Why does Taco Bell have no real competition?

I know there's Del Taco, but they have way less locations, some might argue Chipotle but they're a completely different business model. Contrast them with say McDonalds, they have to deal with Burger King, Jack N the Box, Carls/Hardys, Wendys, etc. Dominos, Little Ceasars, Pizza Hut, and Papa Johns all have to compete with each other in the pizza market. KFC, Popeyes, Raising Cane's have their chicken wars. But Taco Bell? They're pretty much by themselves.

Why is fire sauce the only good sauce?

I've tried all of them, several times... even the queso and the salsa are bland.
Fire sauce and Baja Blast have to be the only reason taco bell is edible.

Chipotle is now the more “affordable” option.

All because we keep buying TB despite the insane price creep over the last 3-4 years. I’m officially tapping out, it was a pleasure while it lasted fellas. Some good things in life are only meant to last for a time.

This is how much ice was in my nearly $5 mango refresher drink. Didn't even notice until I took my 3rd and final sip and it was all gone. It probably literally had only 3 oz of actual drink in it.

Build your own CGC. Slightly cheaper, infinitely better.

I read a comment earlier today from someone suggesting to piece-meal a CGC by ordering a chicken flat bread melt + crunchy taco and just toss the chicken before slapping them together. But why waste the protein! Swap that chicken for beef and add pepper jack sauce to the taco and you get a super CGC for less than what the original costs on its own. Now, is it really worth the $4.60 price tag? Still no, but I'd rather do this to get my CGC fix, and save my Fire tier rewards for something cheap that I can custommaxx.

Is this Avocado Verde Salsa available nationwide? I haven’t seen it before, but it sure is tasty.

I hope it stays, because it’s great in the Double Steak Grilled Cheese Burrito. And the mex pizza.

Remember ghost pepper items from 2015?

Saw this on my social media today from 2015. What a great era for the bell that was!

Finally got a properly made TB taco!

Got this beauty when I was in Wales, of all places. Shell was fully intact. Lettuce not full of diarrhea inducing organisms. Meat the correct amount. I have not had a hard taco with an unbroken shell in years. The shells here in America are way more narrow so they break as soon as they try to fill them. They used to look like these. Thank you to the crew at the TB in Newport Wales for this lovely taco!

I, uh... don't think that's correct

Anyway, this is your reminder to make sure your shit works BEFORE going live.

Has anyone’s crunchwrap EVER looked like this?

Gonna miss this discovery box when it’s gone

Such a great value(in my eyes) especially the fact that they made nacho chips the default side for this box. the fact you also get 2 tacos with the grilled cheese burrito is amazing.Although I am excited for the next possible discovery box, I am for sure gonna miss this one

New Update to app is 🦮💩

Besides being counterintuitive with the GUI there are Three MAJOR issues.

  1. The app keeps trying to force undesired locations.

The 1st time I ordered it defaulted for no reason to a location I never visit that is further away. Arrived to restaurant only to realize that I ordered at wrong location entirely. [see below for second issue]

The second time I ordered, I did so FROM THE PARKING LOT of the desired location. Once again it tried forcing the order to the other location. Even after selecting the desired location, two times when going to checkout, the location switched back to the wrong location. Third time it finally stayed.

If this is a new “feature” of you guys trying to throttle business to slower locations - stop. Either way, fix it.

  1. You can no longer cancel your order for refund. Either I cannot find it, or it’s no longer available.

  2. Ingredients missing from items for customization/change.
    IE. Gordita crunch is missing the spicy ranch sauce from its base ingredients for customization- forcing it to be included and disallowing customization or removal.

Whoever proposed this “update/upgrade” and whoever beta tested it should be fired with haste.
You HAD one of the best apps. Now it’s annoying to use.

My thoughts on the tajin line up

I tried the tajin taco, the tajin CGC, and the tajin freeze.

The tajin taco was really good. The shell was fragile, like the Doritos locos taco shells. But the chili and lime flavor was pretty front and center for me which was good. Idk why chili and lime go together so well, I just love it. The salsa on top was a good refreshing way to kinda round out and balance the whole package.

The tajin CGC was good too. I didn't really taste any of the tajin on the inner hard shell itself due to, imo, the spicy ranch and the outer doughy tortilla kinda masking it. Adding some dashes of the tajin packet to each bite definitely helped that. Of course the salsa on top was good again here. But I feel like maybe if they offered a tajin soft torilla or something, that would give it more of a boost and not let the other ingredients distract away from it. Just my thoughts.

The freeze was pretty good too. Nice and sweet. I don't think I really tasted much, if any, tajin here, even after giving it some good stirs. Maybe I tasted like a tiny savory hint of it? Can't really tell tbh, but still not a bad freeze.

Over all I liked these items. But I'm already a big fan of tajin and chili lime flavors in general so that probably helped boost my opinion of it haha

Today I was blessed by the taco gods

Grande nachos, add jalapenos and pepper jack sauce(wanted another sauce and it was 30 cents, so worth it). This thing was literally as heavy as most lux/value boxes I get from there, luckily I had extra chips for all the toppings because they definitely did not have enough otherwise

Taco Bell loves to talk about 2016 but get real quiet when this fella gets brought up… why?

Taco Tuesday Should Only Be Food.

I am pretty sure we can all agree that Taco Tuesday should only be food items right? If they want to do random trash like bag charms or other random non food items just have that be a different day. The recent $1 items + $1 reward was such a good idea. Right now I am in a unfortunate money situation and I can't afford Taco Bell but swinging a couple bucks for some food every Tuesday was doable. Maybe there are people who live for the non food drops but I hope we move away from those completely. Sorry rant over.
