At least it's better than the "Meximelt"
1krazykoreanAug 4, 2010
Hey man the meximelt is so effing disgusting. Actually the only thing I like at taco bell is the mexican pizza, even though there is no such thing.
freakydingoAug 4, 2010
Yeah, their mexican pizza is the only edible thing there. But they stopped putting green onions on it. :-(
randomgorillaAug 4, 2010
I miss the green onions on it as well.
rumbeefAug 4, 2010
I remember when they put black olives on it.
smacksawAug 4, 2010
kplo, there's a difference between food trucks and stands.
Roach coaches, especially that serve Mexican food don't always have tacos al carbon, especially because with limited space, the rotisserie isn't a good idea.
There are small, hot-dog sized carts that have the rotisserie on one side and then the condiments and tortillas on the other. They aren't trucks, but some are towed as trailers.
Regardless, the point is this: real tacos al carbon and al pastor need to be rotated on a spit. Is Taco Bell going to have that? I don't think so. Thus, not only is this not food truck food, but it's not even food cart food.
raggapantsAug 4, 2010
then again it's really hard to find many taco trucks that do al pastor on the spit... at least where i live... a pity, as they're the yummiest...

I've never had a problem with Taco Bell food in all the years I've eaten it, so I don't know where that reputation comes from.
razorguyAug 4, 2010
You have built up a tolerance...like a rattlesnake handler builds tolerance by ingesting the venom, but y'know, without the actual tastiness of venom.
propethicAug 4, 2010
I'm with zool, taco bell has never caused me difficulty or discomfort. To me it seems that people love to romanticize about terrible s**ts they've had to the point where it has nothing to do with the food
drcyclopsAug 5, 2010
I have a friend like that. He gets sick from nearly everything he eats. I, on the other hand, can scrape the mold off of 6 month old sour cream and get by without so much as a concerning belch.

"...using simple, fresh ingredients, that customers regard as high quality," said Taco Bell chief marketing officer David Ovens.
in this qualified and carefully crafted statement, it appears Taco Bell management knows its customers have poor taste. or think cilantro is something special.

tehprophetAug 5, 2010
I've never gotten sick from a taco bell and I eat there a lot, me and friends have gotten sick several times from the shady mexican resturaunts, and food trucks, the food was usually much better than taco bell, but it wasn't worth having to spend the rest of the night on the toilet.

When I read this headline, I immediately thought they must have had to change some trucks b/c maybe some humorous vandals we're painting out the "ood tr" part for fun.
IllBeBackAug 4, 2010
$2.79 for 2 or $4.99 for 2 tacos and a 30 ounce drink.
So a 30 ounce drink at Taco Bell costs $2.20? That is a really expensive drink... No thanks.
IllBeBackAug 4, 2010
Looks like the combo has three tacos, not two. Makes more sense.

kamarolaAug 4, 2010
the best part is the description of the tacos use the word "fresh" 4 times, but we all know it means "packaged"
kwcarpenterAug 4, 2010
Yeah, and if you buy the three tacos together without a drink, it's MORE than with a drink.

If you buy 4 tacos it is less than if you buy -1 tacos

Who gets combo meals at taco bell. I strategically avoid the drink so I can add at least one more item.
mweatherAug 4, 2010
"Who gets combo meals at taco bell."
People who can add. Not getting a drink costs you more in this case.

Am I the only person in the world who thinks Del Taco is better? Just throwing that out there. Throw any Taco Bell taco against a Del Taco "Macho" taco and try and disagree.
jbcseeAug 4, 2010
I used to think Dell Taco was better when they still has $0.49 tacos and I was broke. Now I take Taco Bell over Dell Taco, of course a good taco truck or restaurant wins over either...
libertarianslolAug 4, 2010
Now that you have money, you feel that you can go to classier fast food restaurants, like Taco Bell.
captainnopantsAug 4, 2010
Living in NJ TBell is all we have. On a trip to Cali a few years ago I had Del Taco and realized a fast food taco doesn't have to be crap. I still like TBell though. Guess I'm a glutton for punishment

you're using too much hot sauce.
iignotusAug 4, 2010
I had one of these. The amount of filling (meat, onion, and spices combined) is literally equal to 2 tablespoons. It is a f**king ripoff for even $1.49.

I'm normally reluctant to buy food from people on the street. Just doesn't seem that sanitary to me. Not to mention the people workin them are typically pretty scary looking. Always smells good though...Comment is buried, click here to see the rest.

Crunch Wrap Supreme
aristanAug 4, 2010
These are absolutely disgusting. I had them, one of each variety. They all tasted the same, the amount of filling was tiny and all you really tasted was corn tortilla. I've had "real" tacos before. They taste of something other than corn flour.
The only parts of the Cantina Tacos I liked were A) comes wrapped in foil so they stayed warm longer. and B) I liked the lime wedge, even though it'd been tucked into the foil and was thus just as hot as the taco.
That's right, the two things I liked about the tacos were things that had nothing to do with the tacos.
But if they want to come out with a good shredded pork taco, I'm all for that. The Cantina Taco is not it though.
bluehouseAug 4, 2010

wiseoracleAug 4, 2010
I've actually tried the Cantina tacos. I like the direction of where it's going, but the execution sucks. I was not able to taste anything. They tasted plain. The ingredients looked real and fresh, but I had the steak one and I couldn't taste the meat. All I tasted was the stale tortilla.

nick027Aug 4, 2010
f**k the haters. If you need cheap food, and you aren't fond of burger joints, Taco Bell serves its purpose well. I have eaten at Taco Bell 2-3 times a week all summer, and my ass hasn't exploded yet. The quality is reasonable for the fact that you are paying a dollar for a god damn chicken burrito. If a full meal that takes you from starving to "jesus christ I can't move" in four to seven dollars, you take what you can get for quality. I've found the trick is to load up on the sauce of your choice to give the cheaper menu items some kick.
danj484Aug 4, 2010
Real taco truck tacos are cheaper, generally.
ledzep19752000Aug 5, 2010

Carne asada plz!
dncarlsonAug 4, 2010
I ordered 1 pollo, one carne asada, and one al pastor 'cantina taco' and could not for the life of me tell the difference. The tortillas were fresh enough, but it was pretty much a sub-par marinated tablespoon of meat, a sprinkle of cilantro, a couple thin strands of onion and a tiny slice of lime. For $1.50, I can get amazing cabeza street tacos that have been marinating in awesome all day. If only taco trucks were open late at night...
