They are horrible! All of the taco shells are stale and some of them are already broken when opening.

they shrank? - 27 days 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

I used to love the shells. Unfortunately, the company has made them thinner and they are too fragile to use for a taco. I will not be purchasing them agin.

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.

Horrible - almost every shell broke as we tried to add ingredients. The company has to know how bad this product has become. I’m finding every retail site to give a scathing reviews so others don’t waste their money.

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.

Total waste. Stiff, with less than a half inch opening. Shatter if you try to use as intended. Can’t imagine how these could ever work.

Still love the taste and the crunchiness but my 18 packs now only have 17 shells....and very tiny at that. How can you get away with advertising 18 when there were only 17 in the box?

12 Taco shells CRUNCHY - 6 months ago
originally posted on OldElPaso.com
These flavor and texture of the shells were not what I expected, they were crunchy but had a stale taste to them like they had been sitting on the shelf for a long time. The box had a best if used by date of 09Mar2025 A 13:05. Did not enjoy my TACO meal. To avoid a total waste of Taco preparations I Ate my TACO fixings on crackers. Very disappointed in product quality.

Drive up experience always hit or miss

Mommyof1 - 6 months ago, Verified purchaser
Awesome product. Not good drive up service at West Sacramento Target. I’ve never had this issue when I go into the store so I am making the bold assumption that the employees did this. Most of them appear to hate the position of taking items to drive up cars. Get a different job if customer service isn’t for you.

Do not buy these. They are tiny and are impossible to stuff without breaking the shell. I thought I accidentally purchased mini taco shells. These companies are getting ridiculous.

These shells are ridiculously small now. I might as well try to load fillings on a taco chip. I will never buy these again. They are hidden in a package and you have no idea what you are buying. I would rather pay more and get a regular size shell than this. I hope they enjoy their profits now cause they are never getting more of my money.

Exactly what I expected. A few were broken but I took it upon myself to eat the broken ones so that my family could eat them normally.

Who are you trying to kid with your packaging that shows taco stuffings inside the shell? These new (last year or more) TEENY TINY hard shells are impossible to stuff. The opening is less than a half inch!!! I will be looking for a replacement brand. I know costs are up but to make these shells so tiny you can't even get the taco ingredients in between the shell doesn't make any sense! I could accept how small they are now if only they were open wider so I could get the fillings inside!!
