> Taco Bell made a hard shell taco with a soft shell wrapped around it - that worked fine.

The double decker taco supreme did not “work fine”. It was the undisputed apex of humanity’s culinary development.

The perfect vessel to combine the crunchy mouth feel of a hard shell taco, with the practical consistency and resilience of a soft shell wrapper. Bound together by a mix of refried beans.

I still can’t believe they removed it from the menu.

Taco Bell is constantly adjusting their menu. It seems like they do it more than other fast food places (not that I eat if that often). Mexican pizza is there one day, gone the next. At least they recently re added the nacho fries.

I saw a “Taco Bell Cantina” the first time the other day. Their “urban, open kitchen” experiment with alcohol, but with the regular Taco Bell stuff. Kind of fun.

Nacho fries feel like a seasonal thing. Which is a shame because they are the main thing that drives me to go to taco bell

I get one every now and then. I just ask if they still have those Double Decker tacos. Every time, without fail, they've said, "No, but we can make you some." Maybe it's just a Southern California thing, I really don't know. And yeah, I share your sentiments about its excellence and its "mouth feel". Yum.

They probably didn't want people getting taco shrapnel in their diarrhea.

the cgc is still fire, not quite the same, but the dd will be back
