Anyway, I tried the one with steak last night and had them hold the red sauce, pretty damn good and big as well

You guys forgot:

Had one of these yesterday for lunch, beef version. Pretty good, pleasantly surprised. Doesn't look anything like the commercial but nothing ever well.

I've given up trying to figure out how people eat this garbage. Wouldn't it be simpler to just buy a can of Crisco and drink it?

This is no different than eating at the local taqueria, other than maybe taste. But calorie content, fat content, sodium are pretty much the same. Are you telling me, that you, living in TX, have never been to a mexican restaurant?

Wet Burritos never look appetizing , it's basically impossible to make a burrito smoothered in red sauce look good. They get soggy and deformed. But they're one of the most delicious things ever. TB fuck this one up with the sour cream, beans and Chipotle looking rice. THAT IS NOT SPANISH RICE. A wet burrito = meat + rice + red sauce and cheese smothered on top.

That's what she said.
 
The chicken/steak one actually looks decently similar to a real wet burrito, which is what it's really called. Although that sounds like something you'd say you have to a girl with a smirk on your face.
 
Had the chicken one the other night. Was pretty damn good although it didn't arrive quite as good looking as the picture.

The chicken actually seemed like real chicken.. not pressed or ground up.
 
Their hot sauce is good. Their fire sauce is actually not that much hotter and tastes like shit.

I usually go for the mexican pizza meal or just a bunch of hard tacos.

Their food is quintessential garbage though.
 
How much is this garbage? I need to go pick up some authentic Mexican and compare it to the taco bell smothered burrito. I'll get a pic later.

Which is no difference than the local mexican place

Let's see:

Taco Bell Ingredients:

Flour tortilla
tomatilla sauce
cheese
seasoned beef
corn
rice

Local Mexican Restaurant Ingredients:

Flour tortilla
tomatilla sauce
cheese
seasoned beef
corn
rice

Now, maybe the sauces will taste different and the Mexican restaurant will use a different flavor cheese, but corn is corn, rice is rice, flour tortillas are essentially the same. And don't get going on Taco Bells Beef, that issue was raised and solved last year.

Not sure where you live, but around here the local Mexican restaurants are like, way better than Taco Bell.
 
In this thread, people reveal that real Mexican restaurants have higher quality than fast food TB

Also, BMW is better than Kia
 
I think their food is good tasting for what it is and I do enjoy a TB meal occasionally for lunch but I don't think anyone really considers TB to be real mexican food.
