We have six ingredients. This is some of those.

Basically what I was gonna say.

"What is it?"

"We remixed one of our things with the sauce from a different thing"

"I'll take 3"

Pretty much my thoughts exactly. Damn do I love it, their veggie stuff is tasty.

Look for you know you're vegetarian even with the "beef" tacos, it might be flavored wood pulp haha.

"... but on a Dorito shell."

I can’t tell if Taco Bell has the best grass roots advertising campaign of the fediverse or if everyone just really loves Taco Bell

I don't care for it, personally, and never have.

I cared for it when I could get a filling lunch there for $2.50. That was in 1990.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago

I had it for the first time around '90 in a financially struggling family and, while it was something of a treat, I never wanted to go back. To me then, I think it was just weird in terms of flavor (to me at the time), so maybe I was just off to a bad start. Today, I love in Japan and grow my own ingredients to make the tex-mex (and sometimes more traditionally Mexican) food I would later grow to love

Dude I swear, Taco Bell is either having some really good marketing lately, or people are just naturally talking about them for some reason. Hell, a YouTuber I normally watch reviewed a new food item on their menu out of the blue, and he normally does gaming content. I'm like 95% sure it was an ad.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 days ago

It's the future now. All restaurants are Taco Bell.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 days ago (2 children)

I've traveled around the country, and I can say that unless you live somewhere with a decent Hispanic population, Taco Bell is likely the best Mexican food you can get in a lot of places.

California, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona: Taco Bell ain't shit. We all can get the real good shit.

No, I don’t eat Taco Bell to satisfy a Mexican-food craving; I eat it to satisfy a Taco Bell craving. I don’t consider it Mexican food, but that doesn’t mean I enjoy it any less.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Good point. Within the US I’ve only lived in places with lots of good Mexican food so I guess my experience is skewed

People really love taco bell. It's cheap, accessible and is injected with addictive sugar and fats. Their phone app is a privacy nightmare, food is low grade, but people love it so much that they learn what time food gets thrown out to get higher quality. Its practically a cult/religion. One of my friends is a fanboy and orders everything vegi + meat because it's cheaper than the normal meat versions.

I can't speak for everyone else, but personally, I could eat TB everyday for the rest of my life and never be sick of it. Contrast with other fast food, I've only been able to manage McD a couple times in a row before I'm done with it lol

I used to love it as a teen. But now as an adult, I don't really care for it much anymore...like it's ok but it's like maybe my 5th pick. I moved to within walking distance of two fast food joints...one of them being Taco Bell. I frequent the other fast food joint all the time (don't feel like saying which at the risk of being accused of being a corporate shill), but rarely ever go to the Taco Bell. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy it from time to time, but it seems like all the menu items are literally just meat, cheese, and tortilla. And then they get your order wrong 90% of the time even when you only order like 2 things.

With a lot (but obviously not all) other fast food establishments, it either feels like there is more variety or I can actually get something like a vegetable with my stuff. The other fast food joint near me makes a decent salad which is one of the reasons I like to go there instead.

So idk.

OK but are the new nuggets good tho? I've been tempted to try them.

[–] Astronauticaldb 3 points 4 days ago

I've had them a few times now, and they're pretty decent for what they are. I can't tell what breading they're using exactly, but I'm fairly certain it's tortilla shell pieces. The sauces are also surprisingly good fwiw.

Is it the return of the chilito? No? Then get the fuck out of my house!
