I bought one of each flavor for $2.49 each.
The chicken offered a light crunch throughout. The strips were decently meaty and moist. They were just long enough to cover much of the diameter of the tortilla (although, from experience, this could vary quite a bit), which meant I got some chicken in every bite. Flavor-wise, the chicken was aggressively salty with a fair amount of seasoned flavor although the tortilla, lettuce, and tomatoes provided a nice buffer. I'm not sure I'd want to eat these particular chicken strips by themselves.
The lettuce and tomatoes were decently fresh and the tomatoes actually added a mild flavor. The cheese was pretty plentiful and added a nice accent. In combination with the fried chicken strips, the Cantina Crispy Chicken Tacos felt a lot like a wrap.
Between the two sauces, the Creamy Chipotle was the bolder of the two with a creamy tang and a fair amount of smoky heat. The Avocado Ranch was mild as far as ranch goes and didn't have much of an avocado flavor.
Overall, Taco Bell's Cantina Crispy Chicken Tacos turned out pretty nicely but re-treads a lot of familiar ground as they are basically Soft Tacos Supreme with different sauces and crispy-fried chicken instead of seasoned beef. It might be time for a new sauce or something--you can sub in Spicy Ranch or Nacho Cheese but it'll cost you extra depending on the location.
