Mexican Pizza returns to Taco Bell this week

Are you prepared

Do you have enough toilet paper on hand ?

LMK When they have the Rancho Steak Burrito

[crayzkirk]

All restaurants are Taco Bell!

I couldn't even tell you the last time I ate at one or where the closest one is to my house.

Taco Bell says changes have been made to the menu item behind the scenes: They've streamlined operations to keep kitchens moving quickly, altered their ingredient sourcing, and tweaked the packaging to leave a lighter footprint.

Wondering how it will be different?

Now, on to the Enchirito please...in the original foil container with three olives.

So has anyone tried these new 2022 Mexican Pizzas?

[Chieftain]

Big mistake by Taco Bell to take it off their menu in the first place.

Taco Bell is testing two new Mexican Pizza varieties

Taco Bell is spinning up new varieties of its popular Mexican Pizza.

The chain revealed that it’s testing two new types of the beloved menu item, which came back in May following a two-year absence because of pandemic-induced menu changes. For the unfamiliar, the Mexican Pizza consists of a flat, crispy tortilla covered with pizza sauce and either beans or ground beef. It’s topped with another tortilla that’s smothered with more sauce, a blend of cheeses and chopped tomatoes.

In Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, the chain will sell a Cheesy Jalapeño Mexican Pizza that is described in a press release as “cheesier and spicier.” This new version is topped with nacho cheese sauce and spicy jalapeño slices and is priced between $4.99 and $5.49 depending on the restaurant.

And in Omaha, Nebraska, customers can try a Triple Crunch Mexican Pizza, which has three layers instead of the usual two. Taco Bell said that the “more to love” version also has twice the beans and beef. It costs $5.99.

Both pizzas go on sale beginning December 22 for a limited time.

Fast-food chains must constantly compete for customers’ dollars and attention, and specialty offerings are a way to try to cut through the noise. Taco Bell, in particular, regularly experiments with its menu by adding limited-time offers to stimulate customer interest.

In particular, the Mexican Pizza has been an enormous success for the chain. When the item returned in May, it sold out quickly and caused the company to pull it from menus for about three months until it had enough ingredients for it to return.

Taco Bell said that during its initial run, it sold 20 million Mexican Pizzas across the country, and attributed growth in loyalty membership to customers’ desire for early access to the product.

Sales at Taco Bell locations open at least a year jumped 6% in the third quarter compared to the prior year, according to parent company Yum Brands, which also owns KFC and Pizza Hut.

The Cantina Taco $5 Lunchbox was the greatest thing Taco Bell ever did, ever, in the ever history of Taco Bell.

Amazingly tasty Cantina Taco, Chalupa, Crunchy Taco, Chips N Cheese and a Soda for $5.

Bring that shit back and then i'll be impressed.

Keep trying to push them nasty ass Nacho Fries and they'll continue watching me take my business elsewhere.

Taco Bell's Mexican pizza is one of my favorite fast food items. Of course I can't remember the last time I actually ate any fast food.

I haven’t met a single person who enjoys their nacho fries. Must have a market somewhere to keep bring them back tho.

I like the Mexican Pizza but it’s not my fav. My fav used to be the Gordita Crunch, unfortunately they aren’t as good as they used to be.

The only item from Taco Bell I ever loved was the Southwest Baja Steak Gordita. It was unbelievable. Steak fresh and real pieces of steak, the corn, cilantro, salsa, cheese, lettuce were fresh as hell.

I think they were like $1.99 or $2.49 each in 2004. I would buy 4 or 5 and nothing else.

I've been to Taco Hell maybe 5-6 times in the last 15 years. Do not like.
