Yeah I don't get why they removed their best burrito and never brought it back. I wouldn't care if the grilled stuffed burrito was all they served, I'd buy it every day. Though they'd probably charge $10+ for it these days.
I'm from Indianapolis and there's literally a taco truck on every corner. I'm not sure what draws so many Hispanic people here, but yeah. Tacos everywhere.
This is nothing compared to the original Frito burrito. This inferior version came in the era where Taco Bell filled everything halfway with rice to cut down on using ingredients that actually taste good, but cost more.
If we're bringing stuff back at Taco Bell I'd like them to carry pico de gallo again please. I'd love to order some of those extremely overpriced little meximelts again.
Yes, and the Grilled Cheese Burrito is the same thing but the chips are now called "fiesta strips" and they cover the outside in shredded cheese and put it in the quesadilla press. It's better.
The BCB is underwhelming, especially at the price they were last time they were released. There are much better Taco Bell items that deserve a comeback such as the Triple Steak Stack.
Biden dropped out of the race and Kamala announced her bid for DNC nominee as presidential candidate, which is seeming to be very likely. The meme is pointing out how that since she's turned into a potential candidate, a lot of positive news about her background has come up. The joke is playing into this narrative. It's saying that on top of all the real policy she's interested in making, she's also going to mandate the corporation Taco Bell to provide a popular menu item that has been removed.
Do some of you just not have authentic Mexican restaurants near you!? I just cannot imagine going to Taco Bell for much, much worse food.
Even if you're in a hurry! There's a place near me that will make me a handheld burrito from scratch with green chile and my choice of protein in 5 minutes dirt-cheap...
I go to Taco Bell for Taco Bell, not for Mexican food, it has a unique taste that's fairly decent for chain Fast Food.
I don't think I've ever known anyone to unironically refer to TB as Mexican food either. It's always been its own answer to the question "What do you feel like eating?"
That's fair that people consider it its own thing. But even Taco Bell advertises itself as Mexican food! "South of the Border", "Mexican Pizza", etc...
Sure they advertise it that way, but no one really believes it anymore. They've been doing that since they opened in the 60s, when Mexican food wasn't nearly as ubiquitous as it is now. They just keep on keeping on and no one really cares. At least the food is based on Mexican fare.
But eating at TB is not about "authentic". It's about taste. And price to some small extent. The TB near me (South L.A. area) has 3 Mexican spots within a block, as well as a Salvadorean place across the street. There's two street vendors who sell next to the TB on alternating nights. With all that, the TB is still busy with Latinos. Some people just like it.
I can see that. When I was real little (late 70s/early 80s), the only way you were getting traditional Mexican food was either from a Mexican friend/family or at a restaurant and those were typically owned/run by Mexicans. If someone lived in a city with few to no Mexicans, it was unlikely to have a restaurant so I think people missed out in many places until Taco Bell got there.
Side note - west coast road trips when I was a kid usually consisted of diners and other American food restaurants. Very little variety at all. Once we left L.A./SoCal, Mexican and Asian food basically disappeared.
Taco Bell is its own nostalgic flavor. It’s comfort food and like a lot of comfort food it isn’t amazing, but it is very familiar and accessible. Also there is a wide variance in quality of local burrito shops. Some are amazing and others are underwhelming. Taco Bell is consistent and predictable from one side of the country to the other. What it lacks in soul it makes up in consistency which is nice when you are exhausted and not in the mood to be surprised. When I want good, fresh food with lots of cilantro and peppers I go for the local shops though. Taco Bell factory packets can’t compare to a nice fresh batch of salsa.
She brings back the 7layer and I'm canvasing.
Volcano tacos, but yeah, same.
Was a XXL grilled stuft burrito stan myself, but still on board
The grilled cheese burrito just isn't the same!
Anything with lava sauce, hnnng
You fuckin noobs don’t even remember the encharito.
Back in the day, no matter my mood, my order always ended with “and a 7-layer burrito.”
Bring back the Quesarito! I have to order on the app with a highly customized 5 layer burrito now. It was a staple of my diet!
Never forget, never forgive
I heard that she is promising to personally kick your asshole boss in the dick. If you like your current boss, it's transferrable to your old boss.
But I liked my old boss too.
Gimme the XXL grilled stuft burrito and you got yerself a deal!!
Yeah I don't get why they removed their best burrito and never brought it back. I wouldn't care if the grilled stuffed burrito was all they served, I'd buy it every day. Though they'd probably charge $10+ for it these days.
A taco truck on every corner? Please?
I'm from Indianapolis and there's literally a taco truck on every corner. I'm not sure what draws so many Hispanic people here, but yeah. Tacos everywhere.
I was up in Indiana for training at one point and the base had a better taco truck than we did back in Arizona!
I think you mean the XXL grilled stuft burrito!
Is this an Idiocracy joke?
Whatever gets people to vote
Hey that’s pretty good, you sure you’re not the smartest guy in the world?
Carls Jr. thinks you're a terrible mother!
Finally, the Unifier we've been waiting for.
Beefy Crunch Burrito 2024
What the hell is that burrito
its actually one of the more popular limited time only options from taco bell. its essentially a beef and cheese burrito with added firey fritos
Burrito is a generous term in the same way that just because it's called a footlong doesn't mean it needs to be a foot long.
Removing the Mexican pizza from the menu is something I will never forgive them for.
Idk if you're just holding a very big grudge or if you've been living under a rock but they brought it back a few years ago
The rock I live under is called Canada.
No pizza.
https://www.tacobell.ca/en/menu#section_id=
And while I'm at it. Where my meximelts go?
Well, it's harder to ship Mexican pizzas to Canada, they don't travel well.
The last panel should be the caramel apple empanada
Or the grilled stuffed burrito.
This is nothing compared to the original Frito burrito. This inferior version came in the era where Taco Bell filled everything halfway with rice to cut down on using ingredients that actually taste good, but cost more.
There was a Frito burrito? Man, I miss everything! Missed opportunity if they didn't have some variation called a Frito Bandito burrito.
who is bringing bring back the Chaco taco?!
or that chicken mcnugget seshwan dipping sauce its (burrrrrrps) delicious.
But not the Double Decker?
Bring back actually cinnamon cinnamon twists because whatever they are selling are air crisps with 1% the cinnamon they used to have
Apple empamada or I vote orange 😤
I believe she could do it, but by the time she gets there it'll be a $7.99 item.
VOLCANO TACO
Praise volcano menu
Seriously. Trump or Taco. Your move DNC....
I'm not sure if this is a meme for or against Harris...
Yes
Promise (and deliver) the McRib and you'll win in a landslide. You'll rule for a thousand years.
Nacho Crunch Grilled Stuft Burrito!!!
Shredded chicken burrito or no deal.
Nothing better than a meal deal A.
Enchirito or I'm voting Trump
If we're bringing stuff back at Taco Bell I'd like them to carry pico de gallo again please. I'd love to order some of those extremely overpriced little meximelts again.
You don’t have pico de gallo in your Taco Bell? Come to Texas, we still have it. Only downside is… Texas.
No, pico de gallo hasn't been available for years here. You guys are so lucky! Do they still have meximelts on the menu?
Make the Wendy's mushroom melt a permanent menu item
God I wish...
Did they just put Fritos inside the burrito?
Yes, and the Grilled Cheese Burrito is the same thing but the chips are now called "fiesta strips" and they cover the outside in shredded cheese and put it in the quesadilla press. It's better.
The BCB is underwhelming, especially at the price they were last time they were released. There are much better Taco Bell items that deserve a comeback such as the Triple Steak Stack.
I want the Enchirito back.
What the fuck is this?
Did you just fall out of a tree?
Let's say I did. What the fuck is this?

I've read that Taco Bell was largely responsible for popularizing Mexican food back when it was seen as exotic.
I can see that. When I was real little (late 70s/early 80s), the only way you were getting traditional Mexican food was either from a Mexican friend/family or at a restaurant and those were typically owned/run by Mexicans. If someone lived in a city with few to no Mexicans, it was unlikely to have a restaurant so I think people missed out in many places until Taco Bell got there.

We know it's not really Mexican food, but a lot of stuff at Taco Bell does taste good. We love authentic Mexican food too, of course.
Ah, got it. And if tacosplease isn't the authority on this, who can I trust!?

Then suffer.
Also no.
