Taco Travesty
 

It is with great sadness that I must report the best taco shells ever, are no longer available. Anyone else sad about this?

Damn, white people taco night is canceled!!!

If they're so good, why are they going out of business?

SONOFABITCH!

Why would you use a taco shell when you can use a tortilla?

We started eating them when we lived in the KC area. Surprisingly we found them here in Ky (1989)since the store here were stocked with Associated Groceries from KCK.
I have that they were getting hard to find. Going to miss that thin shell!

Oh no! Those were my go-to.

The white corn ones were thinner and better but they've been really hard to find since around COVID.

You had to be willing to tolerate a few dead soldiers but it was worth it.

No shell, no lettuce, no bueno

came here to post this

if you want it crispy just fry the tortilla

tortilla fried in chorizo fat >>>>

Soft corn tortillas the best

99.9% of the time I agree with you but I enjoy the occasional homemade double decker taco

I'm sure some enterprising scumbags will still offer them for sale on eBay at $100 a box.

They had to wait one more day to release the news

i never could get into corn tortillas, and i generally like to go traditional when i make mexican/italian food, so i’ve tried them so many times even tho I’m always like eh. I’d like to try making them from scratch and seeing if that makes a difference. Hard to justify buying the specific tools needed for that tho when im not even sure if i’m gonna like em still LMAO

Would be unwise to buy them. They get that rancid smell and go stale pretty quickly.

Which is usually a good sign. There's a reason those Taco Bell shells last forever and it ain't the quality of the ingredients.

Does that mean we have to resort to Old El Paso?

Remember the McDonald’s burger that lasted 20+ years. Yum!

I guess the owner or main person died.


Yeah, nothing else quite like them. Very light and low calories compared to others.

Dang

Dang. My favorites.I should have stocked up more. I have 24 left tho.

So far it looks like that or Taco Bell shells are on the shelves. Heavy and loaded with preservatives to deal with Walmart logistics. :(

Just checked and it is 36 left. The air fryers works wonders on shells and chips..

Between this and Spanish Gardens there goes my Thursday night in the 90s.

You've given me something to aspire to...a little bit of added meaning to life

It blows. My wife is pissed.

My 30 pack has about 25 left. I'll sell it to you for $75

I'm pissed!

I have really enjoyed them for the last few years and it sucks. Been keeping two 36 packs in stock. Used the last of them last night when my daughter and her family was here for Taco Tuesday.

Once I heard this news I made a quick run to town to buy up what was left but was too late, all gone.

Next thing you know the stores will sell out of Pace Picante sauce!!!!

Only in new york city!

Only if you throw in a Chiefs Vegas tarmac hat for an extra $300!

The ones in the pink box were the best thin shells ever. If you could find them...

I thought this was thread about Chris Jones new girlfriend

My son was disappointed by the news that they closed permanently. I wasn't as big a fan but when Perez shut it down they left me no choice. All the other hard shells on the grocery shelves suck. Arts is as far as I know still going strong just hard to find. I tried the Aldi brand last week and Son was fine with those so it's our go to.

Spanish Gardens had a fire at the taco house in the Argentine District. The owner is committed to rebuilding. The distribution center is in another location and the sauce and seasoning is still on the shelves.

We like the white shells the best. Luckily we could easily find them here. Tacos not gonna be the same soon! 🙁

This sucks. I had to get another brand last week and they were awful, no more homemade Tacos for me. Perez Corn Tortillas are gone as well. :mad:

Taco Travesty would be a good band name.

My wife doesn't recognize the gravity of the situation.

You clearly married better than I did.

Yes! Those are the white corn ones I was talking about. They were spectacular.

They can throw cheese and lettuce at the crowd.

Sounds about right.

Fully details your kitchen floor after a drive thru taco run after closing down a bar.

Pretty soon we won't have anything to eat but the bugs.

Hopefully someone or some company will buy the recipe/name and continue making them available. :grovel:

Big Nasty Nut Taco Shells has a fighting chance

I like tacos

Great ****ing idea!


heads to ebay.com

Taco Travesty - It Blows, My Wife Is Pissed is 100% an album I'd purchase

That sucks. Always the one I got as well. I have some in the pantry now. They are probably a year old at this point but I’m sure they are still good.

NEW YORK CITY!?

Never seen that brand around here, sounds like they're quite popular

When I'm doing American style tacos, I prefer the stand and stuff style from Old El Paso... you can really load' em up and they're so much easier to plate without half your toppings falling out

Oh my, so sorry you missed them. If you like Old El Paso, you would have loved these most likely. Night and day difference. Melt in your mouth.

Seems they really had a following, too bad for me

But with American style tacos I'm pretty easy to please

This post is severely underrated. :LOL:

$100 for 36 here......LMAO

I had to have my bother deliver them yearly. Dang.I hope someone buys them out.

Hopefully someone with Bitcoin success that loves them will step up and make it happen! :D

As far as I know they only made corn tortilla shells and taco seasoning. They were on 69th street east of N Oak in Gladstone Mo. It was in the old Guys Foods bldg before they went to larger digs in Liberty Mo.

Anyone who I knew who worked there didn't stay long and said the owner treated everyone like trash. After Covid, he really struggled to keep employees.

Growing up we just bought the corn tortillas made by Spanish Gardens. We fried then up in a pan of oil with taco shell tongs.

I've never looked into it, but it can't be that hard to make tortillas. And ones you make yourself would probably taste much better than the crap available in grocery stores.

Speaking of guy's, whatever happened to them?

Remember guy's being big in the 80's down there, consistent advertiser with the royals and royals on radio with Denny Matthew's.

That is interesting, hadn't heard that. The owner being an ass kind of softens the blow.

It's kind of funny, I stumbled upon a FB group dedicated to bringing them back. :D

Lots of conversation about them on there and on Reddit, but I don't want to bring that over here.

Lots of great tortillas available but they have a shit ton of calories.

Well **** no wonder I haven't seen them in my Walmart recently. That sucks

That lady wasn't joking, they had 10 or 12 boxes of those shells.

If it's popular enough maybe somebody will buy it and start making them again. 3000 more posts and..

Kind of off subject, but remember when the company that made twinkies went out of business? They came back, eventually. I have a feeling that someone with some coin will probably make a play for these little bastards!!!

My go to

Will probably go primarily with tortillas now.

I remember him doing a read about grabbing some Guy's nuts during a game. Being a young teen (maybe pre-teen), I laughed uncontrollably

In 61 years of life, I have never purchased a single taco shell. Tortillas once, taco shells never.

Never made a Mexican dish except a cold 5 bean salad that has Mexican flavors.

Never my thing. I know people go crazy for Mexican food.

Hostess? They're still in business, I'm sure.

Someone will buy them and continue the best taco shells available.

You ever bought a Mexican hooker?

That's a dirty taco

Damn.

Second biggest tragedy of the year so far.

I don't think I had by 61 either, there is hope for you! :D

Do it. Use something like this:

Their website says 25 bucks for two of them. Fry them in lard.

We have an Hispanic grocery. I buy my tortillas there.

We are a ruined society

I expected this to be a thread about food poisoning on an airplane with 1 restroom.

Who else had the fish?

ROFL

Really? Because of La Tiera taco shells not being available?

I know it is bad, but I think it will be ok eventually. :D
