Is Taco Bell genius? They keep coming up with ways to market the same few ingredients they have, just in different shapes, as new inventions.Seems like brilliant marketing to me, cause every now and again something "new" catches my dads eye and he wants to try it.

In any case, I just tried this, anyone else? At first I was worried cause the first couple bites were all bread, but after eating two of them I feel like it was more filling than I thought, so for a dollar I can't say it's a bad deal if you just needed a quick something to eat, I would say if you got to the point where you were going to spend five dollars though you're better off just going for the box meal than buying five of these

Sounds like all Mexican food, desu.

I don't eat taco bell often but I've gotten the 5 dollar box like twice a year since its inception.

Chalupas and soft shell tacos are the only things that are consistently good to me.

I think it tasted like a tomatoless Meximelt. I am gonna ask if they charge to add tomatoes next time I get one.

These taste like a slightly smaller crunch wrap minus vegetables, not bad but mine was poorly made

It's usually hit or miss.

Also, I should probably tell you that every fast food place does this. I've worked at Jack in the Box for quite some time, and I've seen a lot of new inventions, some even more crazier than what Taco Bell pulls out of its ass. and all it uses are the same ingredients that gets used for our regular menu. Occasionally a new type of sauce or syrup, but that's about it.

taco bell is the saddest excuse for mexican food. I know food trucks who taste way better than that shit you call food. plain tasting simplistic fucking ingredients and joke as fuck hot sauces that won't even give you good heat.

enchiritos, bean burritos, and regular tacos are the only good thing at taco bell. everything else has too much fake nacho cheese and/or way too much nasty sour cream.
