Hard taco shells in the Philippines come from one place: Manila Bambi Foods, the same importer behind our masa harina, dried chiles, and tortillas pages. They stock four shell SKUs — one flour, three corn — plus a fifth that’s currently sold out.
If you’re after raw corn tortillas instead of pre-fried hard shells — for tacos dorados, enchiladas, or pressing your own — that’s covered on our tortillas page. Manila Bambi hasn’t stocked an uncooked corn tortilla as of this check, only these pre-fried shells.
Short answer
Cheapest: Bambi’s flour shells and Bubbling corn shells are tied at ₱45 for 12 (₱25.00 per 100 g). Pick flour or corn based on what the recipe needs — price won’t decide it for you.
If you specifically want a hard corn shell: Bambi Corn Taco Shells at ₱63 for 12 (₱35.00 per 100 g) is the only SKU Manila Bambi itself labels as corn.
Skip: the Lazada listing charging ₱109 for the same Bubbling Taco Shells that cost ₱45 direct from Manila Bambi — more than double for identical stock.
Flour
The only flour taco shell Manila Bambi carries. Everything else in their range is corn.

Bubbling and standard Corn Taco Shells are both corn, but Manila Bambi’s own listings don’t explain why one costs 40% more than the other, and neither product page shows a shape or thickness difference. The mini “4 shells cost more per 100 g than either despite the lower sticker price — you’re paying for the smaller, fiddlier format. Taquitos Shells are currently sold out with no restock date given. Watch the seller on marketplace links: the Lazada row above is a third-party reseller, not Manila Bambi, and marks the price up more than double.
