I hadn't had one until today, when I bought 3, to compare to the way they used to make tacos (I hadn't been to a Taco Bell since moving out of Burbank in 2007, although there are at least 2 here in Roseville). They came in a cardboard holder, like a "Taco Sabot", to keep them either from cracking or fracturing into pieces...or to keep the magic taste dust from being rubbed off.
I didn't notice as strong a taste as one gets with real Doritos, and I attribute that to eating the taco as I slid or pulled it from the cardboard carrier. I tried the second, and noticed that when I catually held it with my fingers, it tasted...different, even stronger, somehow. Of course much of the flavor dust stuck to my fingers, discoloring them orange; and when I tried to lick it off, it tasted even more different, and stronger than when on the taco shell. ANd I had this compulsion to have more.
The third taco - I emptied out some of the meat, and ate primarily the shell with the lettuce and cheese. Quite pleasing, but not really _satisfying_, almost like I really needed about 3 more.
Eating the meat filling - you know, the actual point of the taco? - and it didn't have the same taste, rather bland, in fact - and certainly not the same intensity.
The tacos seem to have been redesigned to be magic nacho cheese dust delivery devices. And they WANT you to get it on your fingers, so you have to suck it off. Insidious!
You know what the "pushers" say: "The FIRST one is FREE; you want Mas...It'll cost ya."
