delivery data across more than 400 Texas cities and reveals statewide preferences and regional differences in food and beverage orders.
Tacos and queso remained at the top of delivery lists for 2025, while coffee emerged as the most-ordered drink of the year, surpassing Texas-based soft drinks such as Dr Pepper.
Other findings included preferences showing distinct regional flavors, including the strong draw for corn tortilla tacos over flour, sweet tea over unsweet tea and bone-in wings over boneless wings.
The report also highlighted Texans’ produce and ingredient interests, noting that tomatoes, avocados, limes and jalapeños were among the most-ordered items on the H-E-B Now-powered section of the platform.
In addition to culinary trends, the report captured the human element of delivery with a look at Delivery Notes – personalized messages customers leave for Favor Runners (delivery drivers).
Favorites included playful reminders like “Don’t knock,” along with more candid messages such as “Don’t judge the dead plants on my porch.”
