not very crammable with those chips is it

Beefy crunch burritos are just a dollar dude stop eating in fancy city Taco bells.

one is beefy and crunchy, the other is beefy and melty.

They've been pulling this shit since the menucaust. They get rid of all their most popular items and then bring them back as LTOs for 2-3 times the price. The fritos burrito was one of their best items because it was only a dollar, and 3 fritos burritos was better than virtually any of their "premium" items like the crunchwrap or xxl grilled stuft burrito. They always relied on LTOs to get people in the door, but then offered a combination of really cheap drunk food and overpriced combos for the SUV crowd. Now they're trying to sell the cheap drunk food for premium prices it's gotten old fast. They've completely lost the plot.

>>19540448
If you stop being poor and just buy a bunch of the premium items, the food is really good, diverse and filling.

>>19540459
>stop being poor
That's exactly how black people justify eating at Red Lobster when there's an actual seafood restaurant across the street serving fresh fish prepared by professional cooks for the same price.

You are by far the most disgusting poster on this board

i used to work there
all the premium shit sucks and aint worth it
I stick to the beefy melts

>>19540397
Is this shit confirmed to be two fifty a piece? I'm not surprised considering how fucking overpriced the volcano shit was.

>>19540397
Best guess: Licensing fees. TB gotta pay Frito-Lay for using Fritos and the Fritos brand logo. TB probably doesn't have to pay to use "fiesta" strips.

>>19540459
No thx at that I'll just go to a real taco restaurant

>>19540472
Yeah but the local seafood restaurant across the street doesn't have cheddar biscuits, now does it?

>>19540397
You’re pretty much paying extra for the flamin hot flavor. The fiesta strips are just red colored regular tortilla chips

why do the cravings boxes force you to get the shitty bean burritos that always have too much refried beans? why can't you swap it for a taco or something

Taco bell going down the toilet saved me from my terminal fast food addiction. So thankful to yum foods for running them into the ground.

>>19540397
taco bell needs a spaheghetti option
a nice spicy bolognse would be great. can you concur?

>>19542019
It's honestly helped me stop going out so much too. I love taco bell, still do flavor-wise, but their marketing and more importantly the cost and shrinking of their items has just made me stop giving a shit. I go every now and then still, but it used to be fat-fuck levels of taco bell specifically 2-4 times a week + other fast food - now instead going to fast food AT ALL has dropped to (still admittedly too much) ~2 times a week instead. I cook almost everything myself again.

>>19540397
i went to taco bell yesterday and they didn't have any volcano stuff. WHAT THE FUCK

Fritos fucking suck, I don't know why these idiots can't just fill their burritos with doritos, the obviously better choice. Just crumble some of your stupid taco shells into it, would taste way better

>>19540397
taco bell marketing has the only brand that can remotely project me food poisoning

>>19542109
>crushed Doritos in a taco
Subhuman behavior, anon

>>19540448
Hey TB, how's in hangin', nice kids Opinel (unironically). I should use my Opinel more but I worry about moisture and food junk getting in the crack, so more often I use a cheap Mora as my meme dinner knife.

>>19540448
You are by far the most based poster on this board

>>19541559
It's funny because that's actually a serious factor for these people, right next to free refills on soda.

>>19542543
It should be a factor, the cheddar biscuits are dope

>>19542109
The Doritos tacos are unironically one of the worst things they have on the menu. They're so salty they're basically inedible.

>>19542556
I bet you go to Taco Bell for the Baja Blast.
I throw out the drink whenever I get a combo.

>>19540448
Why are your hauls so sad now?

>>19542584
Why not just get a drink you like? They aren't all sodas.

>>19542668
I used to only spend $5-$7 a trip. A value sized burrito with a taco now costs $9 because "volcano sauce!" I'm not spending $20+ for a fast food meal when the same amount of food is still cheaper at real restaurants.
>>19542673
Unfortunately you can't order ice water on the app - only bottled.

>>19540397
Chicken quesadilla and Mexican pizzas all day. Or the grilled cheese steak burrito. Get a real job and you won’t even notice BS jew methods.

>>19540397
taco bell is just the same 12 things randomized over and over. Anything with the strips has been really good, imo. I just want them to keep lava sauce permanently :(

>>19540397
You wouldnt understand
Red adds flavor

>>19542584
>I throw out the drink whenever I get a combo.
Why not just ask for no drink

>>19542069
2 times a week fast food is fine, especially if you're active in some way

am i the only one that doesn't like the tortilla strips? i love taco bells chips but those things are somehow worse than the rice.

>>19542566

explains why I love them because I drown everything in salt :3

Pepsico owns both.

QUIT PUTTING THOSE STUPID CHIPS IN MENU ITEMS TB FUCK OFF ALREADY ITS SHIT

>>19540397
Get the Volcano Combo instead it's legit.

>taco bell removes the queserito from the menu
>apparently it's now only available if you order with the phone app
>taco bell has actual IRL DLC
>mfw

Just make your own taco bell at home? I make bean and cheese tacos at home and it’s literally the cheapest povo food possible and it’s ready in under 5 minutes with some canned beans. Same goes if I add beef, or sour cream, or really any ingredient.

I just don’t get the appeal of taco bell

>>19546059
This. I haven't bought Taco Bell in years after I realized how quick and easy it is to make low-quality texmex. Even if you're all-in on the Taco Bell spices, they sell that shit in the store.

>>19545979
My Taco Bell is already starting with the "We don't have it anymore".

Fuck Taco Bell.

>>19542766
I look at this and think "Holy shit all that must be soggy as fuck from the time it took him to order that to his house then pose it"

>>19542766
How fat do you think this anon is? I saw a post with the same background like 1.5 years ago with a similarly prodigious amount of food.

>>19545979
>that'll be $12 sir

>>19542766
Go nose down and call it a night

So I'm new to /ck/ I understand TB threads are common occurrence here... what have I been missing out on

>>19540397
You can get a box combo with like 4 items including a chalupa for $5.00 using the app. That's cheaper than buying the chalupa itself on menu. Don't try to make sense of Taco Bell prices.

>>19546607
The taste and smell of your own dick, aged 30 years in a dumpster

Fuck Taco Bell. I tried the new volcano menu items and later that day when I took a shit, my cat refused to enter the bathroom like they normally do. If my cat is willing to normally walk in while I'm doing my business, despite the stench, but not after having the Taco Bell volcano mixed in with the rest of the waste, then I sincerely wonder what the actual fuck they are putting into our food.

>>19540448
In the coming collapse, the obese will starve just like the rest of us, except it will take them longer. Their maladjusted hunger signals will make sure they feel more pain, too

For a brief time you will have a taste of hell on earth before you go to the eternal fires below, you gigantic fucking pigger

Why the fuck get rid of THE DOUBLE DECKER and things like 1$ shredded quesadilla
I pretty much hate taco bell

$3.75 for a tiny chicken soft taco that's not even listed on the menu.
It's now soft taco sub beef for chicken with a premium charge.
Like really fuck taco bell now days

>>19540448
>They've been pulling this shit since the menucaust. They get rid of all their most popular items and then bring them back as LTOs for 2-3 times the price.
Every junk food manufacturer including and especially fast food restaurants want to constantly be touting "McRibs" that they can "generate excitement" with. The smart ones just invented new seasonal shit, which is basically what McDonalds did with Shamrock Shake or what every fucking "pumpkin spice" whatever maker does. The dumb ones like Taco Bell nuke their menus and treat their customers like assholes.

Hardee's did this with the cinnamon raisin biscuit. It was literally their most famous and popular menu item so they thought it would be a good idea to discontinue it so they could trot it out occasionally and declare "ITS BACK!" while making it more expensive and not nearly as good because now they've fucked up their supply chain and their employees aren't accustomed to making it.

They can all get fucked.

Oh and "do you want hot sauce?" At the ordering screen?? Fucking I'll let you know at the fucking window. Don't just throw in two hot sauces for my 3 item order. Seriously fuck you taco bell

>>19546059
>Just make your own taco bell at home?
Easiest fast food to replicate at home, hands down. 90% of their specific ingredients are sold in stores, including spices and the specific refried beans. The only thing you will struggle with are chalupa shells (good luck with that). I recommend running 80/20 ground beef through a food processor to make it finer and then blending with the refried beans. Also, shred your cheddar fresh instead of using pre-shredded that's coated in starch.

>>19547157
The app has you add them individually at order. They're going to charge for them eventually beyond 1 per item probably.

>>19544605
Am I missing something? Its literally the beefy melt

>>19545979
>8 dollaridoos for a taco burrito and proprietary Goyslop Blast™
why the fuck do people still go to taco bell?

>>19547169
>I recommend running 80/20 ground beef through a food processor to make it finer and then blending with the refried beans.

>>19547176
>app has you add them individually at order
And when you get to the window they just throw in however many they feel like. Having the cashier count out individual packets of hot sauce would take so long it wouldn't be worth however much they charged.

>>19547560
whats wrong what that? You've never re-ground your beef to make a slurry like the Mexicans do?

>>19548821
Beef shouldnt be a slurry at all, if you want zero resistance protein go have some eggs or a protein shake

>>19546059
>Just make your own taco bell at home?
After 20 years of being gluten free I *JUST* found out Sunday taco bell hard tacos are gluten free. Like what the fuck, I've been struggling to eat in the wild and all this time I could have been having tacos?

>>19549102
Fine consistency beef is used all the time. I just use it for this specific purpose because Mexican restaurants always grind theirs finer.

>>19547169
I find the cooking the beef normally and then hitting it with a potato master is sufficient to get taco bell consistency.

>>19549137
Who cares about mexican authenticity, especially when you're trying to imitate taco bell
Again, the point is that ground beef fried and seasoned and broken up as is gives that texture. All the ingredients, layered deliberately, each providing distinct layers of flavor and texture. Ground beef is supposed to have some chew. Beef is best when it provides texture. Why dont you throw in the cheese lettuce and tomatoes in with the beef as well? Make a little texmex smoothierito? using a blender for anything outside the salsa is fucking retarded.

>>19549172
>Who cares about mexican authenticity, especially when you're trying to imitate taco bell
I don't. I'm saying both Mexican restaurants AND Taco Bell use finer-ground beef.

>>19549172
>Again, the point is that ground beef fried and seasoned and broken up as is gives that texture.
No it doesn't. This isn't about your general philosophy towards ground beef. As you say, it's about trying to imitate a specific meal.

>>19549113
Pretty much every taco place has corn tortillas available
