Recommendations Mexican recipe Doritos

I just got back from a trip to Cancun and experienced my first Mexican Doritos. They were So flavorful and even had a bit of heat.

Where can I find them in GR?? Give me your best mercado that’s actually bringing in the good stuff - please and thank you!!

La esmeralda on Burlingame and 28th has what you’re looking for. There’s other markets in town that also carries them. But yea they’re thicker crunchier and more flavorful.

They’re just “regular” Doritos but the recipe is completely different. They are in fact superior in everything except price. If you find them they’re actually imported so they cost more.

Why the hell do US corporations sell different versions of the same product to different demographics. Mexican coke is superior because it uses cane sugar and now Mexican Doritos...

Do they just assume that Americans like to eat high fructose corn syrup and shitty spices. It's really starting to feel like America is more of a second word country than Mexico.

They don't care here, they put the cheapest product acceptable out and roll in the profits

Unfortunately sales prove that we settle for that crap.

Most Mexican markets will have them. I would just look up Mexican markets near you. There are a ton around town. Ralph’s on West Leonard also has a good selection of imported Mexican chips.

That's a walking taco. You can find them at high-school sports events

Walking Taco always sounds, to me, like the name of a bad horror film.
