Answer is crunchy. You can turn it into a taco salad if you get bored with it.

i've never quite got the double decker dorks or triple d's as my friends and i all call them. the shell is nothing more than an edible bowl for the tastier insides and you dorks have gone and basically stuck a bowl inside of a bowl. because why? because you like eating bowls? is that it? why not just save us all some time, drive to the grocery store, get a bunch of bowls and then go back home and just keep eating until you pass out and leave the actual taco eating to those of us that like eating tacos.

whenever a food loser picks the wrong option he always blames it on how hard the other option is to eat. have you guys noticed that? wings with actual bones in them? my god i'd have wing sauce all over my face/hair. no way. crunchy tacos? i think not. it might possible get a little soggy or whatever and break apart. soft all the way, is what i say. it's like eating is long division and i'm in a room full of second graders.

I try to avoid Taco Bell if I can. But if the gringo in me wins out or I'm just in a hurry and hungry in the Detroit airport or something, I bypass all of the above and just get a Crunchwrap Supreme (w/fire sauce - better make it a half dozen or more packets, and a Mr. Pibb - don't think they have Dr. Pepper).

Admittedly, I didn't read RD's description and parameters before I answered the poll. I answered "soft."

Soft tacos (with two corn tortillas if machine pressed or just one if hand pressed) are TRUE tacos mexicanos. Lettuce? Cheese? Nope. Top 'em with cilantro, onions (minched/diced), chile (the sauce, not the soup), and lime (MAYBE some pico de gallo and avocados). Or those pickled red onions if way down South in México or Central America.

My faves are tacos de pastor (but tripas, barbacoa, bistec, pollo - they're all good too; not big on brain tacos).

Sometimes I eat too savagely and swallow large shards of shell which lacerate my esophagus. Also soft is authentico. Also at non authentic places soft tacos are bigger. Soft is the winner here, kids.

P.S. Go hard or go home.
Taco eating 101: Hold the back of your taco at a downward angle so the juice drips out onto your plate or napkin. Alternative: if you DON'T want to lose the juice (like me), hold the (soft) taco such that you can pinch the back end closed between your pinky and ring fingers.

Pro-tip: don't take forever to eat the taco and it won't get soggy (either crunchy or soft). Tacos aren't meant to sit around long term.  :impatient:

I'd go with this, except for the last part, crunchy with bean and cheese burrito on the side. I mean, I like chicken, corn, mashed potatoes, but I'm not running to KFC to ask them to throw it all together in a fuckin bowl so it's all soggy.

Crunchy.

I try to never go to Taco Bell, but when I do, I always get the crunch wrap supreme.  I crunchy shell, wrapped in a soft shell that's, get this, grilled, so it ends up being slightly crunchy itself.  Mind blown, and the correct answer
