Are hard tacos actually nice to eat? Whenever I see them in movies and such, it seems like the tortilla would just shatter the moment you bite into it.

It's like a tortilla made of a giant cornchip. Breakage can be an issue but they don't explode like glass or anything.

I like hard shell tacos, though I will say it's often an exercise in creatively holding broken pieces of taco as I eat it. The secret is to spread a tortilla with refried beans (or any other food that can serve as glue; guac, sour cream, melted cheese, etc) then wrap that around the hardshell taco for a best of both worlds experience. It's also very much a white people taco night thing; I'd never want a hard shell for a good Mexican or texmex style taco, but if you're talking about ground beef in a Mccormick spice blend with peripherals from the "mexican" aisle of an American supermarket, hard shells are dope.

No, they’re not. Unless you like making messes. Then they’re right up your alley.
