So there’s cheesy, and then there’s cheesy. But how can you get to the good kind of cheesy? Like cheesy cheesy. Simple, take the Cheesy Bean and Rice Burrito for example. With a perfect combination of warm Nacho Cheese Sauce, refried beans and premium Latin rice all wrapped in a soft flour tortilla, it’s the kind of cheesy you definitely want.
If you’re one of those kids who has a thing for hot potatoes, why don’t you just try the Spicy Potato Soft Taco instead. It’s got warm and seasoned potato bites, melted real cheddar cheese, crisp lettuce, and chipotle sauce for a little extra kick.
Crispy chips, nacho cheese sauce, refried beans, and red sauce; you know that whomever you’re with is going to want “just one.” Before you know it, there’s one chip left: the chip at the bottom of the pile, with only a corner covered in cheese and a tiny pinto bean. So get a second Triple Layer Nachos for you and your friends.
We could all learn a little something from Spicy Tostada. Most meals try to keep everything hidden behind a thin layer of tortilla or corn shell. Spicy Tostada, on the other hand, has no insecurity about sharing its true inner self. It doesn’t care if you see its refried beans, real cheddar cheese, and lettuce. It doesn’t mind if you think its red sauce is maybe too red, or not red enough. Or if its chipotle sauce may be a little hard to pronounce.
A warm and melty quesadilla wrapped around seasoned beef, seasoned rice, cheese, nacho cheese sauce, reduced-fat sour cream and chipotle sauce grilled to perfection.
A warm soft flatbread layered with a three-cheese blend and warm nacho cheese sauce wrapped around a crunchy taco shell filled with seasoned beef, shredded cheese, shredded lettuce and spicy ranch sauce.
A soft flour tortilla filled with grilled, marinated all-white-meat chicken, a melty blend of three cheeses and creamy jalapeno sauce grilled to perfection.
Your choice of marinated and grilled chicken or steak served with guacamole, pico de gallo, black beans, crisp lettuce, seasoned rice and reduced-fat sour cream all packed into a seriously powerful bowl.

Some people may say that it’s a taco. Some might say it’s more like a quesadilla. Some, a Gordita. It may have the best of each of those delicious things, but the truth is, it’s not like any of them. The Doritos® Cheesy Gordita Crunch is completely unique and special, just like you.
Instead of a tough corn shell, the Soft Taco Supreme® has a warm, flour tortilla. It’s so soft, it exclusively listens to Toronto hip-hop. Dreamy. Soft. Delicious.
A warm flour tortilla filled with tender shredded chicken, Latin rice, avocado ranch dressing, and real cheddar cheese? In terms of wrapped meals, the Shredded Chicken Burrito is perfect.
Your choice of marinated and grilled chicken or steak served with guacamole, pico de gallo, black beans, crisp lettuce, seasoned rice and reduced-fat sour cream all packed into a seriously powerful bowl.
With seasoned beef, nacho cheese sauce, lettuce, tomatoes, and a crunchy tostada shell for extra loud chewability, this is the Crunchwrap that made all the Crunchwrap rules.

I asked for a 2 piece tender, as stated on the menu. Said they only offered a 4 piece. So I paid the extra $3 just to get chicken that is inedible. No one answers the store phone

I rolled in from Texas, stopped by for quick meal. I went in and ordered from the kiosks bc no one greet, sign!!! So I placed an order and it took a long time no-one was ahead or behind me and 1 car at the drive through. I waited and waited, while waiting I saw one of the male worker went to the black van parked facing the establishment to smoke weed it was obvious bc you can smell on him when he came back in. Than another woman went out a couple of minutes later. You can see her does the same thing came right back, all happening with 5 to 7 minutes. That's not good for the TB. I will not ever stop by again.

If I could give negative stars it would be at least negative 10. I used Kiosk 2 at the Merle Hay location to place my order at around 12:30pm on Tuesday August 4. After waiting for around 45 minutes and watching someone who ordered well after I did get there food. I decided to ask about my order and was told that they did not have an order or someone else took it. Requested my money back and was they don't see an order. Told them that's funny cause I have a receipt that says otherwise. Told them to give me a money back as I didn't have time to wait any longer as I had already waited for over 45 minutes. Got every excuse under the sun for them to drag their feet about getting me my money back. Staff here is rude and inconsiderate as well. 10 out of 10 people don't recommend going to the Merle Hay location. If you have no plans of getting in & out quickly you'll be fine.
