best items are cheesey gordita crunch, chicken or steak quesadillas, crunchwrap, chalupas, IMO. and always get a side of pintos and cheese and maybe a nacho cheese cup to dump on your items, making it even better.

Although their XXL taco is the shit, if it became a regular menu item that'd be all I'd get.

>>5475916
>>5475956
That looks like shit.

Why do you people eat this garbage

>>5475995
This thread isn't for you, m8. Fuck off and go make yourself an authentic burrito with homegrown beans and freshly grilled pork from the pig you killed this morning.

>>5475999
Maybe I will

>>5475995
it's refried beans with cheese and taco sauce melted on top, what the fuck else could it look like. refried beans is literally like, the lowest you can go in terms of bitching....you must have SERIOUS ocd.

>>5476020
Enjoy your diabetestroll

Volcano burrito-oh wait...

Frito burr--no...

Maybe a taco with fire roasted border sals-ah, that's gone too.

>tfw taco bell systematically removes anything remotely good
At least they still have the cheesy potato bowl... sans the green onions...

>>5475916
get directions to a real taco shop

>>5476025
>diabetus from refried beans and cheese

>>5476035
They don't sell hard shell tacos at "real" taco shops.

>>5476035
>no cheese
I eat at legitimate mexican places semi frequently, but i must say americans did one thing right and that's adding yellow cheese to most tacos and burritos. any combination of bread and meat is made better by cheese

>>5476046
>cheese
but cheese analogue isn't cheese and it just makes things shittier

>>5476046
Please leave.

>>5476041

>taco bell
>beans

It's like calling Kraft singles "cheese." The appearance is most of the way there, but take one bite and you know something's not quite kosher.

That said, I fucking love Taco Bell's spurious and probably-carcinogenic bean paste.

>>5476052
lol my reaction exactly

>>5476052
>>5476066
Girly men.

>>5476063
They're re fried beans...a bean is a fucking bean, how boring do you have to be to be elitist about poor people food?

>>5476071
>a bean is a fucking bean
Except when Taco Bell gets a hold of them...

But hey, it's less than 2% sand.

BEANS
Pinto Beans, Soy Oil (Trans Fat Free Shortening With TBHQ And Citric Acid To Protect Flavor), Seasoning Blend (Salt, Sugar, Spice, Beet Powder [Color], Autolyzed Yeast Extract (Contains Gluten), Sunflower Oil, Maltodextrin [Corn, Potato, Tapioca], Inactivated Yeast, Corn Flour, Natural Flavors, Trehalose, Modified Corn Starch And Less Than 2% Silicone Dioxide As A Processing Aid). CONTAINS: GLUTEN

>>5476046
>any combination of bread and meat is made better by cheese
Rotten stinking cheese is something that is capable of making things better REALLY. What sort of sickness is this?

>>5476077
a very fine and unnoticeable sand

>>5476080

>being non-white

>>5476077
If God didn't intend for you to eat sand, he wouldn't have made beans grow out of the ground.

Checkmate, atheists.

>>5475956
>halupas
this shit right here. those and gorditas.

my normal taco hell order is nachos supreme, a crunch wrap supreme (RIP in pieces queso crunchwrap), and a chicken nacho cheese chalupa. and a bigass fuckin baja blast.

i had one of those new XL nachos recently, was very good and pretty big, but a bit pricey at $5

>>5475916
Not that one. Try a Meximelt or 2 and chili cheese burrito (when they have them.)

>>5476077
Your vagina contains much more sand, I reckon.

>>5475916
Grillled stuft burrito.

Now it's the XXL Grilled stuft burrito.
A side of nachos.
A taco,
A frozen baja blast, large.
^usually my go to order.

Lots of sauce too.

been a long time(thyme) everyone gives the bell shit. like Mckey d, jackofinthebox or others but here goes... noon or midnight...two sofft and one.crunchy all ltm, if drive through, can I have medium sauce, please drinks at home, thanks. If a crowd or family. I'm doomed.Yeah, I'll have a crispy supreme, a bean and cheese burrito , the two soft ltm and what ever these want. and a few of those cinomeny things. weell, a bunch. Please avert your eyes. Im about to grab a handful of medium sauce. why not bottle it and sell it. Is it mex? no.Texmex? noope Is it good yep. hate to admit it but yep. at least the ones around here. breakfast I eat at home (cereal and fruit maybe ,tea coffee) the bell ain't bad,round here. it might not be "authentic" but that's ok (no chef of great renown, in fact a layabout drunk...sometimes... everyone has those days (last nights supper... browened ground(minced) beef, a can of drained yellow corn, a can of chillies - not jalepenos green chillies, some tp or crystal. and a beer or 5 at home. Seriously, I like taco hell, um bell Im not soo old. you probably should not be drinking any thing blue(color of windex) and that goes for sonic also but the ones around here are good. they have to be.Lot's of competition I'ts like "arbys"horsy" or even ssush now,dare you... yeah mickey dee sauce is just mayo, ketchup and mustard, with a bit of sweet pickle.and...or harlan sanders (kfc 11 herbs and spices pro tip I oven "fry" skin on thighs aside from the "usual" add a bit of nutmeg, and try to leave off the "herb" much as you can). I recall those days, working as as dishwasher/busboy/prep/line cook split shifts, low pay...do you yearn for the past... not a gd bit .I appreciate friends I made, and tip well and am nice but the last job, I was prep, line and anything else, (chief cook and bottle washer) and then ta da motels. Honestly, many people were great But like the military. low pay, long hours and if you got half a brain, do something else

>>5475916
>>5475956

who the fuck convinces you to even eat this the first time you do? seriously? this looks like someone served up slop from a fuckin trough and start cumming all over it and they started pissing blood out their cock too or some shit

Just my two cents but the quesadillas are way overpriced for what you get. They're good but not worth it.

>>5475916
>lesser known items that is good

Bean tostada with lots of hot sauce. It's not on the menu anymore but a simple classic. Fiesta potatoes are a good side for that, I don't think many people order those either. Same with pintos and cheese side.

>>5476332
I can sleep better knowing you still post here.

>>5476339
i thought i told you to fuck off

Steak taquitos. It's basically the same stuff as a quesadilla but in wrapped form...and similar to a quesadilla they can be heavy on the shredded cheese which I hate. THen again, I only really ordered it at the TB at my university - those guys always put extra meat in everything. I didn't eat non-campus TB for a long time after graduating.

>>5476375

different person you autistic fuck, sorry you cant comprehend more than one person not wanting to eat your slop amerifat

>>5476122
>gorditas

Gordita combo, almost everyday in college when I had a meal plan. Thank God those days are over. Why did they do that to us?

>>5476385
that's why you have mcdonalds in your country and are mad you don't have a taco bell yet

>>5476385
>everyone has to like what i like and hate what i hate

>>5475916
double decker tacos. some taco bells have them for $1.39 a piece but I've seen them up to $1.99. best thing on the menu, and if you can find them cheap you're in business

>>5476391

how do you look at the first 2 pictures and say that's food? it looks like youd have to eat it with a spoon or some shit, and I'm led to believe it's meat? what the fuck is that about?

>>5476393

>why doesn't everyone love my slop?!

>>5475916
protip, the only thing worth getting there is a bean burrito with cheese or plain quesadilla, something so simple they can't fuck up, the only actually good tasting item on there are the little churro balls or whatever theyre called.

>>5476400
it's not meat, its a burrito that shows no meat and refried beans you vapid stooge

>>5476408

you can't even tell what the fuck it is from looking at it, how can you eat it? how do you even know what you get when you order is actually what you ordered? does all of taco bell look that fucking disgusting?

>>5476332
I need to clarify (hey, like butter). I was a USAFR officer reserve (mostly) and active(seldom).I would never,ever, denigrate the US armed forces. or our allies. A force fights on it's belly. cooking is important. very everyone wants to be georgie patton. welp, you aint. ask napolian or hitler I am no fan of stalin or the old ussr.I had 5 uncles and My own Dad 82 and 101st ?You no who was shot twice, mortared wounded, twice,II and best Korestan. 2 purple hearts a bronze, twice. and silver. tell the truth and shame the devil. when he died, a huey from bragg as an honor guard He was a cook.

>>5475916
Allright /ck/. 20-year-old middle-class Murican college student here.
Never eaten at taco bell. Ever. You guys made me curious, though. Tonight's a good night as any to pop my cherry, so if you guys can recommend a good (under $5, off-menu is fine) sampler, I'll get some tonight and report back.

If this is an ethical choice then you are a moron. If this is a religious choice... then you are still a moron.

Those AM cruncwraps are wonderful if you have 5-10 minutes before needing to be at work.

>>5476588
Turns out my local bell closes at 10:00. Kinda defeats the point, but whatever.

It's a forgotten item, but the Mexican Pizza is as good as it ever was. I'm kind of amazed that they haven't cancelled it yet since the only other item that uses these round hard tortillas is the Tostada, and that's been killed.

Also >>5476163 because the Meximelt is still awesome (though overpriced for what you get), and chili cheese burritos have always been one of their best items but mine stopped offering them again. And >>5476566 - I loved the potato tacos when they first came out, I'd often get 2 of those + 1 bean burrito and it would be a great cheap meal.

The 7-Layer Burrito is pretty good but would be better if it had some structure. As it is it's kinda goopy

>>5477006

I always just opened up the seven-layer and used it as a dip for tortilla chips.

Get fucking nothing. Seriously, just pass this place up.
I had TB last night, because we were on the road and starving. I had the loaded potato griller and a burrito supreme. Both of them sucked, and the "food" is still sitting in my gut like a rock. I'm going to have to do a fiber flush or something, because it's a no-go. I realize it's cheap fast food for po' folk and stoners, but goddamn, that was really fucking gross. I'll just stay hungry next time. THIS is why you should always keep snacks like nuts or crackers or something in the car.

>>5477097
>fiber flush

>>5475916

I had their steak and egg burrito this morning and it was actually quite good, far better than McD's breakfast burrito.

Best part was I got it at a combo Taco Bell / Long John Silver's place, so in addition to the four TB hot sauces and their new 'Salsa del Sol', there was also a big bottle of Cajun Chef Louisana hot sauce (which I'd never had before). I ate the burrito alternating between 6 different hot sauces between bites. Was awesome.

>>5479521
yeah honestly taco bell's breakfast has impressed me. I'm not much for their crunchwrap whatevers but I like breakfast burritos and my only options have ever been mcdonalds or homemade, or that horrible bacon-avocado one they have at dennys. it's nice to have a third option.

black bean burrito
not all stores have it
but it is soooo yummy!

>>5479569

It's pretty good but the regular bean burrito is just as filling and much cheaper.

>>5475916
Soft shell taco with only meat

>>5476032
why did you have to remind me that the fire roasted sauce is gone.

why.

steak soft tacos dressed fresco. no cheese or sour cream, which makes the baby jesus cry, but they'll clock in at 150 calories each. put some fire sauce on them and they're pretty delicious.

gordita, quesadillas, hell im good with all of it. MEXICAN PIZZA, its a tostada
Anyone here have the sangria Mnt Dew? I felt it was underwhelming

>>5476973
>forgotten item
What? How could something like that be forgotten?

They had better not cancel that. It would break my heart just like when McDonald's got rid of the Angus Mushroom and Swiss.

>>5481614

I don't get this comparison. The Mexican Pizza has been a TB staple for decades, like the Burrito Supreme and Meximelt. The Angus blah-blah was some fad bullshit that was going to disappear as soon as people stopped caring about the word "Angus", to be replaced by some mislabeled Quarter Pounder line (note that none of the QPs have 2 slices of cheese).

In any case, the Mexican Pizza uses those round tortillas that AFAIK aren't used on anything else. Unique ingredients are what killed the chili cheese burrito (twice). Maybe the MP is just too much of a signature item to ever get rid of but at $3-4+ depending on where you are, I can't imagine too many people order it.

>>5476510
I have a vegetarian friend that loves Taco Bell. Evidently they are really good about substituting things. If I recall, he says that the Crunchwrap Supreme (subbing beans for beef) is his favorite.

>>5481614
>>5481997
I haven't had a mexican pizza in years and I do actually forget about it. Its a good item too from what I remember, I used to get them semi regularly. Not sure why I don't get them anymore, like I said I forget about it and order other things or maybe they cost too much. I'm making a point to get one next time I go.

>>5481587
I liked the sangria Mnt Dew, it was sour tasting which is good for me.

>>5483391
i got a mexican pizza recently from this brand new taco bell that opened up where my parents live, and so all the food is at its highest quality (kek). i dont know if it was because i hadn't eaten one since i was a kid, but that shit seemed WAY smaller to me. was pretty dissapointing for how expensive it was. tasty though.

>>5483398
I don't remember them being massive or anything, just sort of heavy and filling. It's the same size diameter of a plain tostada I think. How much do they cost these days? I'm pretty sure that's why I don't pay attention to it, same with the quesadillas. Those quesadillas are really tasty but are a terrible value for what you get.

OP, the best thing you can get from Taco Bell is literally anything plus a bag of Flamin' Hot Fritos you picked up from the 7-11 down the street.

Pour the Fritos on whatever Taco Bell item you bought, and enjoy.

>>5483420
it just seemed like the diameter was smaller. but again, that could have been because i'm grown up now.

i can't remember how much they cost but it was a few bucks and i just didnt really feel like it was worth what i paid. delicious, for sure, but overpriced. basically the exact same problem with the quesadillas.

those new xxl nachos are a pretty good deal though, almost as good as those $5 fully loaded nachos they had a few years ago.

>>5476510
Taco Bell is actually one of the easiest fast food places to be vegetarian at.

You can pick literally any item off the menu and ask to have the meat substituted with beans.

Obviously works better with certain items than others, but whatever.

Every drive-thru fast food place is only good for the value menu.

>>5483435
>xxl nachos

I like your style dude. The nachos bell grande have always been one of my favorites, the added guacamole and pico just makes it even better. I usually get them with the ground beef but I asked them to do it with the shredded chicken the other night, I recommend that for best nacho. It's a ton of food for $5, I either munch on them all night for hours or have enough to save for a small lunch the next day.

>>5483391
It's still a good item, I guess the $ is for the novelty of the thing more than the actual mass of food you're getting. It doesn't look as pizza-like as it used to though, now that they got rid of the green onions and olives.

Still overpriced though. I suppose they don't want people ordering the old classics, they want them ordering the new Doritos tacos and Smotherrito etc.

Black bean burrito.

It's the only thing on the menu that doesn't have that "oh shit I'm eating taco bell" feel to it

also the fresca tacos

>>5483464
shit if you like these xxl nachos, do you remember when they had pic related? i just fucking know they discontinued that shit because of lack of profit. so much fucking food for $5.

but yeah, until they came out with these new nachos, i'd get a bel grande or nachos supreme because i like their nachos in general.

unfortunately for me, i only ever seem to end up when vastly intoxicated and so i plow through an xxl nacho while giving no fucks. so good, but so fucking wrong.

i honestly didnt even know they had shredded chicken, i just thought all their chicken was the chopped up chicken like you get on chalupas and such. definitely gonna have to try some substitutions next time i end up at taco bell.

it's funny, i almost never eat fast food, but there is something strangely addictive about taco bell. it's like nostalgia for the part of me that's still the pothead from high school

>>5483476
forgot muh pic

>>5476973
>the Meximelt is still awesome (though overpriced for what you get)

yep that thing is over $2 for something that's mostly cheese. it's smaller than the soft taco. but very rich

>>5483476
Yea I hate cheap fast food unless it's taco bell, some of it is nostalgia for me too. It's the only fast food my parents liked so I had it growing up instead of McDonalds and other stuff. And it was where we went when we skipped class in highschool. I eat fastfood 1-2x a month but it's usually drunken taco bell.

I do remember those fully loaded nachos now, seems like that was so long ago, I loved that shit. Those came out around the time I started going to bars alot and filled the void nicely if I didn't bring home a cheap date lol.

The shredded chicken is new and good as fuck, best meat on the menu.

>>5483472
How much are those now? I'd pay $3 for the nostalgia and novelty but I'm guessing they are at least $4. Realistically that should be a $2.50 item.

>>5483544
$2.99 last time I looked (central CT)
