I know this is old, but you do know the company started a direct to consumer site (snacks.com), and the taco flavor doritos are in there. Will have to pay for shipping, but maybe it's worth it to you, in case you were interested..
I haven’t had them since I was a kid and actually forgot about them. A few years ago I tried the Loaded Taco low-carb chips from Quest and it immediately brought me back to childhood. The texture is different for sure because they’re low-carb, but the seasoning is spot-on, to my brain anyway.
It's nice when they bring these out from time to time.
They should also bring back the original non-flavored Doritos too.
PS: Nacho Cheese were much better until they started going overboard with so much flavoring on them.
I thought I was the only one to remember original Doritos. Theirs were the best! With the tortilla chip explosion that followed in the 80's and 90's, I never understood why they didn't stay in the game. OR offer small size bags, for that matter. My mom used to send me to school with a little baggie of the plain ones in my lunch. My friends were always jealous. (In early 1970's New England, a tortilla chip was a rare sight) Then the 80's happened, and I would gag at everyone's breath who was eating Nacho cheese doritos in the cafeteria. I actually never cared for the flavored varieties of any chip and always stuck with plain fritos. And now, 50 years later, nothing has changed.
> They should also bring back the original non-flavored Doritos too.
I remember a decade or so ago when they had roasted-corn Doritos. Those things were the best chips I'd had, especially corn chips. But, they had Doritos dust on them, just not cheesy Doritos dust.

HERESY!!! lol, j/k. Seriously though, I like the extra orange nacho powder. Nom 😋
Different areas of the country have differing flavors. Taco Doritos are available across the entire upper mid-west. They are probably available in other parts as well. If you can't find them ask your stores for them.
(I've worked for the company for over 30 years.)
Funny you mentioned that. I had a friend who visited Canada once a year and she was always excited about their ketchup flavored potato chips. She brought me a bag once and I didn’t care for them, which is odd bc I love ketchup.
I know they have them in Pringles like tube packaging, which really is convenient if you think about it. I’ve loved cool ranch Doritos ever since Jay Leno started the introductory commercials for them back in the 80s!
The window went away because the bags used became metalized and to keep light from hitting the product. These measures keep the product fresher, longer.
They’ve been back on and off for several years now. My usual supermarket had them the last time I went a couple weeks ago, and I demolished the bag I bought in two sittings. I gotta get back there and pick up a couple more while they’re still in stock.
This was the only flavor I remember my family buyingbwhen I was small and it always seemed like a rare treat as there was never enough of them. Now I buy and eat them whenever I can find them. Comfort flavor.
I was surprised to find that they tasted exactly as I remembered, unlike some beloved snacks from my childhood. Lookin’ at you, Planters Cheez Balls.
When Taco Doritos and Pepsi Throwback were both available at the same time… bliss.
I LOVE/LOVED taco flavor. We buy them when we see them. I remember my dad would bring home a bag and I’d lay on the floor watching TV till it was finished. To be a kid again.
Anyone remember sour cream and onion Doritos? Not my favorite.
In one of my yearbooks, I remember there was a picture of a few my classmates in the parking lot in their car holding up a bag of taco Doritos.
I don’t even know why I remember that! Stay awesome Gen X!
Weird, I always thought cooler ranch came out first, because I was in my 20s when I first saw taco Doritos. They're my favorite too.
Taco and toasted corn Doritos are the go to for me. I use them both in taco salad.
I've always liked these better than the nacho cheese flavor that became the default. Hadn't seen them in over 20 years except for finding a bag in the limited release in 2021. Should have bought more than one bag!
