      The CCB is a franchisee optional item, they vary wildly in availability as a result.

      For example, they’ve been available in every Colorado location I’ve been to

            Wow only three in California. Never had one I don’t think.

            I do miss the encharito. Which went away and came back and went away and came back again. Every time it comes back it is shittier than it was before :( But I miss it. Is there a map of where those are available?

              No chillitos in all of New England either, gotta go to NYC for the closest, then Ohio or NC.

              I was in Cadillac MI last summer, regrettably ate at a Taco Bell, and didn’t even know I could have gotten one! It was the first run to the border I’d made in years too!

              Sat up all night in a wind storm with cramps afterwards. 0/10

    An actual crunchwrap has never looked like that.

    They need to remake “falling down” for millenials, but it’s at taco bell. Or maybe they don’t, I don’t know…

      1am, taco bell is open. Guy orders a crunch wrap meal, and they have no problem making it. It’s exactly the same as it’s always been and the guy is happy. Cashier rings him up and it’s $20. He snaps.

    There are certain restaurants that everyone says are absolute trash, and yet they stay open.

    My wife and I call them Shitty Tacos, and sometimes we say things like “would you like some Shitty Tacos tonight?”. The answer is often “yes”. Especially if we can’t decide on anything else.

    The only thing I have been getting at Taco Bell since the discontinuation of the grilled stuft burrito is a steak power bowl. It’s just a bowl of all the ingredients they have, sans a tortilla-based wrapping or shell. I then get some fresh made tortilla chips from a Mexican grocery store nearby and eat it like a taco salad.

      Taco Bell is my depression meter. Not a joke. 1x or less a month, I’m ok, 2x/month, prolly fine, just hungry. If I get to 1- 2x per week I tell my friends in hopes they can help me.

        Prices are nuts though. I’m on the road a lot so I still get it especially if I roll into town extra late. But 20 years ago I could get a grilled stuffed burrito for like $2.50 and that was a whole meal. Maybe even the only thing I ate all day back in those poverty days. Now I spend at least 20 bucks for the same amount of food. And I could go to a nice Mexican American sit down place and get the same amount of much better food for about $15.

          Fast food places in general have gouged consumers for multiple times the rate of inflation the last few years. Taco Bell has beaten everyone else by a fair amount in being evil though :(

      The power bowl is nice combined with other stuff. During Hatch chili season, I roasted up some Hatch chilies and removed the skin, stem, and seeds. Chop one or two up and stick them in the bowl. Combine with a heated tortilla.

    Idk, the cantina menu is actually pretty good, especially the soft taco.

    Everything else is garbage tho. But it’s garbage I crave

    I KNOW it’s not good, I KNOW my shtummy will hurt after, but I don’t remember ever trying taco bell in my life and I am so insanely curious about it. There are none nearby where I live and I don’t drive. It’s been ages that I’ve had this burning curiosity. I already decided that once I get to go I will be ordering a crunchwrap (idk the menu but this is the item I hear the most people talk about).

      I can’t believe this. Are you Amish? Someone needs to make a documentary of taking you on a trip to Taco Bell. I would watch that. Hell Taco Bell would probably fund it for promotional purposes.

      It would be like this generations Supersize Me. They could call it Grande Size Me.

      The crunch wrap is for taco bell fans who got tired of their tacos, don’t start there!

      Get a soft shell, hard shell, and a crunch wrap and eat them in that order. You also have to get a mountain dew Baja blast as thats taco bells own flavor.

          If you are pretty hungry thats all doable for sure! For like an average size meal I’d do one crunchwrap or three tacos.

          They let you add on pretty much whatever too so I just pick the cheapest tacos and burritos and make them supreme myself. I get a bean and rice burrito, fresco (replaces dairy and meat with pico de gallo), add fries/potatoes inside, add jalapeños, and lettuce. Comes up to like 3.50 or 4.00 for it.

          All the other fast food places prices around me make taco bell look like a fantastic deal, I’ll say that.

        The Veggie Craving menu is the only reason I buy Taco Bell. I don’t know of any other fast food with a menu like that.

          Subway’s veggie patties are really good, but not every location has them. They’re really good because they don’t even try to make them taste like meat. I’m not sure if any of their breads are vegan though.

          And many items can be customized to be vegan or vegetarian with some simple substitutions or exclusions. The only problem is when the kitchen makes a mistake. Not a calamity for someone who is just trying to get a lot less meat in their diet, but a reason to be pissed when a vegan wanders into a region of reduced fat sour cream.

    The spicy potato tacos are my sleeper taco bell hit.

    I did recently have the Baja blast gelato and it was super disappointing - basically a diluted slushie that’s frozen, no gelato/sorbet texture at all.

    I don’t know why people feel the need to brag about how they don’t eat popular chain food, or about how it’s bad for you.

    Posting on social media isn’t good for you, but you’d be the first person screaming “b-but the Fediverse and Linux reeee!” if someone were to call you out on it.

    Let people enjoy what they want to enjoy.

        I’ve been trying to figure out the recipe so I can put it on everything.

        Edit: I say “been trying” but in reality I only made one batch of an okay attempt at a copycat recipe. Haven’t gotten around to trying again yet.
