I was with someone once who ordered from the pizza side. It was like 5pm, and when he opened it he noticed a big sticker on it that said DO NOT SERVE AFTER 1PM. Swapped it for a Mexican pizza

My best Taco Bell memories are when one opened right down the block from my house, probably when we were in 6th-7th grade. My friends and I used to ride our bikes there and eat lunch on our limited allowances from our parents. And my friend would always say "there was a hair in my taco" after he finished eating one, to get a second one free (because we didn't have enough $$ anyways)... I think they finally caught on when he did that twice in one day.

I can't remember the last time I've actually been to TB though, for fast food Mexican I'll go to Green Cactus.

MY REVIEW

The shell tasted more like a Dorito than I imagined. Still, overall it's kind of a regular taco. I'd give it a 3.5/5. Not bad,  but not amazing

BUT

I also ordered one cheesy gordita crunch and the inside shell was a dorito! It tasted way better, and actually improved the already perfect gordita. 6/5

CONFIRMATION

My brother texted me that they gave him a Dorito shell with his gordita around midnight. The front window person said they're normally not supposed to give them away, but they've got some many it doesn't matter. I'm guessing as long as you ask late at night it'll be all good.

The Taco Bell stuff in the grocery store was on sale so I gave it a try just in case it was close to the actual goods.

It pretty much is, I couldn't really tell a difference with the tacos I made other than the beef was probably too high of quality in the taco. The refried beans don't seem right though so my burritos were off more. Didn't try anything more advanced than that yet.

Anyway, all of it was 50% off. So now I have a lot of Taco Bell seasoning and bottled sauce in my cupboard. And ate like 35 tacos over a week.

Taco Bell, often a late-night indulgence with its inexpensive fare, is going more upscale.

The chain said Wednesday it plans an early July rollout of a menu addition created by celebrity chef Lorena Garcia for its nearly 5,600 U.S. restaurants. New items feature such ingredients as black beans, cilantro rice, citrus- and herb-marinated chicken and cilantro dressing.

The introduction of items that Taco Bell executive Brian Niccol described as "gourmet Mexican," is a venture onto the turf of casual-dining chains such as Chipotle Mexican Grill and Qdoba Mexican Grill known for higher-quality ingredients.

...

Introduction of the Cantina Burrito Bowl and Cantina Burrito is part of the Irvine, Calif.-based chain's transformation as its customers increasingly look for more than a quick bite on the go, said Niccol, Taco Bell's chief marketing and innovation officer.

He credits Garcia, who will appear on Bravo's "Top Chef Masters" show this summer, as the force behind the Cantina Bell menu that the chain expects to eventually expand.

"She brought a lot of new thinking, a lot of fresh approaches to our ingredients that change the flavor profile of the brand," Niccol said.

The additions going nationwide July 5 take a bigger bite out of the wallet, but the newcomers are also bigger than the chain's regular burritos. The Cantina Burrito Bowl and Cantina Burrito, offered with chicken or steak, will sell for nearly $5 apiece. A vegetarian option will be offered, also for nearly $5.

Side dishes include chips and pico de gallo or corn salsa, chips and guacamole, or black beans and rice. Each will sell for $1.49.

While it's still possible that other things might happen in 2013, one thing is definitely happening: Cool Ranch Doritos Locos Tacos.

Speaking with CBS This Morning, um, this morning, Taco Bell CEO Greg Creed confirmed that the highly anticpated follow up to the company's uber-successful Nacho Cheese-flavored Doritos Locos Taco would be rolled out very soon.

Doritos Locos Tacos isn't just a popular menu item — it's Taco Bell's most popular menu item since the company was founded in 1962.

Over 200 million units were sold in the product's first seven months alone.

And Taco Bell doesn't plan to stop at Cool Ranch flavor neither. According to insider reports, the chain is currently testing a chile-lime flavored Flamas Doritos shell with the hopes of launching a mix-and-match variety pack in the near future.
