Title: Taco Bell Says It's Working On A New 'Low-End' Menu

Taco Bell is working on a new, low-end menu, chief marketing officer Brian Niccol said.

Niccol made the announcement on a conference call, according to a report by Bloomberg News.

Taco Bell is already known for offering cheap Mexican food. The extensive value menu offers items for 79, 89, and 99 cents.

The new, $1 menu is being tested in Sacramento and Kansas City. It might replace the current "Why Pay More" menu, according to Bloomberg.

The company also tried to get into higher-end food last year, releasing Cantina bowls with premium ingredients like steak and guacamole.

The Cantina release was seen as an attempt to compete with Chipotle, though the two restaurants serve very different demographics.


this article is crazy polite to taco bell.

My dream come true. :bow2

Actually, if they brought back the 99c Chicken Flatbread, that would legitimately be awesome.

how much lower can you get? you can get a burrito, chips and a drink for freaking $2.50 as it stands.

I wished they brought back the original Grilled Stuft Burrito.  The XL version is shit.

This is probably an attempt to remake their low end menu to be more expensive.

I kinda want Taco Bell right now but I haven't had red meat in like 6 years.  I should go Bell up and take a picture of whatever the fuck my toilet looks like later tonight.  Or just record audio of the trials I will go through.

Any of you bros ever been during happy hour? All three loaded grillers for a $1 each? Insane. I've got one right on my way home from work, which I get off at 4:30 just in time for happy hour to still be happening. Definitely gonna stop by this week.
