Taco Bell finally has something that tastes like REAL Mexican food

[Dad]

In the 48 years that Taco Bell has been open not once have they ever had anything on their menu that actually tastes like real mexican food. Until now. I tried their new Cantina Taco yesterday and believe it or not, it actually tastes like real honest to god Mexican food. I was truely amazed, they even serve it to you with a lime wedge. If you like Mexican food, and you like cheap food, give it a try.

I did not take this picture, but here is their new taco.

Brock, go check it out and report back.

Their bean/onion/cheese burrito is very good & cheap

[tltaylor89]

LOL and where did that one piece of cheese come from?

[gravy]

I tried this and its nothing special to me

[brxbmbers42]

that shrimp taco they had for a limited time earlier in year was very tasty.

Gravy, you are missing the point, this is the first thing Taco Bell has ever sold that actually tastes like Mexican food. Nothing else on their menu tastes like Mexican food.

I enjoy Bean burrito supremes from Taco Bell, but my asshole and stomach hate it.

[teaserpleaser]

Dad you live in Cali no need to eat that crap if you want mexican food. Hit a roach coach or your local taco stand i dated a girl in high school who worked at taco bell trust me you dont want to eat that stuff. Must admit that did look decent for taco bell but i still wouldnt eat it.

[stealthyburrito]

dont care how it tastes.

it all reaches the same painful end on the toilet.

[Sam Odom]

Dad you live in Cali no need to eat that crap

I got taco bell yesterday and they had the new green sauce instead of the regular red ones in the packet. It wasnt half bad either.

[fsugolf]

roberto's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Chugs]

On a side note ... tried one of those grilled chicken flatbreads the other day, and its gross. The cheese on it is about 20% real shredded cheese and 80% this gross orange cheese paste shyt.

[marcoloco]

that taco does look tasty

Taco Bell's new Cantina Tacos are Taco Bell's take on the street taco and are available priced at $1.49 for one, $2.79 for two, or $4.99 for three and a large drink. Like the basic street taco, corn tortillas are folded around a simple filling of your choice of meat, onions, and cilantro.

I tried the combo with one of each meat (carnitas, steak, and chicken) and they all kind of taste the same, especially the chicken and the steak. Between the chicken and the steak, the difference was mainly textural, but not by much. Taco Bell's steak is a bit soft and mushy; like it was braised rather than grilled. The carnitas were the most different tasting, and actually had a pork flavor to it. It also had a slight smokiness to it that reminded me a little of hot dog meat. Being Taco Bell, they're not exactly generous with the meat, but there's enough for every bite.

Stay away from the Bell and oh sh.t home run Twins! 2-0!

Is Roberto's a national chain or only in Vegas? Or maybe a west coast thing? I ate there in Vegas many times after a night of drinking.

[kickenchicken]

[Johnpoints]

Thanks for the heads up, Dad. I'll give it a try.

[Doug]

Roberto's is quite good ! I miss that place.

I've never known a Mexican that would be caught dead eating Taco Bell. They should contract out TB and Dominoes to feed the prison population.

[elchampion33]

that cantina taco does look good as hell can't lie im gonna hit that up tmw lol

[MendozaLine]

When I go to Taco Bell, im not looking to spend any more than 3 dollars. I dont know how much the new cantina tacos are, but id imagine I could go to one of 3 million taco shops where I live and get something better for the price.

They may not eat there, but they sure as hell love to work there it seems.
