I tried the Nacho Taco today. Had that orange powder all over my fingers afterward. Now I’ve tried both flavors. I prefer the Ranch style Taco. Not enough to go more than once a month. But they are good. I only went by Taco Bell today because they are directly across the street from Kroger. I left Kroger at 5:03 and wasn’t willing to fight heavy traffic to get something at another place. I did the _Make a Run for the Border_ thing on the way home. Where is that dog anyhow? Haven’t seen him in years. ---

I came in here to vote “never tried them”, thinking I’d be the only one. I am amazed at how many people have never tried them. I am amazed that I have never tried them! Oh well. I guess I’m not the oddball I thought I would be for skipping the most popular food combination since chocolate and peanut butter. ---

[Snopes has a informative writeup](http://www.snopes.com/radiotv/tv/tacobell.asp) on it. Bottom line: Everybody loved the little doggie, but it sucked at selling tacos, and was fired. In fact, that little bitch was an unmitigated disaster for Taco Bell, since [they lost a $42 million dollar lawsuit](http://seattletimes.com/html/nationworld/2008665346_tacobell24.html) by two guys who originally pitched them the idea for a Taco Bell chihuahua mascot. ---

They’re good (Haven’t tried cool ranch yet), but I still like the regular shells too. I’d get them once in a while but not all the time. I think it’s all just marketing hype. My favorite TB are the chalupas with the puffy shells. If those were dipped in Dorito Dust I don’t think I’d like them. It would make them taste cheap and fast foody. ---

Tried once, never again. stale, thin, easily soggy, and salty as balls. ---

I go to Taco Bell once every week or two. I’ve never tried the Doritos tacos. I prefer the regular tacos with just the meat, lettuce, and cheese. I don’t want any extra shit in there because it’s primarily just a medium for hot sauce. Sometimes I’ll get a Mexican pizza or a double-decker taco, but only because they can hold a lot more hot sauce. ---

I liked both and they’re the perfect size for lunch if I get a supreme. I PAY every single time, but it’s just one of those things I crave every month or so. ---

I was really, really ready to be cynical about the Doritos Locos Doritos, but then I saw that it’s not a new flavor, they’re just mixing taco Doritos with nacho cheese or cool ranch. I’m kinda want that. ---

DH and I did try the Cool Ranch. They’re OK, but we both prefer the Nacho Cheese. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/have-you-tried-taco-bell-doritos-locos-tacos-what-did-you-think/653836.md?page=2)
