Review: Doritos - Taco Flavor

Doritos original Taco Flavor has had its own following since it went away long, long ago but now it's back permanently and features the taste of tacos on a typical Doritos corn tortilla chip.

You can pick up an 11.5-ounce bag for a retail of about $3.99 or around $2.50 on sale.

These actually remind me a little of Doritos Nacho Cheese flavor a bit but not nearly as cheesy. Actually, the seasoning in general is a fair bit more understated than Doritos' more modern flavors; I like it. I find some of the currently flavors a little bit too strong.
The flavor comes from taco seasoning which includes "spices," Cheddar cheese, sour cream, garlic and onion powder, buttermilk, and butter. It tastes like what I generally imagine a chip flavored with taco seasoning to taste like. Which is to say it tastes pretty good!
I also like the retro styling of the bag. It reminds me of the '80s.
