For me, it depends on the meat. A ground meat, hard shell all the way. For shredded meat or fish, it’s got to be a soft shell.

OK, this reminds me of the chicken nugget is not a boneless wing discussion.

 

Taco is meant to have a hard shell, if not it is a wrap.

 

THIS!

Hard shell for me, I hate the soft shell or anything related to bread or pasta. I do buy the soft taco boats for my son as he says they are easier to eat.

Soft taco. Otherwise you may as well just eat nachos. And you can’t eat hard tacos while driving unless you don’t care about wearing your food.

 

For what it’s worth, the original taco was soft. Hard tacos are an American invention. At least according to Ortega.

I picked soft just because of it's versatility.
