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.

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

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.
