the cheese is garbage. order all regular tacos fresca style.
The far superior Crunchwrap Supreme was practically engineered to solve every case of taco mishap imaginable. Crunchy, tasty, and sh*t doesn’t fly everywhere when you bite into it. It even keeps your hands relatively clean. If you must eat in your car, this is the way to go.
The only flaw is it doesn’t have a good way to inject hot/medium/mild sauce into the envelope, and I’m pretty sure you can’t order it prepared that way.
Double decker taco did it too
That’s the one with the soft taco shell bean-glued to the outside? Solid compromise to prevent taco-shell shrapnel from ejecting all over your lap. Doesn’t fix OP’s cheese problem though.
You can. I worked at Taco Bell, and our managerial training had/has an entire module that boils down to: “if we can reasonably do it, and the customer asks, then do it.”
This is a game changer. Thank you.
As Bill Hicks put it:
“Welcome to Taco Bell. How would you like your beans and rice arranged?”
I can’t believe I never thought to ask it prepared that way. This makes the crunch wrap such a more inviting option for me.
The taco is just an objectively inferior vessel for transporting food to your mouth. It has two whole open sides that are level with it’s base and it’s open to the air all across the top. It wouldn’t matter what you put on top. It will still spill out. You have to turn your head 90 degrees horizontal to eat a damn taco. Burritos are superior.
Burrito baby, wrap that taco in swaddling clothes.
I’ll never understand why they don’t just put the cheese directly on top if the meat so it gets all melty and delicious. That’s how I do my tacos at home: It goes meat, cheese, hot sauce, lettuce, cilantro, then pico, in that order. Don’t forget to fry shells yourself using corn tortillas. Don’t buy that pre-made Old El Paso bullshit.
And now I want to make tacos.
I put the cheese first, then meat on top to melt it and make the meat stick to the tortilla.
The real answer is because they don’t look as good. Marketing decided they look sad and pathetic if all you can see is lettuce, since the amount of cheese and meat is so small anyways. They want you to SEE it has cheese. They don’t care if you can’t taste it because it’s on your lap.
Wait Taco Bell actually tweeted this?
Photoshop, inspect element both exist… so probably not.
It makes more sense that they are just assholes rather than they can’t figure out basic taco architecture, despite 50+ years in the taco making biz.
If they put that little cheese on warm meat, everyone would be back inside saying, “I didn’t get any cheese, look.”
If they put the lettuce on top, isn’t that just going to fall all over?
Yeah but the cheese doesn’t melt bc of this :(
Taco Bell cheese wouldn’t melt in the microwave. You want “melty cheese” there, get the nacho sauce.
I used to order them without lettuce when I used to go there, and it’ll melt on the ride home. Won’t be pretty or good, but it’ll do
I’m sorry but what?
It’ll melt on the 30m drive from the nearest TB to my house, it melts when I reheat tacos from the taco box no problem
Cheese on top is OK, just gotta melt it. Acts as a sorta glue. Without melting? Yeah get fucked
