One tiny little squirt of sour cream that's maybe on half the taco. Three or four pieces of tomato on a supreme. That kinda stuff.

If you respond to the survey on the receipt, their management will hear about it, and they might work towards sucking less.

Doubt that would help, Taco Bell is suppose to suck. I dropped $6.50 there the other night and left with one of the heaviest bag of food I've ever gotten for under $10. Nobody goes to Taco Bell for the awesome food, they go because it's cheap and tastes good enough to pass.

False. It's supposed to have a specified amount of sour cream, and a specified amount of tomatoes, etc. One of the specific questions on the survey is "was your taco visually full?".
 
Most of the Taco Bells around here are Kentacohuts. (KFC + Taco Bell + Pizza Huts)

So it makes sense that someone goofed on an order and made these by mistake. (Dropping a KFC chicken leg in a taco bell bag) Good news for them that someone thought that it tasted pretty good.
 
I did get the $5 box from TB a few days ago, 3 tacos and 1 medium drink. The fried chicken shell taco was pretty decent. It was the best tasting out of the 3 tacos in the box.

The $5 box isn't overpriced for what it is. The Cheesy Gordita Crunch alone costs about $3. It also comes with the burrito supreme, crunchy taco, drink and nachos. Clearly you can do better elsewhere, but I can tell you right now you won't get a meal and drink for five bucks.

I got the $5 box the other day & was surprised at how filling it is. I couldn't even finish the whole thing.
 
I had the Naked Chicken Chalupa two times now. It's pretty darn good. I was impressed with the quality of the chicken...seemed better than the crap McD's puts in their chicken sandwiches.

I added ground beef to mine, so I guess it wasn't naked, but it was pretty darn good that way. Felt weird to not have meat IN the taco.

I had them make mine like a regular chalupa, beef/sour cream/cheese. It was decent.

Hold up, it doesn't COME WITH taco filling? I thought that was the whole point of this thing. It's a chalupa with a fried chicken shell. If you have to add the meat then it's just fried chicken wrapped around sad lettuce and sour cream.
