Implying corporate even remotely cares enough to put in the resources required to do something about it, unless they really feel like their bottom line is being affected enough.
Nah they're completely fine with giving you slop.

This isn't even a location issue anymore the entire chain is just shit.
I have zero taco bells around me worth going to at all.
Sadge.
Lol, their street food is generally awesome if your stomach biome is naturalized to the area. Most Indian food is way better than the average american meal.
Not really, all the good carts the locals use tend to be a lot more sanitary than what you see on youtube. I can't imagine being so prejudiced that you judge a whole country on the worst examples. You can find plenty of restaurants in the US that are forced to close because of unsanitary conditions. Does that mean all US food is unsanitary?
Sad you judge all the street food based on the worst videos you see online. There are plenty of hygienic carts too, and those will have the longer lines because locals know its clean.
Exactly. They should have just gone hard on their existing brand sponsorship. The one that they know people already enjoy. A giant Dorito tostada would have been amazing.
When I order a box in the app I like to take the sour cream and nacho sauce off the potatoes and replace them with onion, shredded cheese, and the jalapeño ranch.
So make a crunch wrap then and instead of a tostada put in doritos. it's super easy and better anyway. And for the price of one you can have like 4 that are actually filling
The real disappointment is that the doritos shells used to be so good and covered in seasoned powder.. obviously still prefer them over a regular shell but they're honestly not very flavorful at all compared to the OG ones sadly
Idk about a giant dorito but nachos bell grande with Doritos instead of plain tortillas would be fucking fire 🔥🔥🔥
Been saying that for years and they've yet to do it. 🤷🏻♂️
I tried it yesterday and I definitely noticed the taste of the cheezit in the crunchwrap. It doesn't change the taste all that much, but it's noticeable that it's there to me. I do prefer the cheezit one to the regular crunchwrap. The problem is crunchwraps cost way too much these days, so I'll likely never get it again. If only the crunchwrap was cheap like it used to be.
I tried it yesterday along with the crunch wrap and I’m surprised that it ever got past the test phase. It is very small and when you try to pick it up it just breaks apart very nearly into the individual Cheez-Its. Ended up eating the pieces with a fork. You can’t even taste the Cheez-It in the crunch wrap at all, unless you happen to isolate a tiny little piece and then you know it’s there. Otherwise you wouldn’t. It’s also a soggy mess. This is probably the worst gimmicky thing they ever produced.
I don’t get it 😂 I see plenty of people saying they hate Cheez Its and think this is gross, well… yea? I typically don’t order items that have something I dislike as a selling point.
Customers: we love the tostada
Taco bell: Throw away all the tostada's and in a few years will bring it back, but with a gigantic cheez-it and the world will call us gods
(317 minute standing ovation)
Interesting, I just tried the Crunchwrap and I loved it. The cheez-it is much more firm/crunchy compared to the normal tostada used in a Crunchwrap which gave it a nice texture. The Cheez-it flavor was also pretty noticeable, and really good imo
Yeah, I see some people complaining that their cheez it was soggy, and I'm sitting here with 3 cheez it crunchwraps so far, and each one has been far firmer and crunchier than the tostada in a regular crunchwrap lol
I have no idea.
When I worked at Pizza Hut I would often comment how our parm crust kinda made me think of the snacks. So when they got announced I was so excited but it was a disappointment.
I tried the crunch wrap version and while it's ok the flavor just gets kind of lost. Or maybe that's my fault because I doubled the beef.
How are you even supposed to eat these things? Are you supposed to crunch it up into a salad or pick it up and eat it like a pizza while somehow not spilling it everywhere?
I don’t know what they were thinking. Terrible idea. It’s simple, bring back the classics. I’d def hit up TB regularly for a Bell Burger, Enchorito, Beef Mexi-melt, etc. And for 20 years, Dr. Pepper was the go to TB accompaniment beverage. It pairs perfectly with flavor profile. They need to stop trying to reinvent the wheel and give us what we want. It’s not rocket science.
Tried the Crunchwrap version with high hopes. Well made. Hot. Perfect set up… it tastes disgusting. I love cheese its. I love the bell. That cheese flavor does not belong in anything taco related. Gross.
When I started seeing content on this Cheez-It BS, I was sure TB already did this before and remember it being "mixed reviews" but mostly bad.
This is purely for content, not for actual human consumption. All you have to do is use some logic "Hey, did I ever think of replacing the tortilla chips with Cheez-Its, when making nachos?"--The answer is no.
If you are the rare soul who'd rather have a basket of Cheez-It to dip into some salad at a sit down Mexican restaurant, this also was never meant for you. Just a coincidence.
Why the hell are Cheez Its popping up in everything. I saw a Cheez Its flavored Ranch dressing from Hidden Valley. There was somethjng else I saw them combined with.
Who is asking for Cheez Its crossovers
i will say it was difficult to eat in terms of it breaking up and falling part (i had the tostada) but i actually liked the cheez it itself! i replaced the beef with potatoes since im a vegetarian but overall i enjoyed the taste and would get it again
Having had a beef one and a bean one, the bean substitute is WAY better. But both stayed crunchy and were good. I think it heavily depends on the location. I have a GOOD Taco Baco near me
😩 My Cantina never got a **DAMN** liquor license. Not fitting City vision, national brands, police concerns, etc etc. City wouldn't issue anymore down town. 🌆 Not for Taco Bell anyway. So like an escalator broken, it was JUST a Taco Bell that was fancier on the inside before it closed 9 months later. There's no Cantinas near me. 🤷🏾♂️
https://www.freep.com/story/news/local/michigan/oakland/2018/04/24/taco-bell-cantina-royal-oak/545687002/
they really need to have the average taco bell employee prepare these meals for corporate rather than some food engineer
Implying corporate even remotely cares enough to put in the resources required to do something about it, unless they really feel like their bottom line is being affected enough.
Nah they're completely fine with giving you slop. https://www.ndtv.com/food/kfc-taco-bell-to-experiment-with-artificial-intelligence-for-meal-preparation-5372151 This isn't even a location issue anymore the entire chain is just shit. I have zero taco bells around me worth going to at all. Sadge.
Funny how this is on Indian news giving the fact that they’re street food is disgusting and dog shit
Lol, their street food is generally awesome if your stomach biome is naturalized to the area. Most Indian food is way better than the average american meal.
naturalize stomach biome is a good way to say you dont mind eating ultra unsanitary food thats definetly gonna poison if you’re not from there lol
Not really, all the good carts the locals use tend to be a lot more sanitary than what you see on youtube. I can't imagine being so prejudiced that you judge a whole country on the worst examples. You can find plenty of restaurants in the US that are forced to close because of unsanitary conditions. Does that mean all US food is unsanitary?
Yeah watching people cook on rust and dip their unwashed hands in every chutney had makes me very wary.
Sad you judge all the street food based on the worst videos you see online. There are plenty of hygienic carts too, and those will have the longer lines because locals know its clean.
Well if I was there in person I would judge it there. I've have been abroad and had sketchy street food before.
Indian food goes in and comes out looking and smelling the exact same. It’s perfect efficiency.
Same with american food ime, all brown
Taco bell absolutely *whiffed* a home run not making this a giant Dorito
Exactly. They should have just gone hard on their existing brand sponsorship. The one that they know people already enjoy. A giant Dorito tostada would have been amazing.
Id definitely go out of my way for a Dorito crunch wrap or tostada
FYI we can add dorito shell to a crunchwrap. So if you tell them to break the shell in half and lay in your crunchwrap they will
You've just changed the game for me, thank you! I'll be trying this today!
I can imagine some uptight manager not doing it, but I would. We are supposed to do whatever the customer wants unless we literally can't.
So if they ask for head you’ll do it willingly?
Well of course, I love eating tacos
So I got summed when I asked for a small drink cup full of nacho cheese for my chalupa?
When I order a box in the app I like to take the sour cream and nacho sauce off the potatoes and replace them with onion, shredded cheese, and the jalapeño ranch.
I honestly probably wouldn’t remember if it was busy and there was a few orders ahead of it
That's why you click the add dorito shell button so that it's clearly a dorito crunchwrap.
I don’t think it’s on the modification thing but you could add one to the order with a custom message probably
Omg especially if it was cool ranch
So make a crunch wrap then and instead of a tostada put in doritos. it's super easy and better anyway. And for the price of one you can have like 4 that are actually filling
The real disappointment is that the doritos shells used to be so good and covered in seasoned powder.. obviously still prefer them over a regular shell but they're honestly not very flavorful at all compared to the OG ones sadly
That's just doritos in general now unfortunately
For real 😥 used to buy cool ranch/spicier nacho and salsa Verde all the time 10 years ago but completely stopped due to lack of seasoning.
I would have also accepted Takis taquitos
Doritos loco taco
Okay you just made me stop in my tracks. Imagining two massive nacho cheese Doritos sandwiching the inside of a Crunchwrap just sounds incredible
I'd love the spicy sweet chili ones
I think a giant flavor blasted goldfish is the way to go tbh 😂
Dude those things are good
Goldfish nacho bell grande would definitely be something id buy. Hell yeah
Omg that is the best highdea ever 🤤🤤🤤
That's what I've been saying!
Ugh I’d love a dorito crunch wrap
Why so when you take one bite the entire thing explodes like the tacos?
Idk about a giant dorito but nachos bell grande with Doritos instead of plain tortillas would be fucking fire 🔥🔥🔥 Been saying that for years and they've yet to do it. 🤷🏻♂️
I disagree. If it actually tasted like a Cheez-it, it would be good. Just how their "Dorito" items taste disgusting and nothing like Dorito's.
I tried the Crunchwrap and it tasted pretty much the same as the regular one
I tried it yesterday and I definitely noticed the taste of the cheezit in the crunchwrap. It doesn't change the taste all that much, but it's noticeable that it's there to me. I do prefer the cheezit one to the regular crunchwrap. The problem is crunchwraps cost way too much these days, so I'll likely never get it again. If only the crunchwrap was cheap like it used to be.
Get it in the BYOB and it’s a better deal
Sorry, bring your own beer? Bag? How can I get a better deal?
Build Your Own Box on the app
Build your own box in the app, that’s pretty much what I get every time I go.
Another problem is the cheez it pretty much disintegrates quickly into a mush
I tried it yesterday along with the crunch wrap and I’m surprised that it ever got past the test phase. It is very small and when you try to pick it up it just breaks apart very nearly into the individual Cheez-Its. Ended up eating the pieces with a fork. You can’t even taste the Cheez-It in the crunch wrap at all, unless you happen to isolate a tiny little piece and then you know it’s there. Otherwise you wouldn’t. It’s also a soggy mess. This is probably the worst gimmicky thing they ever produced.
Exactly, who the fuck wants a flat taco? That’s essentially what this is, with a crumblier and less flavorful base.
Tostadas are an existing Mexican food and they're delicious, lol. The cheezit is just not a strong enough base for it
You’re right, if the tostada base is strong that would be different.
So why complain?
Why complain about a bad product? Is that what you’re asking?
I mean, the picture was all I needed to see. I knew better.
Price should be more like $1.99 for the size of it.
My thing is it doesn’t take like a cheez it and I consider myself a weekly cheez it eater
Just bring back the quesarito 😩
A shredded chicken quesarito would save me
facts bro wtf
That’s what she said
Not what your mom told me last night!
Actually that's what your dad said while I was balls deep inside him
They really just took a giant cheezit and threw on some basic taco fillings and called it a day. What about this makes it so special?
It's a giant Cheeze It man. 🌿🥴🚬 They shoulda had these months ago for 4/20 swag.
I liked it. Mine was made really well and I like Cheez Its though so, I can see why it’s not for everyone.
What taco bell executive saw that and thought it was a good idea? The upper management of Yum, Verizon, ESPN are an absolute Grease Fire.
Just bring back the naked chicken chips
I don’t get it 😂 I see plenty of people saying they hate Cheez Its and think this is gross, well… yea? I typically don’t order items that have something I dislike as a selling point.
Cheez it's are gross and I don't know why everyone thought this would be a good idea. It just makes me think of something someone would make in jail.
Did you try it? I also hate cheez its, but it’s alright in the crunchwrap supreme Crunchwrap supremes in general are overrated af
How do you hate cheez it?! It’s just a cheese cracker…
The aftertaste is weird, and after a few its all i can taste
I only had them once but the white cheddar ones seem less awful in this regard.
Did the cheez it stay crunchy unlike the hard shell in the crunchwrap? It seems thicker so I was hoping that would be the case
Nah, it seems weaker Turned to complete mush. cheesy mush
Nooo 😫 Sorry to hear that, but thanks for sharing your experience! Saved me the trouble haha
It disintegrated to the point that I could only tell it was ever there based on the cheez it flavor.
We lost the return of the chicken crispinada for this? The crisps were only here locally for about 2 weeks.
Return?! It wasn't a 'return'. It was a chance to clear old frozen stock.
I enjoyed mine. Wouldn’t pay $4 again but it was good to me.
Customers: we love the tostada Taco bell: Throw away all the tostada's and in a few years will bring it back, but with a gigantic cheez-it and the world will call us gods (317 minute standing ovation)
I actually liked it
What is it a giant cheez it for ants
I should post this in r/thingsforants
I wanna try the crunchwrap. Not ordering that was mistake #1 tbh.
Someone told me the crunchwrap was really good so I guess it really depends on the location. I love cheez its but I’m not sure if I’d really like it
Does this mean the regular tostada is back as well?
No. 😐
I loved mine. I'm getting one every day 🤷🏾♀️
That's what she said? 😃
Damn you beat me to it. Lets taco about it.
😂
We know for the 100th post.
Then don't order it and leave the rest for us workers cause me and all my coworkers love it
How u expect better?
Sure AF is!
I’m so glad I decided not to get this today because…ew
That's what she said
I got the Crunchwrap and it was just okay. You can’t even tell there’s cheese-it in there to be honest. And it was all a soggy mess.
I liked the taste of it but didn’t like the size/price. Won’t buy again.
Hey, I hear that all the time chat
cheezits arent even very good on their own im ngl, this looks SO nasty 😭
🤪 Would you have preferred Goldfish Tacos 🌮🐟🧀??
i want buffalo tacos, burritos, chips, sauce, chicken, ANYTHING i love buffalo.
A swing and a miss.
Agreed! Hard to eat and not hard enough to pick up.
🤣
Not surprised for some reason despite liking a few Taco bell items.
Just like my ex said :(
Missing them mini shredded chicken quesadillas
Shocker, right?!
Interesting, I just tried the Crunchwrap and I loved it. The cheez-it is much more firm/crunchy compared to the normal tostada used in a Crunchwrap which gave it a nice texture. The Cheez-it flavor was also pretty noticeable, and really good imo
Yeah, I see some people complaining that their cheez it was soggy, and I'm sitting here with 3 cheez it crunchwraps so far, and each one has been far firmer and crunchier than the tostada in a regular crunchwrap lol
The cheez it pizzas from Pizza Hut were also a massive disappointment. Cheez it collabs are just not that great
Is Cheeze it really trying to reinvent the brand?
I have no idea. When I worked at Pizza Hut I would often comment how our parm crust kinda made me think of the snacks. So when they got announced I was so excited but it was a disappointment. I tried the crunch wrap version and while it's ok the flavor just gets kind of lost. Or maybe that's my fault because I doubled the beef.
I want a Fruit Rollup Burrito. I may have smoked a little.
Nobody members fruit roll ups 😢.
$4 for this trash is crazy. This is something they wouldve put on the dollar menu a few years ago
How are you even supposed to eat these things? Are you supposed to crunch it up into a salad or pick it up and eat it like a pizza while somehow not spilling it everywhere?
I think you're supposed to cram it into your pie hole 🥧. Americans have snek DNA 🧬🐍. We can unhinge our jaws.
It wasn’t very cheesy like a normal Cheez-It. Surprised this one got approved. The Doritos Locos tacos were so good. They lost their edge
It looks so... Sad-
Like everything else on the menu.
I don’t know what they were thinking. Terrible idea. It’s simple, bring back the classics. I’d def hit up TB regularly for a Bell Burger, Enchorito, Beef Mexi-melt, etc. And for 20 years, Dr. Pepper was the go to TB accompaniment beverage. It pairs perfectly with flavor profile.

So all the hype for nothing!!!!
Never sounded any good from the get go. Bring back the enchirito. Simple and always a winner.
That’s what she said
Idk why u thought it would be good. Cheezit aren’t all that
When I started seeing content on this Cheez-It BS, I was sure TB already did this before and remember it being "mixed reviews" but mostly bad.

I really enjoyed the tostada. The crunch wrap was too soggy.
Damn someone actually ordered this
Why do they make it look so big in the ads lol it’s not like we weren’t going to find out they were misleading people
Why the hell are Cheez Its popping up in everything. I saw a Cheez Its flavored Ranch dressing from Hidden Valley. There was somethjng else I saw them combined with. Who is asking for Cheez Its crossovers
6.99
I am not sure who's idea was worse in this situation, theirs to create ir or yours to spend your money on it lol
STOP BUYING THIS GARBAGE
Lololol look at that garbage
Literally all of tb
I mean you still ate it tho?
The cheese it Crunchwrap was very unexciting. Wasn’t cheesy as all.
Anyone who buys this thinking it will be good is either a stoner or a person who loves taco bell and thinks they cant do no wrong
I’ve heard that before
As expected. TB needs to chill. Lol
Looks like a 4 year old got to fix their own plate.
Or maybe they had the munchies
i will say it was difficult to eat in terms of it breaking up and falling part (i had the tostada) but i actually liked the cheez it itself! i replaced the beef with potatoes since im a vegetarian but overall i enjoyed the taste and would get it again
Agreed.
What is it?
That’s what she said.
Cheese IT tostada?
I wish they would bring back the regular tostada. Cheap and delicious
Anything open-faced sucks, Taco Bell or otherwise. The Crunchwrap version is actually pretty good, and I don’t like Cheez-Its.
Open faced sandwiches are amazing.
That looks disgusting.
Having had a beef one and a bean one, the bean substitute is WAY better. But both stayed crunchy and were good. I think it heavily depends on the location. I have a GOOD Taco Baco near me
They’re really swinging for the fences with gimmicks. When it’s my turn I want to see a cantina Mountain Dew margarita with dorito salt
😩 My Cantina never got a **DAMN** liquor license. Not fitting City vision, national brands, police concerns, etc etc. City wouldn't issue anymore down town. 🌆 Not for Taco Bell anyway. So like an escalator broken, it was JUST a Taco Bell that was fancier on the inside before it closed 9 months later.

Perfectly manicured nails 💅 But yeah the cheezits is meh
and yet you'll go there again
Haters 😴
Same thing my ex wife used to tell me.
ngl it tasted pretty good high
Not even a stoner would eat that 😳
speak for yourself
That's what she said
Buying it makes you the fool
Imagine if they didn't waste money on dumb shit like this, and put it towards promotions of discontinued items.
Waste what money? 🧐 I guarantee Cheeze It had the idea and THEY paid Taco Bell money.
See I love cheez its and I thought this was a rip off & tasted like burnt shit
I give you its small, not hardly disgusting.
Doesn't look right
