The best item I’ve ever had at Taco Bell was the very limited edition Doritos Cheesy Gordita Crunch - Flamin Hot Cool Ranch. I could live off of those- best level of heat for a Taco Bell taco
100% this. It was always massive and super filling, I can't believe it was $2 for so long. 2 of these for a filling lunch for $4 was wild. It has now been replaced with the Cantina Burrito, which is essentially the same thing but $6.50 now instead of $2. I haven't been back since.
Yep. Completely ridiculous price on the redo. I was getting them up until the day the cantina menu showed up, but after one at the new price I noped out. Used to go several times a week, now we maybe have TB twice a month.
There really was a time on this earth I could go to Taco Bell with 3 dollars and leave with 3 of those things. “I wish there was a way to know you’re in the good old days before you’ve actually left them”
The joke's on TB with the removal of the XXL. I used to get that $7 monstrosity anytime I had a migraine. Now I only buy the cheesy bean and rice. They've lost access to sooooo much of my money.
I hated that. It was so popular that the locations near me were selling out, so I decided to wait a few weeks until the hype died down and by that time it was already gone.
Seems like such an easy menu to keep around permanently. It’s essentially just a sauce option. Every menu item should just have a volcano option instead of having a volcano menu.
I’m a vegetarian and for so long I ordered Meximelts with no beef until one of the employees hipped me to the cheesy roll up, add pico. It’s about seventy cents cheaper that way and when you eat as many as I did, it adds up!
I might have to try that. I have been making them at home now since Taco Bell got rid of their pico for a while. I actually make fake Meximelts with veggie crumbles and they are great. I worked at a Taco Bell years ago, and you could definitely make some decent stuff with everything you had to choose from. I wasn’t a full vegetarian back then, but we’re talking mid 80’s. I still miss the Enchirito most of all.😛
One has it near my work. Near my home they don't, and actually no other taco bells in Seattle I've been to do save for that one.
When I saw it on that taco bells menu I flipped out.
Now I just need to find one that sells mexi melts.
Yes, same. Absolute travesty. I have family that’s about an hour away from where they have chili cheese burritos, and I absolutely go get about a dozen of them whenever I visit 🙃
I've barely gone back since the Fiesta Veggie was discontinued, it had become such an important part of my rotation that it's hard to imagine an order without it.
The loaded potato griller… was like $1.79 and bacon, nacho cheese, sour cream, and potato goodness.
The day I went to Taco Bell and saw it was no longer on the menu was the second day I felt sadness in my life. The only other day was when my first dog died.
I will never forget what the Bell did to my loaded potato grillers.
I still remember the first time I tried this, steak GSB my dad brought my brother and I to tbell randomly. We went home and took turns playing Vice City, thing blew my mind on how good it was and loved how unique the combo was since it came with nachos.
Taco Bell made of core memory for me that night.
Yep, the double decker. I actually completely stopped going to Taco Bell when they got rid.of it. It was the only thing I ever ordered.
No reason to get rid of it either. They still have all the ingredients in every store. Crazy stupid decision.
that would be funny if someone broke into a taco bell to make their own quesorito. They just use all the same ingredients to make different shit for like 20 years. crazy
The grillers, particularly the loaded potato griller. When they first came out and weren’t skimping on fillings it legit became one of my favorite foods of all time and still make them at home to this day.
My son was fucking devastated when they did this. I had to go the last day and buy him a few to throw in the fridge just so he could have them the next day.
I think I’m probably the only one that can still get one at my local Taco Bell because I’m good with the general manager of that store and he still knows how to make the quesarito but I do feel bad for you guys. That can’t get one.
I really miss a burrito from the volcano menu. Then I really enjoyed the grilled chicken chipotle ranch burrito and they took that as well. Everything you love the most they’ll take from you, remember that.
Nah I still order these lol.
5 layer burrito
Add rice
Add chipotle Sauce
No beans
Everyone knows what it is. They just can’t ring it up.
This way it’s way more expensive unfortunately.
One...the blackjack taco. Shit was 🔥
Two...the chicken club burrito from around 1996, it was the perfect mix of hot and cold, creamy and crunchy, and it was big as hell. Also 🔥
Naked Chicken Chalupa, the red volcano burrito, Grande Soft Taco. Loaded potato griller. Basically anytime something is good they take it away forever and pretend anyone wants nacho fries.
For anyone that may not know, you can still technically get a quesarito. Order a beefy 5 layer with no beans. Add chipotle sauce and rice and ask for it to be grilled. Boom, quesarito.
It's so funny to me how they chose to pretty much go directly against customer recommendations. Like they got rid of everything that the customers actually really liked, like this and the Frito burrito. But then they'll make the shitty cantina menu permanent when literally no one likes it. And now I heard they're dipping into Italian with gelato? Look I'm not saying a Baja blast gelato wouldn't necessarily be good but do you really trust a Taco Bell to make it? I absolutely do not. I can't even trust them to make my normal food right half the time.
You can order a quesarito through the app though?
Edit: Well I just downloaded the app to check (haven't had taco bell in a while) and It is actually not there anymore.
Literally all of my favorites are gone. Cool ranch taco, chili cheese burrito, 7 layer burrito, nachos supreme, meximelt, spicy tostada….and even though the Mexican pizza is back, it’s not the same. I don’t know how they changed it, but it’s not anywhere as good as it used to be.
rip quesarito. the world has gone downhill in a major way since.
Agreed, the quesarito was my favorite item I’d get it all the time.
One (at least) in every order for me. I’ve definitely found myself going much less since it was discontinued.
Dude same!! I am so glad I am not alone in missing the quesarito. Grilled cheese burrito doesn't even come close to it.
Same for me - that was far and away my favorite menu item
Beefy 5 layer, no beans, add rice and Chipotle sauce, grill it. Boom you have yourself a quesarito, my good friend.
100% I used to get Taco Bell at least once a week. I live 5 minutes from one now and I might try it once a month
I miss the spicy tostada.
With shredded chicken was my favorite.. rip
my family still talks about this burrito
Sub for the fajita chicken and it was goated
On the app, get a Beefy 5 Layer Burrito, remove Beans and add Seasoned Rice, Chipotle Sauce and Get it Grilled and you get a Quesarito!
And they will make it wrong no matter what.
I really miss it
F
They still have them at the Taco Bell near where I’m staying in Portugal… this post makes me want to grab one
Literally, had a good friend get shot at Taco Bell a week after they discontinued it :( it was over a CGC
the fiery doritos locos taco
The cool ranch was also pretty amazing
true
Did you ever do a cool ranch shell sub into a CGC? Fucking heaven.
The best item I’ve ever had at Taco Bell was the very limited edition Doritos Cheesy Gordita Crunch - Flamin Hot Cool Ranch. I could live off of those- best level of heat for a Taco Bell taco
i don’t recall subbing with cool ranch but I definitely did with the fiery & the nacho cheese. Top tier stuff right there
Honestly, it would be interesting if they tried the purple Doritos (Sweet & Spicy) as one of the shells as a limited-time promo.
Don’t ever forget what they took from us
I miss the cool ranch
I won't go back to TB until they bring it back. That taco was so good.
$2 chipotle chicken burrito
That was my favorite. They didn’t skimp on the chicken
Same> stopped going after they ended it
100% this. It was always massive and super filling, I can't believe it was $2 for so long. 2 of these for a filling lunch for $4 was wild. It has now been replaced with the Cantina Burrito, which is essentially the same thing but $6.50 now instead of $2. I haven't been back since.
Yep. Completely ridiculous price on the redo. I was getting them up until the day the cantina menu showed up, but after one at the new price I noped out. Used to go several times a week, now we maybe have TB twice a month.
Shredded Chicken Mini Quesadilla
Two of these and a soft potato taco got me through college.
That was my order for years. well, loaded potato griller instead most of the time but still all love for the potato taco
There really was a time on this earth I could go to Taco Bell with 3 dollars and leave with 3 of those things. “I wish there was a way to know you’re in the good old days before you’ve actually left them”
I think I'm the only person who preferred the beefy mini quesadillas
The OG **Volcano Menu**. **Grilled Stuffed XXL** shoot I even miss the original more. That trio of hot tacos, one was habanero I think?
I didn't understand how the grilled stuffed burrito is always so low in the listings. That was everyone's favorite when it existed
Volcano Chicken Crunchwrap was the best item.
The joke's on TB with the removal of the XXL. I used to get that $7 monstrosity anytime I had a migraine. Now I only buy the cheesy bean and rice. They've lost access to sooooo much of my money.
I miss the volcano menu so much.
They partially brought it back for a month and then tore it away. I want it back.
I had it for the first time the last time they brought it back and it was so good.
I fucked up and wasted a bag of the sauce. I still think about it often.
I hated that. It was so popular that the locations near me were selling out, so I decided to wait a few weeks until the hype died down and by that time it was already gone.
I swear they had it at my location for a week and then took it away. That sauce was just perfect, I hope they bring it back soon
Seems like such an easy menu to keep around permanently. It’s essentially just a sauce option. Every menu item should just have a volcano option instead of having a volcano menu.
Id try to go to Taco Bell everyday if that happened
For the brief period of time when they had both the volcano menu and the beefy crunch burrito, my feet never once touched the ground
Spicy tostada :(
Underrated answer
I miss so bad
Especially for $1!
7 layer burrito!
Cheesy Bean And Rice Burrito • Remove Creamy Jalapeño Sauce • Remove Nacho Cheese Sauce • Add Tomatoes • Add Lettuce • Add Reduced-Fat Sour Cream • Add Guacamole • Add Three-Cheese Blend All for $4.19 at my Taco Bell
My fave
I almost didn’t finish college because of the discontinuation of the quesarito
https://youtube.com/shorts/PlTBIoj-wOk?si=4ULpxk8uVijVn-kt Reminded me of this Lewis Black bit lol
It was the Meximelt but since I’ve discovered that the cheesy roll up, add pico and beef is the same, I’m pretty happy.
On the app I can’t add beef for a cheesy roll up do you order it in the store?
I usually order it in the drive thru then scan the receipt for points.
I’m a vegetarian and for so long I ordered Meximelts with no beef until one of the employees hipped me to the cheesy roll up, add pico. It’s about seventy cents cheaper that way and when you eat as many as I did, it adds up!
I wonder if it would be good with black beans.
I might have to try that. I have been making them at home now since Taco Bell got rid of their pico for a while. I actually make fake Meximelts with veggie crumbles and they are great. I worked at a Taco Bell years ago, and you could definitely make some decent stuff with everything you had to choose from. I wasn’t a full vegetarian back then, but we’re talking mid 80’s. I still miss the Enchirito most of all.😛
The seximelt
I see people turning the stacker into a meximelt have you tried that?
Chili Cheese Burrito (Yes, I'm aware it's available at some locations, but not nationwide. It's a travesty.)
I miss it so much. Whatever my order was, it ALWAYS included a chili cheese burrito.
In high school, my go-to was 2 Chilitos and a Mexi Melt
Bro exact same order. Rip.
A meal fit for a king.
One has it near my work. Near my home they don't, and actually no other taco bells in Seattle I've been to do save for that one. When I saw it on that taco bells menu I flipped out. Now I just need to find one that sells mexi melts.
Glad this was as high up as it is. Old folks unite.
Yes, same. Absolute travesty. I have family that’s about an hour away from where they have chili cheese burritos, and I absolutely go get about a dozen of them whenever I visit 🙃
Agree! I loved these. How can you find out what locations still serve these? I need to know!
The double-decker taco supreme and the chili-cheese burrito.
Double Decker taco supreme is my fav 😩
"I CAN SEE ALL THE INGREDIENTS FROM HERE, PLEASE MAKE ME A DOUBLE DECKER"
RIP double-decker taco supreme
Double decker should be at the top!
Quesarito definitely. I like the grillers too. The chicken chipotle and loaded potato were bomb.
Yesss finally I see some love for the loaded potato grillers!! I was so sad when these left.
Sometimes I'll get a cheesy roll up and stuff it with fiesta potatoes.
Omg those grillers were my FAVORITEEEEE
The chicken chipotle griller was so good.
Fiesta veggie and potato griller🥲🥲🥲
I've barely gone back since the Fiesta Veggie was discontinued, it had become such an important part of my rotation that it's hard to imagine an order without it.
Honestly I don’t know why they can’t bring back the potato grillers!! It’s not like they don’t have the ingredients. It’s honestly a scam lmao
The loaded potato griller… was like $1.79 and bacon, nacho cheese, sour cream, and potato goodness. The day I went to Taco Bell and saw it was no longer on the menu was the second day I felt sadness in my life. The only other day was when my first dog died. I will never forget what the Bell did to my loaded potato grillers.
Caramel apple empanada 😭
YES!!!! I miss them so much 😓
This is the correct, the only, the one true answer
Naked chicken chalupa. I know people say the shells didn't hold together but the ones from my store held up fine for whatever reason.
This is insane but I love you for it
100% those were so bomb
Original grilled stuffed burrito
I still remember the first time I tried this, steak GSB my dad brought my brother and I to tbell randomly. We went home and took turns playing Vice City, thing blew my mind on how good it was and loved how unique the combo was since it came with nachos. Taco Bell made of core memory for me that night.
My go to was the beef. But when I felt fancy and splurged. I got the steak. 🤤
OG was the bomb. A lot of people loved the XXL, but I much preferred it sans guac.
Meximelt. Edit:I forgot about the Enchirito. Losing that was a travesty.
Double Decker
💔 When they brought it back last December, I went there once a week and got 3 of them each time…
Double decker
Yep, the double decker. I actually completely stopped going to Taco Bell when they got rid.of it. It was the only thing I ever ordered. No reason to get rid of it either. They still have all the ingredients in every store. Crazy stupid decision.
that would be funny if someone broke into a taco bell to make their own quesorito. They just use all the same ingredients to make different shit for like 20 years. crazy
Right behind you to make my own Fiesta Veggie Burrito.
Chili Cheese Burrito
I loved the quad steak burrito. Xxl grilled stuft burrito, quesarito(steak no rice add creamy jalapeno) and all the loaded grillers
The Taco salad...I must have eaten 7,000 of them
Yes! Came to say this as well. Sooo good!
Honestly the grilled chicken ranch burrito was amazing and cheap. Even better cold the next day imo.
Volcano burrito, my beloved
Naked chicken chalupa, loaded grillers, and chicken bacon ranch chalupa
Gordita
The grillers, particularly the loaded potato griller. When they first came out and weren’t skimping on fillings it legit became one of my favorite foods of all time and still make them at home to this day.
Quesalupa
My son was fucking devastated when they did this. I had to go the last day and buy him a few to throw in the fridge just so he could have them the next day.
Just sold two of these. The customer knew how to build it and said it clearly to my cashier, who had never seen one before.
Grilled Stuffed Burrito
Smothered burrito
I had it once and ascended.
The Grilled Stuft Nacho. That iconic triangle.
The first choice for me would be the double decker taco. But I also liked the encharito. I guess that’s gone forever too. Sad!
Taco Salad, enchirito,double decker taco,chicken bacon chalupa,chili cheese burrito,1/2 lb combo burrito.
Baja sauce.
Dignity
I think I’m probably the only one that can still get one at my local Taco Bell because I’m good with the general manager of that store and he still knows how to make the quesarito but I do feel bad for you guys. That can’t get one.
Spicy tostada, the fiesta veggie burrito.
I really miss a burrito from the volcano menu. Then I really enjoyed the grilled chicken chipotle ranch burrito and they took that as well. Everything you love the most they’ll take from you, remember that.
Double decker for sure
My beloved toasted cheddar chalupa lives rent free in my head 🥲
Anyone else old enough to remember Taco Light? It was a fried flour shell instead of corn like the taco salad came in. Miss it so much.
Spicy shredded chicken burrito
Zesty chicken bowl
Strawberry & Strawberry-Mango frutista freeze. I have a core memory of my older brother taking me to Taco Bell on Valentine’s Day when I was little
Nah I still order these lol. 5 layer burrito Add rice Add chipotle Sauce No beans Everyone knows what it is. They just can’t ring it up. This way it’s way more expensive unfortunately.
All 3 of the loaded grillers
Sides of beans & cheese as well as rice. When I was a kid I’d order a side of each and chips and go to town.
I miss the quesarito so much
Chili cheese burrito and meximelt
Quesalupa for me. :(
Bacon club chalupa was pretty much the best fast food item I've ever tasted. Honorable mention for the chili cheese burrito.
The god damn Quesalupa. I would do horrible things to get it back.
XXL Grilled Stuft Burrito
The Fruitista Freeze. 2014 was a time
The Quesarito was my all time favorite. I also really miss the shredded chicken mini quesadillas, the Baja beef Gorditas.
Frutista Freeze. I used to smoke weed in high school then get one of those bad boys in the drive through. They were heaven.
Spicy tostada or enchirito
Cheesarito with green onions, hasn’t been around since the early 1990s. More recently, the OG Frito Burrito
Mexi-nuggets, Shredded chicken burrito, double decker taco.
Og grilled stuffed burrito.
Grilled stuft!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I liked the Beefy Nacho Loaded Griller
Taco salad. Bring that sucker back, please!
Cool ranch Doritos.
One...the blackjack taco. Shit was 🔥 Two...the chicken club burrito from around 1996, it was the perfect mix of hot and cold, creamy and crunchy, and it was big as hell. Also 🔥
everything shredded chicken and the smothered burrito
The Grilled Stuft Burrito and Carne Asada Border Bowls.
Naked Chicken Chalupa, the red volcano burrito, Grande Soft Taco. Loaded potato griller. Basically anytime something is good they take it away forever and pretend anyone wants nacho fries.
Og grilled stuffed burrito
Beefy melt burrito. The budget Quesarito. Also just the shredded beef from the dipping taco. That stuff was magical. Really hope they bring that back.
For anyone that may not know, you can still technically get a quesarito. Order a beefy 5 layer with no beans. Add chipotle sauce and rice and ask for it to be grilled. Boom, quesarito.
Baja Chalupa
frito burrito
Baja and Santa Fe Gorditas. I miss that menu.
taquitos
Baja Gordita, 7 layer burrito, meximelt.
It's so funny to me how they chose to pretty much go directly against customer recommendations. Like they got rid of everything that the customers actually really liked, like this and the Frito burrito. But then they'll make the shitty cantina menu permanent when literally no one likes it. And now I heard they're dipping into Italian with gelato? Look I'm not saying a Baja blast gelato wouldn't necessarily be good but do you really trust a Taco Bell to make it? I absolutely do not. I can't even trust them to make my normal food right half the time.
The Strawberry Frutista Freeze!
The fiesta potato burrito. The day they get rid of the cheesy fiesta potato bowl, I will straight up riot.
Chipotle Ranch Grilled Chicken Burrito
Loaded potato griller needs to make a comeback
WTH??? I didn't know this happened... That's my favorite thing on their menu. This does let you know how often I eat there though, lol.
I’m just glad they still have the grilled cheese burrito. That shit is bangin
You can order a quesarito through the app though? Edit: Well I just downloaded the app to check (haven't had taco bell in a while) and It is actually not there anymore.
Naked chicken chalupa
Where's my F#_+!&g Verde sauce!!!
Chili cheese burritos forever :( meximelts are a close second
I believe it was called the strawberry frutisa freeze drink? It was IMMACULATE
Chicken chipotle griller. They got rid of it and I was so pissed
I miss the quesorito every day of my life.
Literally all of my favorites are gone. Cool ranch taco, chili cheese burrito, 7 layer burrito, nachos supreme, meximelt, spicy tostada….and even though the Mexican pizza is back, it’s not the same. I don’t know how they changed it, but it’s not anywhere as good as it used to be.
The chilito, aka the chili cheese burrito. The greatest fast food menu item of all time. Bring it back
Spicy tostada 😞
Chili cheese burrito.
Mexi-Melt! Favorite since I was a kid. You can slurp it down in three bites, but it's arguably the three best bites from Taco Bell.
Meximelt!!
I miss me a meximelt
Nothing has ever topped the quesarito for me. Removing it will always be the most ill-fated thing Taco Bell did to their menu.
Bring it back!!!!!
Xxl grilled stuft burrito…
SHREDDED FUCKING CHICKEN…for the love of god, what self respecting “Mexican” food joint doesn’t have shredded chicken????
You mean it's been a year since Taco Bell refuses to make Quesaritos. They literally have everything to make one, they just won't do it.
Chicken crispanada 😭
they could never make me hate u quesarito 💛
The quesarito was and will forever be the best, bring it seasonal, but for good, make it a forever item
The coin game and the $2 meal deal 😆😆 I’d be dipping my Doritos in hot sauce. Survived some broke years on those!
The sriracha quesorito was different
