Has /ck/ tried the taco bell cantina menu? Review brah said it was their best release in years

[Anonymous No.20408753]

I tried the chicken cantina bowl, and it was honestly the worst item I've ever had from taco bell

[Anonymous No.20408829]

>>20408745
I got the free taco so I knew not to bother with the rest of the menu

[Anonymous No.20408834]

One soft taco, no lettuce, add sour cream
One order of chips and cheese
One large baja blast

This has been my Taco Bell order for decades.

[Anonymous No.20408847]

>>20408834
To think, that used to cost $2

Tried the taco. It was underwhelming. The sauce was good but I wouldn't pay for it again.

I fucking will NEVER order ANYTHING off this fucking MENU because of all the OBNOXIOUS ad spots they've paid for and aggressively shoved into my face.

Where do y'all niggas live that you don't have a taco truck or taqueria around? If I want shredded chicken tacos I'm going to a taco truck. Taco Bell is for dogfood quality meat and orange nacho cheese. And Baja Blast. I'm not shitting on them I probably get a crunch wrap meal once a month. But I would never pay extra for "quality ingredients" at Taco Bell when there's 5 different taco trucks within 5 miles of me.

Based schizo, top notch noticing. But you must still kneel before our power.

I think I got a $10 cantina variety box. The taco shell would've been great if it weren't broken and soggy on 1 entire side.

The salsa verde has an overbearing cilantro flavor to it. My chalupa was oddly stale on one side. The burrito with pico was alright I guess. But if I'm going to spend $11-15 on cantina food, I'm not going to taco bell for it again. I'd rather go to a local tex mex or brave a taqueria for the same price.

[Anonymous No.20408878]

Is it true? Did Taco Bell really get rid of the breakfast salsa?

[Anonymous No.20408885]

>>20408870
I had the same experience, the taco was maybe the greasiest, oiliest fast food item I’ve ever ordered. It’s criminal they’re charging $3 for it standalone. Taco Bell prices are now on par with carryout from local Mexican places but the portion sizes are much smaller and the quality is obviously worse.

[Anonymous No.20408921]

Man, it feels like fast food corporate actually comes up with a decent menu idea and has $200k+ per year chefs thinking up shit fast food workers could probably reasonably replicate. But every time it hits the real world of useless employees and low standards its clear corporate either doesn't know its crap outside of corporate kitchens, or don't care.

Not just TB on this, most fast food restaurants fuck up the majority of their limited time offers, as well as the core menu items at that rate.

Yes. Now they avocado sauce but it's $0.20 per packet.

I had the taco, it was fine. The new avocado salsa verde sauce is surprisingly good but it's an unnaturally bright green that I found a little off-putting.

[Anonymous No.20408986]

>>20408848
Interesting. They messed up my take out order and had to remake it. When I got the correct order they guy at the counter mumbled something about soft tacos, I just smiled and took the food. He had added 2 cantina chicken soft tacos and a half dozen of the avocado verde packets. I thought the soft tacos were great, good flavor, good texture with the cabbage. That avocado sauce is not good.

[Anonymous No.20408988]

>>20408745
the soft taco is really good. crispy taco is fucking shit, burritos are penny-pinching bean slop, and I don’t think the quesadilla is different enough to warrant buying it. the avacado verde sauce is good

Taco Bell is for when I’m hungry at 11 pm and busy doing something fun. I can make my own fucking tacos instead of paying $5 each from a damn truck

[Anonymous No.20409026]

>>20408745
hell fucking no
I boycotted that shit restaurant weeks ago
and since then I found a sit down place that has $1.25 taco tuesday specials, today I got 2 soft tacos, one ground beef and one shredded chicken, and one hard taco ground beef

I sometimes use a taco bell because it's 2 minutes from where I live. There's a proper burrito place on the left and a gyro place on the right. So I only ever have it if I get off work at midnight or something

Interesting
I wonder if we could pay employees directly for food like that, say $1 for a $3 item, and they pocket the cash directly?

[Anonymous No.20410786]

if I'm going to Taco Smell it's going to be to debase myself with some dog food topped with cheese and wrapped in a flour tortilla and it better be less than $2

[Anonymous No.20410836]

this is the only order that makes sense at TB right now
~1400 calories for ~10 bucks(depending on location)
and all three items are reliably well made where I am

taco bell is its own 'flavor' or whatever you want to call it and occupies a unique place that cannot be substituted with whatever you are yelling about
if you don't like it, fine, but obviously some people do enjoy the salt laden slop that they serve and shitting your pants about how it isn't your preference only proves your own ineptitude

I forget which variation of tortilla/cheese/rice/beans I got, but the cantina chicken was honestly really good. Didn't use the green salsa though

nta but the authentic McDonalds and Taco Bell experience these days is paying $15-20 for food that is slop-tier.

sounds like a bad excuse to keep keep telling yourself "these prices are justified"
BTW their not

it's nearly 12 dollars

[Anonymous No.20412748]

What. Why would they do that. It was the only salsa they had that actually worked with their breakfast items.

[Anonymous No.20412756]

Reviewbrah needs to reinvent himself.
Would be cool if he gave up the slop and opened a little restaurant somewhere.

[Anonymous No.20412890]

>>20412748
because they forgot that they grew to 8000 locations selling half decent food for very reasonable prices. they could go back at any time but instead they will keep trying to re invent themselves and squeeze margins until all thats left are overpriced taco kits at the super market

Taco Bell does the weirdest shit now. I stopped by a few days ago and couldn't find the cravings box on the combo menu where it usually is. Being Taco Bell, there was no one at the counter but eventually I got someone's attention and asked about the cravings box. She said it was now an app exclusive and there's no way to order it in the store, I'd have to get the app on my phone if I wanted to order it. I thought it must be due to some kind of discount promotion but she said the price now was $1 more than before and comes with one less item.
I don't get what Taco Bell thinks it is gaining by making it difficult to buy food from them. I'm not the type of person who takes their phone with them everywhere so I couldn't have used the app even if I wanted to. I sort of understand them offering special deals through the app but making menu items app exclusives is crazy.

Thats only some stores btw. Theres one TB 2 miles from me, and another about 8 miles away. One had the boxes clearly on the menu. The other had an identical situation as your post where the dude said it was app-order-only. I think they stopped that because so many people refused to download an app to order a $8 box of food. The manager sighed and made something else work that was really similar to the other box with a managers discount. I think that was a corporate store and the other one with boxes was a franchise store.

Right there with you, I'm not going to download an app to order some secret menu bullshit once a month. But corporate KNOWS getting people to download the app always leads to more sales. Not necessarily higher profit sales, or higher overall ticket sales, just more in general. Its why every fucking place has an app to order ahead despite saving zero time or money.

Which brings up the other weird trend of chains no longer seeing value in having a consistent experience across their locations. As you pointed out, even in locations near each other can vary greatly by price and offerings. Might as well roll the dice with a local Mexican place if TB is going to be inconsistent.
