Show Notes
La Tiara taco shells, a Kansas City favorite for sixty-five years, are making a comeback after their Gladstone factory closed in January 2025. General Mills acquired the brand, restarted production, and recently held a grand reopening. These thin, crispy corn shells, made from stone-ground yellow and white corn, have a massive local following. The plant has been running for a few months, and early batches are already on Walmart shelves. Full distribution begins the week of April twentieth, with plans to ship nationwide. The local communitys enthusiasm for these shells was evident when shelves went empty, leading to a Facebook group with over twenty-two thousand members in a town of twenty-seven thousand. General Mills, unaware of the cult following, is now embracing the hype and hometown energy. These shells connect generations of families, and their return is fueling pride and Taco Tuesdays across the area.
