Taco Bell launches new Toasted Cheddar Chalupa

I so want to go get one!!

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/taco-bell-launches-new-toasted-cheddar-chalupa-200819463.html

Taco Bell is gracing fans around the world with a new menu item: the Toasted Cheddar Chalupa. With 6-month aged sharp cheddar cheese baked into the taco shell, the creation is clearly an attempt to appeal to cheese lovers everywhere.

There is a distinct cheddar flavor to the Chalupa, but it isn’t overwhelming or overpowering. The lettuce, tomato, and sour cream do a good job balancing out the sharp cheddar and seasoned beef. Yahoo Finance did not taste test the chicken and steak versions. All will sell for $2.49.

“That was more impressive than I thought it was going to be,” Zack Guzman, host of Yahoo Finance’s YFi PM, said after taking a bite of the Toasted Cheddar Chalupa.

I always bought two taco supremes and two Meximelts and saved one Meximelt for a snack. Not fair.....

I like your icon... I'll have what your drinking to drown my sorrows!

Stop 1:. Liquor store for a sixer of big mouth Mickey's

Stop 2: The Bell for a sack of these bad boys

Return home and consume.

Going to work tomorrow will probably be a bitch??

This morning was a bit rough though.

I think the sixer of Mickeys was the main culprit.

I don't really like it, but like it's great for someone looking for something cheap and that can be eaten on the go. The fact it's so cheap is always a concern that looms in the back of my head.... How did they make all this for only $5? What's really in this?

It was awful. The tortilla was so freaking thin (like a raw eggroll) It was also stale and hard. The filling was cold.

I used to like their Burrito Supremes, but this was just nasty. I don't know if I'll go back. (I live in San Antonio, so it's full of taco joints) I always liked Taco Bell's value, but this was just awful.
