La Tiara Taco Shells on the Block Today

[IndyRob]

These were a great find at Walmart. It's not often that the cheapest option on the shelf is the best by far.

 

But these 'Authentic Mexican Style' taco shells were thin and light and crispy.  And a revelation.

 

But apparently, also too good to be true.  They soon went out of stock.  Their place on the shelf stayed empty for a time, and the walmart.com entry remained accessible.  For a time.

 

Then nothing.

 

Fans on social media were looking for answers.  There's a Facebook group dedicated to the subject.

 

Apparently, it was a local Kansas City company that recognized it's success but tried to grow too hard and too fast.  Reportedly, they ended up with $5M in debt they couldn't repay.

 

So, I guess the courts stepped in and after some preliminary steps, today is the day that a live auction between the three highest bidders will be (or has been) conducted.

 

Let's hope for the best.

Yes we are all hoping beyond hope for someone to take over the company and for the original company to provide their recipe because they are truly different than any other taco shells on the market.
