Old El Paso 12 Crunchy Taco Shells, 156 G

I have purchased this product 3 times now with the same disappointing results. Each and every shell is broken in half at the fold. Although the packaging seems undamaged, it's always the same result. I spoke with the merchant manager and was informed that this is always the case. The manager recommended a store brand product that was 35% less cost.Each shell was intact and fresh. Consumers beware, this product is a waste of money, You won't be able to use these shells for tacos.

What did you do to these shells. Was your profit margin on these so bad you had to reduce their size to that of a 7/11 Mini Taco shell. Normally I always have soft shell tacos but had a craving for hard shell tonight. Went with the old standbys my mother always used but regretting that now. I was lucky to even get half the fixins in I normally would get. Seriously if the margins were that bad why didn’t you just knock the package count down to 10 and leave them the same size. On top of that who was the genius in the packaging department that wrote “Enlarged to show detail” on the front of the box. You should have just put “Actual Size”I am going to assume that the people in your marketing and product development departments don’t actually eat tacos because if they ... MoreWhat did you do to these shells.

Not the best brand for Tex-Mex anything but widely available in the UK. Still, these are decent hard corn tacos. Reviewers confused about why they break apart: they are supposed to. Reviewers struggling with filling them: remember to put them in the oven for a few minutes, as per the instructions, and my personal tip is to put them upside down with the opening facing downwards; that way they don't cave in on themselves as easily. If they seem stale, it's because you haven't put them in the oven.
