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.

I am so, so, SO tired of the Athens Taco Bell. I work second shift late nights. This Is my only option to get food half the time. I feel like I’m in an abusive relationship with this place. I actually briefly worked there three years ago and it has not gotten any better. On several occasions now, I have been forced to wait in the drive-through for upwards of three hours. Other times I have DoorDashd around 1 AM and got my food cold as fuck around 6:00 in the morning, And those are the occasions where it actually gets delivered. today I placed an online order at 1 AM, showed up, It said my pick up time was 2:00, which is already insane but okay. We left and came back and they still said they had 6 pages of online orders And mine was dead last. We again waited for another 30 minutes for them to finish the order my friend had gotten in the drive-through, And they still did not have mine done, even though we had mentioned it. We reminded them we were also waiting for a pick up, And again, we waited another 40 minutes just for them to try to hand us out the wrong order and then basically tell us yeah we don’t know where your order is sorry, and we had to leave. I understand being understaffed. I understand working late nights. I understand constant Online orders. I literally do it every single week. But this is on another level. If you cannot keep a consistent staff whatsoever CLOSE. Something needs to be done with this place because this is just not sustainable. Everybody needs to stop giving them money

Incredibly and unreasonably long drive thru lines. Waiting 45 minutes for 5 cars to get through the drive thru? Fr?

Paid almost $10 for this, got home, went back for a refund. 1 hr gone. Now I understand the cashier’s look when given the food. What fun to play with the customers! That is a Crunchwrap Supreme disappointment! And the Flatbread was so smashed and sad looking. Very expensive poor-quality food.

I ordered a online pickup order through the Taco Bell app. I ordered a crunch wrap supreme, cheesy bean and rice burrito, chips and cheese, and a Baja blast. When I say it was the most disgusting serving of food I have EVER ordered in my life I would not be lying. I have eaten at a multitude of Taco Bell’s in my life and I have NEVER received such a diabolical serving. My crunch wrap supreme had burnt pieces of food all over it, and was only half filled so one side had what I think was meat and the other was just bread. The taste was disgusting as well. My cheesy bean and rice burrito was so flat you would think it was a mini quesadilla and don’t get me started on the filling. It tasted like warmed up cat food and I have ordered this burrito before and I know it’s not supposed to taste like that. The only thing safe to consume was my drink and the chips with cheese. On another hand the workers genuinely looked miserable and did not speak a word to me when I picked my food up. I have worked in the restaurant and food industry for over 7 years and this is the first negative review I have left for a restaurant in years because I am genuinely astonished. Don’t eat here unless you want the shittiest Taco Bell you will ever experience. I would have had a better tasting meal if I went down the street to LONG JOHN SILVERS. Don’t eat here it sucks.
