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.
If you’re living life the way you’re supposed to, morning is always going to be a struggle. This is why Mountain Dew® Kickstart™ exists, to give you the energy to fight through the fatigue.
Check this out: if you make good with the Brisk® guys who run the party, they might take you to this secret dance-club thing below the tree, and all the roots are actually straws filled with free Brisk® Mango Fiesta.
Instead of a crunchy corn shell, the Soft Taco Supreme® has a soft, 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, seasoned rice, avocado ranch sauce, 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 its warm seasoned beef, nacho cheese sauce, crisp lettuce, diced tomatoes, and a crunchy tostada shell... one might say the Crunchwrap Supreme® set the rules for all Crunchwraps to follow.
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.

The manager was really helpful with being asked to! Clean overall & good food. Did forget my Creamy Jalapeño sauce on the side, which I paid $.95ish for but overall good!

Worst Taco Bell I have ever been to. I waited 25 minutes before I said anything about the fact I still didn't have any food. The manager tried to tell me dine in comes after drive through and door dash. Okay fine maybe but 25 minutes for "fast" food is absolutely ridiculous. Then a door dasher asked when his order would be ready and she told him door dash comes after drive through and done in. Also I would like to mention I didn't see one single car come through the drive through so I don't know where these cars were that were taking all the time and food. I am not a complainer and I will wait a good bit of time but that was ridiculous and instead of apologizing and fixing it she tried to get us to take a refund and go but the. we would have to find a different place and make a different order and we just wanted some food. The soda machine was not mixed right or running out because none of them didn't tasted right. It was also not the most clean place pieces of trash laying on the counter with sauces etc. The manager did not help at all. If they were as slammed as she wanted me to think the. she should have been jumping in to keep things moving. Instead I watched her try and send someone home early. Clearly they needed all the help they could get. The chips and some shells we got were stale and didn't taste right. We were given a few free taco vouchers which thanks but this was a really garbage experience and free tacos doesn't fix it.
