If its the brand in the photo in the post its one of the longest running in NZ and OP is right they have no flavour at all. But we do have good tortilla chip brands in NZ now (for ages it was basically this brand and Doritos/CCs), and the plain ones are much better and def delicious.

I took for granted my proximity to Mexico... Now I feel guilty for rubbing it in OP's face. I'm sorry, New Zealand!

Heh, well yes - even our best brands from specialty online retailers or restaurants probably aren't going to compare to what you can get! Its got a lot better in the last decade though, I think anyway i've not had the opportunity to try the real thing.
