    How do you eat them? You take one bite out of them and the entire taco shell cracks, you are lucky if none of your fillings spill out. You spend all this time filling it up with meat, cheese, lettuce, and whatnot, making it look nice and tasty, then it all gets ruined with one bite. Biggest waste of time ever. What the hell?

    Never liked them.

    Better to smash them and turn them into nachos.

    I just picked up the 3 taco dinner at El Tiempo yesterday evening. Long shells, all the toppings. Didn't break, must be magic.

    That's why they made taco salads...for people who can't eat regular tacos without them falling apart.

    "What's the deal with hard tacos? If they're so hard, then why do they fall apart?"

    - something Jerry Seinfeld would say

    There is a world of difference between an old el paso taco shell and a fried tortilla.

    apparently OP is not alone. There are online study aids to assist with learning to eat hard tacos.

    I've been eating hard and soft tacos for well over two decades. After reading this thread, I feel like a rocket scientist.

    OK, here's the thing. To prevent your taco from blowing out, all you gotta do is let it rest for a minute before eating.
