All of a sudden they just disappeared! Stores, online, everywhere! Now I have to eat Ranch Doritos. :(
I don't want to open a can of worms here but are you taking about the original flavor Taco Doritos that they started selling in 1968 or the more recent Taco Doritos they have been selling in retro packaging?
The Taco Doritos they have been selling for the last 20 to 30 years are oddly distributed. They only sell them regionally and they change what regions those are every so often. I think you are the victim of such a region change.
Click on Buy Now then scroll down to and click on Taco Doritos. A check mark will appear. Then go back up to the top to search and see if they are available in your area.

I'm talking about the ones that were available just a few weeks ago.
They don't have them in any of our local stores. (I'm not driving out of town for a bag of chips.)
The Doritos website lists a half dozen places to buy Doritos online and none of them sell Taco. I probably wouldn't buy them online, anyway, 'cause the shipping would triple the price.
Yeah, you probably got caught in the way they regionalize where they sell them. It's weird.
The Taco Doritos are my favorite. I like the taste and they don't have as much irritating dust on them as do the cheese-flavored chips.
Besides, of all the Doritos, they have the lowest amount of sodium - something I have to limit.

Yeah, but we don't have a Rite-Aid in our town.
I feel your pain. Ranch Doritos aren't very good. Taco are great. There seems to be a lot of stuff vanishing. I was only able to score 2 boxes of jasmine Rice at my local Kroger the other day. That stuff is usually very plentiful. good luck on your quest for Taco Doritos.
I know Kroger does carry them, because I have seen them recently. If you submit a request, they might stock the item for you.

I was wondering this myself! That was my favorite flavor. Now I'm back to the standard nacho cheese flavor.
Think this situation is bad, just try ordering eye of newt!

They're banned in most states. The Newt lobby is pretty strong!
I'm old school. When it comes to Tex-Mex type snacks, I go for these:

I prefer the "Chili Cheese" ones.

I tried that site and found out that they are not available from ANY local supermarket.
But, the ARE available from 5 small vendors - all of them liquor stores and gas station mini-marts.
That really does sound odd.
Update. They had 20 or so bags of these Taco Dorito's at a local grocery store. Neither the Walmart or Target across the street had from the grocery store had them. Mystical these chips are.

I'll have to check some of the other groceries around town.
My fiancé came home with three bags of Taco Doritos for me today! They still exist! She got them from Meijer, if that helps anyone.
Walmart has them listed on the General Merchandise side of their online shopping catalog - but NOT on the Home Delivery Groceries side.
Target also lists them for home delivery.
Go figure.

Walmart and Target both list online shopping items that ship from others - things that are not found at their named stores. The items count toward online order minimums but ship separately.
I don't get it, either.
Can you even get the Bar-B-Q Frito corn chips anymore? A buddy of mine and I were just talking about that a few days ago. I see the Chili flavored ones all over the place, but can't recall the last time I saw the BBQ. (I think we still have Taco Doritos around, though.)

I'd swear WM has them, but I could be wrong.
Finally found some Taco Doritos at a small local grocery store that I haven't been to in a while! Yum! :)

I will just do that! :)
The bar-b-que Corn Chips are impossible to find in my area, these days. Have been for quite a while.
Bought another bag of Taco Doritos, today. :)

I watched a YouTube documentary about Frito-Lay/Doritos. Seems Doritos Taco Flavor was their original flavor.
I still like it best.

I know the Taco and Nacho Cheese were the first two. Well the plain ones were the first.
