Cant believe i paid $5 for something I could eat in 1 bite. Ive heard crunchwraps were getting small but this is actually wild. For the size it should be $2 at most
Dear Taco Bell,
I work a minimum wage job. Sometimes a girl just wants a chicken quesadilla as a lil treat to herself, ya feel me? I don't wanna be harangued for my spare change every time I roll up to that drive thru. I'm gonna go make my own quesadillas if you don't stop bullying me for my pennies 😭
I'm moving states next week (from Texas to Virginia) so this is my last meal at my usual Taco Bell. It's only about a 5 minute drive from my job and I've been going here usually at least once a week for about a year now. I even came in Hatsune Miku cosplay back in April for Miku Expo and all the staff were really nice to me, gonna miss the place. My typical order is the nuggies fries and drink combo, whatever the fry special going on is, and a cheese quesadilla with spicy ranch. I decided to treat myself and get an extra order of nuggies this time. I did want to try the new duo habanero sauce but they said they haven't gotten it in yet, oh well.
They got rid of the loaded potato griller, I’m fucking furious. Easily the best thing on their menu.
I know they’re ‘snack size’ but you can’t spare more than 2 pieces of chicken??
Just got home to this, when closed it was nearly flat. Meat only on half. Weight like a crunchy taco. So damn pathetic.
Am vegan so couldn't get the "Duo's Usual" order, due to the DLT shell. So I asked if I could buy a sauce packet and ordered the Mini Taco Salad to try it on.
If they could get me Taco Supremes at sub $5.00 this would be legendary. It's a shame it's a limited time deal.
I thought this would come in a tortilla cup like the mini taco salad. Was this made right? It's also pretty small (mixed up, second photo with fork for an idea of how little it is). I mean it's just a slop bowl atp I don't hate it but not worth $2.99
How do we feel about these? When it intros a new product it's kinda ok but when it repackages old items it's weird. Also mainstream celebs make since but niche streamers only cater to one demographic....
So, today marks the first of my many reviews of the Philadelphia Taco Bells
I was in Center City today visiting my doctor, so i decided to check out the location at 1037 Chestnut St
My order for every store will be the same: 1x Hard Shell Taco, 1x Steak Quesadilla, & 1x Bean Burrito
I will be grading each item on a scale of 1 to 5 (5 being the best) on 3 counts: Quality if Ingredients, Preparation of the meal, & Overall Taste
Hard shell taco
This is a picture perfect hard shell taco. The shell had enough flexibility to not shatter as i bit, but wasnt soggy or stale. It had a decent amount of lettuce and cheese, and the lettuce was quite fresh. The meat was also quite juicy, but sadly not too flavorful. This is likely due to it being too juicy as some of the meat did fall out of the shell due to being too wet to hold shape and that added moisture content prevented the flavor from being concentrated.

Steak quesadilla
Simply perfect. I dont think ive ever had a steak quesadilla at a taco bell that was this good. The steak was so soft it was almost a brisket, the cheese, while not thuroughly melted, was moist and soft and could easily be mistaken for a grilled cheese. And the sauce was very strong. There was no skimping on any ingredients here. If i had any real complaint to make, it would be that the slices were not evenly spaced and i do wish all of the cheese had been 100% melted

Bean burrito
This... brought me back down to earth. This was clearly reheated. The beans were clearly dry and overcooked in some parts. Theres a lot of cheese but i cant taste ANY enchilada sauce (the best part of the taco bell burrito imo), and because the cheese flavor is so strong, i cant even make out the taste of the onion, even though i can still crunch into it

The place clearly specializes in the quality of its cheese. Theyre practically giving it away with how much of it they use. But this is for better AND worse as it results in the best quesadilla in the world and a burrito that only tastes like melted cheese.
I do recomend this location if only to try out their utterly perfect Quesadillas, but if you dont go to taco bell for the cheese (such as prefering a crunchwrap, burrito, etc), i can't really recommend this location
There is also the noted downside of location, as being in Center City means you can't access this place by car and so there is no drive through. If you have medical concerns and dont want to stand inside making your order, or you dont like public transportation, this will rank lower for thise of you.
