Rating: 7.2/10. You can kinda taste the nacho cheese flavor, but you still need more. The Doritos Locos Tacos at Taco Bell give you plenty of flavor but also loads your fingers up with cheese dust. The Old El Paso taco shells don’t mess up your fingers, but they just aren’t cheesy enough. When you add in that these shells taste like Bravos (AKA welfare Doritos), I had to give them a barely passing grade.
However, these shells and Old El Paso in general gets extra credit for inventing the Stand ‘n Stuff Shells a few years ago. We put a man on the moon before we had taco shells that were (relatively) easy to fill. That being said, the shells need to be wider so they don’t break. I had 4 broken shells when I opened the package. An uttah, uttah disgrace (Mike Francesa voice). Long story short, the king (Doritos Locos Tacos) stay the king.
Would I spend a couple extra pennies to get the cheese shells? Yes. They aren’t great, but they are better than plain corn shells.
