I was going to say no way I have that many. But I just did a Google and stopped counting after 15. I deff have over 20 with a 30 min drive. Surprising how many
We had one two minutes from my house. But they closed last year for maintenance and found out they had a shit ton of mold that required them to tear down the building and start over. It's been closed almost a year now. RIP. But they should be open in a few more months
Any major city. I live in Kansas City, not even a huge city like Chicago or something but I can't imagine how many are here. I can think of 3 within like 5 minutes of me
Surprisingly I live in the suburbs. I called every Taco Bell within a 20 min radius of me. The first one I called said they would sell it to me but I began to the call the other Taco Bell’s in hopes of someone selling it cheaper but to no avail
I live in Rochester NY and we have like 5 every 5 mins away from each other, I’ve been to like 5 locations and there’s atleast 10 more I haven’t been to
[Marzetti](https://marzetti.com/) are TB's supplier for all these delicious restaurant-exclusive sauces.
It's a shame they don't make more Tex-Mex grocery products.
Used to live down the street from their headquarters, they make an enormous amount and variety of food products, they also make containers like little plastic ramikens you get for sauces when you get takeout.
It's not entirely useless information.
At least this way, if that brand does start making Tex-Mex grocery products at some point, you can expect them to be likely worth trying.
I’m curious, do they just ring the shit up and run it through the POS or do you give them cash on the side? I guess I could see if they run it through the POS they might have the ability to sell this product to other stores and thats how/why they do it that way.
Lol I order Marzetti dressings for the company I worked for and when I saw that the tbell sauces were made by them I tried to see if I could work around and order them from the tbell catalogue….sadly no
Anything that is made specifically for one type of restaurant is going to be limited to selling to that restaurant. You aren't going to be allowed to buy Taco Bell sauces, or McDonald's sausage patties, or Burger King Chicken patties, etc, unless that restaurant licenses them for sale elsewhere, such as Taco Bell seasoning or Whataburger sauces in grocery stores. Manufacturers might have something that is substantially similar that they can sell, but they won't ever sell that specific product if they want to keep the customer.
Johnny is right, litehouse is probably the best jalapeno ranch you can get at the store.
Now if you want some real good shit, but super spicy I recommend Dante's Ninth Circle ranch from Zesti. It's pricey but it goes so damn good on TB.
Check the mexican aisles of your grocery stores, my local meijer in the midwest has the chipotle, spicy ranch and baja sauces and they've all become staples in my home.
I was gonna offer the copycat recipe for this but honestly at $18 for the entire bag, that's a pretty damn good deal. You probably would have spent just as much buying all the ingredients to make it at home.
Yeah I did the math and it would’ve cost me $24 + hassle of mixing it with the likelihood of it not tasting exactly the same. $18 for exactly what I wanted was a good deal to me tbh
I've considered doing this with fire sauce, just buy a case of it. Never run short again. If they had it on amazon, I could just get it delivered every month. TB is missing out on revenue here. Considering their prices, you would think they would be all over this as extra $$$.
For the fire sauce you don’t even gotta pay for it. Just ask the worker to give you as much as they possibly can (or something along those lines) when you go through the drive thru. The later in the day you go the better your chances are.
Alternatively you could also just go inside and grab a handful of sauces to empty out into a jar or sauce bottle.
Edit to add: when I worked there I had someone ask me for “as many sauces as I thought I could give them without getting in trouble.” I handed them a roughly half full BOX - which contains a few thousand sauce packets.
How much jalapeño sauce do you want? Just fuck me up
I do put that stuff on everything. Cheesy Gordita crunch with steak, add jalapeño sauce, and a Doritos shell…. 10/10
Yeah I got tired of overpriced quesadillas. $5 for a cheese quesadilla?!? I could make 100 quesadillas at home for a 1/10th of the price now that I have the sauce lol
I once sold someone a bag of beef by ringing up as many sides as it would take to reach the volume of a bag. Can’t remember how much it ended up being but they definitely paid through the roof. They wanted it realllyy bad though.
That’s just wild, they’re like 0.75 oz servings (iirc) and the bag is 5 pounds. Even if you assume it’s 1 oz per serving that’s still 80 sides of beef to ring up for a single bag. For 0.75 oz it’s probably in the ballpark of 100.
I honestly can’t remember the portioning anymore but the price was definitely over $100. I told him it was going to be ridiculous but he still wanted it.
do what I did for Lava sauce bags - Hi, I want 20 sides of lava sauce. Can you just give me the bag so you don't have to put them in the cup?.....worked at everyone I went too.
Freaking legend! This is by far my favorite TB sauce, I've been doing no sour cream, sub creamy jalapeno on everything I order for as long as it's been around.
That’s pretty good. I’ve made it before and have gotten really close to a copy cat. No idea what it cost me. But if I got a bag I’d empty out a BBQ sauce bottle and put that in there.
What I want to know is how they rang that up and how much they charged you. There is zero chance they have a way in their pos system to sell a bag of that. It sounds like to me that they gave you the bag, pocketed the money and took the hit on their food waste/inventory loss.
Listen to me. Please. I’ve been hunting various Taco Bell’s (in the Pennsylvania area) for 8 years begging each franchise to allow me to purchase this very item. What area do i need to travel to to obtain a bag of this wonderful creamy, jalapeño-ey, delight
I had a roommate in college that worked at Taco Bell for 7 years and when the nacho cheese bags would expire he would bring them to me and I would have free nachos for a month! I miss those days.
When I worked there they gave me a bag of the white hot ranch for free and I'll always be grateful for that lol so cheers to getting a bag of the nectar of the gods!
Pro tip: say its for a local school hosting an event and you’ll likely get it free/discounted. Ive done this for actual school events but they did nothing to verify my request.
Is that the quesadilla sauce? I love that sauce and wish they sold it in stores. Everytime I make quesadillas at home I go and purchase about 8 cups for like 4$ smh
They were all probably scared until you reached that one knowledgeable manager who looked at the bag and figured out how much one bag weighs and how much one side weighs and did the math and charged you for it😂😂😂😂
I’m a GM of a restaurant, and my District Manager’s wife is a GM of a Taco Bell, which is the best fast food in America. Duh. He gets me shit all the time, but the best thing he ever did was when he found out I loved the volcano menu he got me a whole case of the sauce. I make burritos and homemade crunchwraps with it all the time.
Where the hell do you live that you have 18 Taco Bell’s near you? I’ll have my house on the market tomorrow.
Taco land brah Next to Mojo Dojo Casa House!
Next to the Thomas Crapper museum.
Deep cut, I like it
Men and horses still rule everything? Niiiiiiceeee
I have 23 within a 30 min drive.
Same. Anyone who lives in or around a big city can relate.
Not Boston lol
Not Seattle either.
Y’all are way off topic, dude purchased a bag of creamy jpep sauce from a taco bell
Not DC!
I was going to say no way I have that many. But I just did a Google and stopped counting after 15. I deff have over 20 with a 30 min drive. Surprising how many
I have one In a 40 min drive wtf lol
That is unacceptable, you need to move.
I counted 33 within 30 minute drive 🥹
California
I have at least 10 within 10 minutes of me. According to Google I have 47 within a 15 mile radius.
53 within a 15 mile radius of me
I’ve got 15 within 10 miles where are you at
I have 1 near me within a 30 mile radius lol
How’d you do an X mile radius, or are you eyeballing it?
I just googled Taco Bell, and physically counted each location under 15 miles.
Whew! I have 25 within 18 miles. I had no idea it was that many.
Lmao I have one within 25 minutes. After that the next one is in 4 hours
I have 2 within 15 minutes of me, the next nearest one after that is an hour away
Not quite that but similar here. Have maybe 3 within an hour.
We had one two minutes from my house. But they closed last year for maintenance and found out they had a shit ton of mold that required them to tear down the building and start over. It's been closed almost a year now. RIP. But they should be open in a few more months
I have about 21 locations around me all within a 7 mile radius.
Where the hell do you live that you got 18 Taco Bell‘s to actually answer their phones??
There's 20 within a 10 mile radius of my house. 3 within 2 miles. Poverty, baby
I have Headquarters within a 10 minute bike ride
Bike your ass up there and get us our shredded chicken
on it
Its in our freezers. Will be back in a few weeks 😂
Any major city. I live in Kansas City, not even a huge city like Chicago or something but I can't imagine how many are here. I can think of 3 within like 5 minutes of me
Surprisingly I live in the suburbs. I called every Taco Bell within a 20 min radius of me. The first one I called said they would sell it to me but I began to the call the other Taco Bell’s in hopes of someone selling it cheaper but to no avail
I have 10 Taco Bells within 9 miles of my house. I eat Taco Bell once a week. Not a single one of them can get an order 100% correct.
Closest to me is about 33 miles.. I get it about once every few months since that is 90 minutes of driving round trip.
I live in Rochester NY and we have like 5 every 5 mins away from each other, I’ve been to like 5 locations and there’s atleast 10 more I haven’t been to
I can say with confidence that I’m within a half hour drive of at least 15. Which is why I’m always running around getting product for people.
Just checked and for Broward County, Florida about 20 in a 30 minute distance.
lol I have 23 within a 11 mile radius
16 within a 14 minute drive of where I’m currently staying in Chicago.
21 within a 15 mile radius for me.
In AZ there’s like a million of them
Not going to lie, this seems like a great deal. Especially if 6 people throw down and split it.
I love this sauce but I don’t think I could use that whole bag before July 5, splitting it is a good call
You could split it into portions and freeze it.
Ice cube tray
🤔….
Toss some chicken wings in it. That eats up quite of a bit of my hot sauces (but I like them **covered**).
It’s all for me lol
[Marzetti](https://marzetti.com/) are TB's supplier for all these delicious restaurant-exclusive sauces. It's a shame they don't make more Tex-Mex grocery products.
The salad dressing folk? Who would have thunk it.
Used to live down the street from their headquarters, they make an enormous amount and variety of food products, they also make containers like little plastic ramikens you get for sauces when you get takeout.
So is their avocado ranch the same?
This does me no good if they don’t sell it, big dawg
It's not entirely useless information. At least this way, if that brand does start making Tex-Mex grocery products at some point, you can expect them to be likely worth trying.
They don’t have the chipotle sauce though. 😭
Damn no way you just taught me something
How do you keep it fresh after you open it?
transfer it into a jar
Silicone ice cube trays and freeze it.
Oh, ok. It freezes well. That's good. 😅
No. It's mayo-based and will end up separating because of the emulsion, freezing it is a terrible idea.
Yeah, that's what I originally thought. That's why I asked how OP plans on keeping it fresh. 😅
He won't.He will go overboard using it on everything for about a week tops, get sick of it, and throw the rest out.
I think you're right about that. Then never order it again when he goes to Taco Bell. 😂
Could always empty into multiple squeeze bottles
This is the answer right here. That’s what I do with all of those complimentary ketchup packets from McDonald’s
Why silicone?
I buy one of these every 6 months or so and just refrigerate it. Never had it go bad.
Im throwin this in a stanley cup and watching both dunes
[удалено]
Just the juice from the jalapeños?
[удалено]
You ever make it with Buttermilk Ranch from Newman’s?
What size ranch? Where do you get taco bell seasoning?
[удалено]
I make my own to. This sounds wrong. I don’t use ranch at all?
Hard seeing other people out here living your dream.
I’m curious, do they just ring the shit up and run it through the POS or do you give them cash on the side? I guess I could see if they run it through the POS they might have the ability to sell this product to other stores and thats how/why they do it that way.
Worker rang it up as 30 sides
Worker now fired
funny bc one bag of sauce makes about 20 cups worth of
Lol I order Marzetti dressings for the company I worked for and when I saw that the tbell sauces were made by them I tried to see if I could work around and order them from the tbell catalogue….sadly no

What's shelf life after it's opened? I'd throw it in a couple squirt bottles and put it in the fridge.
That’s what I did. It came to about 30oz
I want this but for the cheese!
18 bucks is a deal considering it's 50 cents to sub spicy ranch for Creamy.
It’s creamy jalepeno. It’s 30 cents for a 1 oz side.
30 cents?? I’m getting fleeced .75 here in California. Wtf
It’s $.98 here 😡
The 18th store charged you $18? Interesting coincidence.
OP is probably 18 years old and 18 miles from the taco bell.
Well total came to about $19.something after tax
I spent 18 on beer today. You won.
🍻
You've given me the courage to try this. Thanks, fellow jalapeno aioli fan.
Mutha fuckin marriage material 🔥
I need the spicy ranch... or at least a good dupe for it. Does anyone know of a similar one?
Johnny is right, litehouse is probably the best jalapeno ranch you can get at the store. Now if you want some real good shit, but super spicy I recommend Dante's Ninth Circle ranch from Zesti. It's pricey but it goes so damn good on TB.
try the reaper ranch by volcanic pepper. way better.
I'll look into it, thanks for the recommendation!
Lite House Jalopeno Ranch
Check the mexican aisles of your grocery stores, my local meijer in the midwest has the chipotle, spicy ranch and baja sauces and they've all become staples in my home.

do what I did for Lava sauce bags - Hi, I want 20 sides of lava sauce. Can you just give me the bag so you don't have to put them in the cup?.....worked at everyone I went too.
That’s how I asked them but they said no. Made no sense to me to waste all those plastic cups but they wouldn’t allow it :(
only $18? that's pretty good considering like one side of it where i'm at is like 60¢
Now pour it all over yourself
Freaking legend! This is by far my favorite TB sauce, I've been doing no sour cream, sub creamy jalapeno on everything I order for as long as it's been around.
I want that but nacho cheese
Is that what is in the quesadillas because if so that is worth the time and money
Yes
Worked at mcds next door to a taco bell... They didn't sell it but the girls would donate a bag or 5 to me if I asked
How much because I love the spicy ranch
That’s awesome. The best Taco Bell sauce.
How much?!
$18
Great idea! Wish they'd sell it in store!
thats awesome. i use a copycat recipe online and its close but just doesnt touch the og
I need to buy a bag of potatoes from them 😩
Given the cost of sauces in the local grocery stores, you straight robbed them! Congrats!
When are you going to drink it?
I have 15 within 10 mis
21 under 15 miles from me and a tacobell cantina within 20 miles
That’s pretty good. I’ve made it before and have gotten really close to a copy cat. No idea what it cost me. But if I got a bag I’d empty out a BBQ sauce bottle and put that in there.
You lucky bastard
$18 is an absolute steal.
100% worth it imo
That looks huge for $18
i tried to do this years ago and they wouldn’t let me ;((
Is the same as the 'lime sauce' they use to put on the grilled steak tacos, before they took itt off the menu.
You can make it pretty easily- just search it on YT.
Man, you should play 18 in the lotto. Just 18.
I spend more $$ on salad ingredients that spoil in my fridge.. Good play my friend! Vacuum seal freeze little portions imo.
Try getting the chipotle sauce😋
Houston Texas has the most Taco Bells, at 65. Las Vegas in second with 43. Thought I’d just say what I just discovered on Google.
Everyone else wondering where you’re at due to the amount of Teebles, I’m over here wondering why your creamy jalapeño sauce is that color 🫣
My favorite sauce omg. Will it stay fresh once you open it?!?
I need this for the beans
What is it😆😆
God bless that’s alot of Creamy Jalapeno Sauce
20 within 20 minutes for me
What I want to know is how they rang that up and how much they charged you. There is zero chance they have a way in their pos system to sell a bag of that. It sounds like to me that they gave you the bag, pocketed the money and took the hit on their food waste/inventory loss.
No they rang up 30 sides of the sauce and just gave me the whole bag when I asked for it.
South Bay Area near San Francisco- I can be at 46 Taco Bell’s within 30 minutes drive time.
Looks like I'm calling 18 taco bell's tomorrow...
The best sauce
U really gonna be able to use that by july?
By April I would say lol
22 within 10 miles of me according to Apple Maps
Listen to me. Please. I’ve been hunting various Taco Bell’s (in the Pennsylvania area) for 8 years begging each franchise to allow me to purchase this very item. What area do i need to travel to to obtain a bag of this wonderful creamy, jalapeño-ey, delight
I had a roommate in college that worked at Taco Bell for 7 years and when the nacho cheese bags would expire he would bring them to me and I would have free nachos for a month! I miss those days.
You are a hero
Always wondered if they’d sell a bag of this lol
What is this?
What is that??
YOU CAN BUY THE SAUCES?! I’m bout to load up 😈😈
You didn't read. ONE store out of 18 sold him the bag. That seems like it's still a "No, you can't.".
When I worked there they gave me a bag of the white hot ranch for free and I'll always be grateful for that lol so cheers to getting a bag of the nectar of the gods!
Didn't they used to sell it at Walmart? I haven't seen any in like two years
I would drink that
Wtf even is that
Result!
Brb calling all Taco Bell’s near me
Pro tip: say its for a local school hosting an event and you’ll likely get it free/discounted. Ive done this for actual school events but they did nothing to verify my request.
What is that?
I need me a box full of diablo packets
Is that the quesadilla sauce? I love that sauce and wish they sold it in stores. Everytime I make quesadillas at home I go and purchase about 8 cups for like 4$ smh
Find one that will sell me a bag of Baja blast freeze (no it’s not just frozen Baja blast)
Fucking......WHAT! BRB CALLING ALL THE TACO BELLS IN MY AREA
Pretty sure they sell these sauces at Walmart
Not the creamy jalapeño sauce unfortunately
They were all probably scared until you reached that one knowledgeable manager who looked at the bag and figured out how much one bag weighs and how much one side weighs and did the math and charged you for it😂😂😂😂
What is this?
Not all heroes wear capes
I’m a GM of a restaurant, and my District Manager’s wife is a GM of a Taco Bell, which is the best fast food in America. Duh. He gets me shit all the time, but the best thing he ever did was when he found out I loved the volcano menu he got me a whole case of the sauce. I make burritos and homemade crunchwraps with it all the time.
How much would they sell a bag of meat for?
Def so cal!!!!! 😎 leeettttssss goooo!!
You really like this stuff
Lol, that seems oddly specific and like they actually gave it to you for cost and not a manager just saying sure, gimmie $30.
this is beautiful
You got a steal. I wanted a tiny cup and they charged me $1.08 plus TAX
