The ElPaso taco sauce packet that comes in the kit contains maltodextrin which is harmful for your digestive system which I will not eat and boycott until the manufacturers take it out of all products

First time I had bought hard shells in a few years. Was shocked that they are now so small that you can’t actually fill them with anything. Old El Paso, if you are going to shrinkflate the product please keep in mind that there is a baseline size beyond which the product becomes useless and no longer meets its basic goal of being a delivery system for toppings. Your hard taco shells have crossed this line. I was basically unable to fit most of my fillings in them and had to eat the toppings separately with a fork or spoon. Honestly, it’s stupid and I can’t see myself ever buying your product again unless you adjust the sizes. If I have to break it up to top it and then eat it like a toastada or nachos then I may as well just buy those corn products or use soft taco shells. You could have shrinkflated the number of shells instead of their size, or just raised prices, but instead you have made your own product irrelevant. Please reconsider the product size so they can fulfill their purpose.

I used to really like these shells but the last 2 boxes I bought a couple of weeks ago were beyond stale. No crunch at all. They were far from their expiration date too and they were well sealed and box was undamaged. So I’m confused as to why both boxes were so stale.

Your “New Improved Taste” crunchy taco shells (18 count) are terrible. What little flavor they have is NOT good… and they are hard and thick. I’ve been buying these for years, but the past few years they have gotten worse (and smaller). I won’t be buying these any more.

It was either this or the $6 Taco Bell kit. I don’t like this brand but I figured, can’t be too bad. No, just no. The flavor is not good. The taco shells were also stale.

they shrank? - 4 months ago

The shells taste fine but I did not discover until getting ready to serve dinner that the size has apparently shrunk though the box looks normal sized. Should be labeled "miniature taco shells". Hoping there is enough food to feed my company

When did OEP shrink the size of their taco shells? I will be be buying my normal size store brand from now on. These shells were almost impossible to fill, hold a tiny amount and most broke during the filling process.

Haven't bought these for a couple of years until recently. What a joke. They've shrunk to the point that they cannot fit basic taco ingredients inside. So narrowing at the top that the meat would not fit with ease.

Ridiculously THIN. I've purchased these for years and can't believe how much thinner they are now. I feel bad for the younger generation who don't know they are getting ripped off by of "shrinkage." I will not purchase this brand any longer. Shameful example of corporate greed.
