I love Orinoco bananas I think they are delicious! Way better than store bought Cavendish with a nice fruity flavor and they can get HUGE where you can barely bite it.

I also growing Dwarf Orinoco (California Gold) but haven't fruited it yet so I've only tasted Tall Orinoco, although I did read somewhere that Dwarf Orinoco bananas don't taste as good as Tall Orinoco - but I can't remember the source.

Anyway like someone mentioned above taste is subjective anyway.
Here's a taste review from a member
