I'm not speaking of the Dums. They couldn't possibly. This is about Taco Bell. It's not what it used to be. Can anyone argue that? And I continue to crave the memory of what it was only to be left $4.08 poorer with the itch unscratched. What is it? The beans are runnier. The hot sauce is more bland (that feels like an oxymoron. How can it be more less flavorful? I'm sorry. I'm upset). They don't even fold the burritos the same way. Did this happen while I was out of the country? Someone talk me down.
Love,
Kristen
PS TB, I don't even care what percent beef is in your beef. I would never sue you. I didn't say a word when you introduced the Fire hot sauce flavor. Why are you doing this to me? I just want it to be the way it used to be. I still love you.
Dum,
ReplyDeleteDon't feel discouraged. There are couple of items that still work. The new Nacho Cheese Doritos Taco isn't half bad. What I find, is that there will be one out of maybe five taco bell stores that still "got it". You just have to sample each one until you find it. Do you happen to have Del Tacos out there? As Del Taco really picked up where Taco Bell left off. The green bean and cheese burrito at Del Taco is to die for. As are their Spicy Jack Quesadillas. If you have to stay with TB, just stick with the bean and cheese burritos. It helps if you add onion and ask for a little extra cheese. And don't use Fire...just the regular hot.

So tacos are 3 for a dollar on Taco Tuesdays. What exactly do you put in something that costs $0.33??

I'm going to side with Kristen on this one, but only sort of and for a completely different reason. I personally love all things TB - whoever came up with the beefy potato burrito and/or the fiesta potatoes (yes, I'm a starch-aholic) is the unsung hero of my world. My beef (sorry, bad pun) with TB is that the last time I took my kids there, we only got ONE spork, and we had FOUR spork-able side items. I know you're gasping in horror at this unpardonable offense, but it gets better/worse. In the process of backing up in the parking lot so that my son could run in and get us some more sporks (I just like saying spork), I backed into a light pole and crunched the back bumper of my still-almost-new car. I'd boycott TB entirely, but honestly, who am I kidding? I'd eat cheesy potatoes with my fingers AND lick the styrofoam bowl clean every day if I it wouldn't make my ass the size of Mexico. They're going to have to work a LOT harder to lose me as a customer!
ReplyDeleteNancy I am traumatized by your story and also inspired. Don't get me wrong, I will NEVER give up on The Bell. I think Katie might be right (at least that is what I keep telling myself) that it's more to do with the individual Bell. Not an overall decline. Unfortunately I only have the one and it is quite a hike.
