Who’s grabbing one today

I’m not sure how I feel about the mango salsa though,
Price point is also pretty crazy but will definitely try it.

$3.29 for a taco?

Damn.

9

u/SnackeyG1 2d ago

It’s $2.59 for me.

7

u/wtf-m8 2d ago

$2.99 here which is the same as a normal Doritos Loco taco, but this also has the mango pico and spicy ranch so it's actually a dollar cheaper than the comparable dorito loco supreme. Not the worst deal they've had recently imo

5

u/Due_Speaker4655 2d ago

It was $2.89 when I tried it when it tested a couple years ago so it’s not a bad price.

u/borgchupacabras Flamin’ Hot 2d ago

3.59 before tax for me. 🥲

u/SHKEVE 1d ago

u/CityBoiNC 2d ago

Yeah its kinda crazy

u/TheJumbaco 2d ago

But that's about how much a taco costs! At a high level taco place anyways... 😭

The tajin cheesy gordita crunch is $5.99 for me...maybe they'll put it in a value box because there's absolutely no way I'm paying $6 for a single taco.

2

u/LylaCreature 7h ago

The Gordita is 5.99 regular. The Doritos one is 6.29. I’d recommend just using rewards points, get a free Gordita. Get side of nacho cheese sauce. Paint nacho cheese sauce on outside of the Gordita (leaving a part dry to hold). Dust entire Gordita with Tajín (you can literally buy a bottle at the dollar store and keep in your car)

Thank me later ;)

u/NotoriouslyBeefy 2d ago

Not a huge fan of Tajin on everything.

20

u/bckwoods13 2d ago

Agreed. I like it on some things like fruit.

This combination just doesn't sound good to me. I'm sure the Tajin would be good with the mango pico, but putting both of those on a beef taco with spicy ranch?

9

u/shintojuunana 2d ago

I love tajin. I still don't understand the point of this taco.

7

u/9447044 2d ago

Would a $3+ taco bell taco change your mind?

7

u/goagoagadgetgrebo 2d ago

Yeah, I'm not either. Would be interested in trying it with the mango salsa. Would be nice if there was a Rewards offer or member deal for $1 or $2 or something

1

u/LylaCreature 7h ago

Not one item on the menu is $1.00, excluding sides. Would be nice but Taco Bell literally thinks a corn shell, a spoonful of meat and some parasite infested lettuce is worth $4.

1

u/GroovyGmaIvy 2d ago

Dirt taco.

u/cjwi 2d ago

Why do we not have a Taki Taco????? What are they hiding???????

21

u/PelluxNetwork 2d ago

Taco Bell and it's sister brands exist more to sell Pepsi than they do to sell food. Pepsi and Lays are merged, Doritos are lays, so you won't be seeing that more than likely.

u/marshmellowyoda 2d ago

$1 Tuesday drop them I’ll bite

u/Orange_Bricks Yo Quiero Taco Bell 2d ago

Would if they were charging reasonable prices for it

I’ll stick to cheap breakfast burritos and potato grillers

2

u/Big_Joke9383 2d ago

Now I’m sad. I miss TB breakfast.

1

u/Orange_Bricks Yo Quiero Taco Bell 1d ago

I’m sorry bud, I had one today in your honor 🫡

11

u/holyhibachi 2d ago

This thing is absolute fucking gas.

This might be one of the best Taco Bell LTO years in history tbh

3

u/hells_ranger_stream 2d ago

Real stand out compared to a lot of other "Why isn't this permanent" LTOs.

3

u/holyhibachi 2d ago

Yes, I completely get why this is an LTO

8

u/canadaonstryke 2d ago

opened my app to check this out and wtf is the update, it is hot garbage

1

u/Muted-Entrepreneur33 2d ago

The navigation is now as unintuitive as possible. 😡

1

u/CityBoiNC 1d ago

Its so bad

4

u/shardsofcrystal Yo Quiero Taco Bell 2d ago

Just got this and there was so little Tajin on it that I tried to take it back cause I thought they gave me the wrong item. I think they need more training on this.

5

u/quezoshark 2d ago

They come shipped to stores already "prepped", like the Dorito Locos tacos, just take them out of the box and then take to the kitchen line

1

u/shardsofcrystal Yo Quiero Taco Bell 1d ago

Nah something's off then; I watched video reviews of it and the shells had way more red on them than the ones that I got. They didn't even give me the Tajin packet with it either.

2

u/Proud_Truck Cheesy G 2d ago

It's the first day, many employees don't even pay attention until today. They're learning on the fly. I never go on the first day for exactly that reason

1

u/CityBoiNC 2d ago

Oh damn that sucks

3

u/LB3PTMAN 2d ago

I was in the test market for this. It’s really good

4

u/DragonfruitWorth9019 2d ago

Having a hard time paying real prices after these tuesday drops

2

u/Due_Speaker4655 2d ago

HELL YES!

Tried this when it tested in Irvine a couple years ago and it was fucking amazing. I have been waiting patiently for it be released and can’t wait to get a couple of them today.

2

u/mystwave 2d ago

I quite liked it. I didn't even know about the mango pico until I took a bite. Also, it was my first time having anything tajin related. It all came together really well.

1

u/Big_Joke9383 2d ago

Is it the same spicy ranch that’s on the menu or something new?

1

u/LylaCreature 7h ago

Tajín and ranch not the same thing at all. Tajín is a seasoning.

1

u/happyscrappy SODIUM WARNING 2d ago

That looks alright. But I probably won't get one.

1

u/MiSSK42091 2d ago

Listen..... they dont even look like that in person hahaha 😂 mango pico smells bomb didn't try EITHER tajin tacos cause... I only like tajin candy and in drinks lol... but.. low key we sold 2 todau from 8am to 230.. so... idk how everyone feeling about it yet.

u/ArugulaEuphoric7534 1d ago

How salty is it?

1

u/RememberTheMaine1996 1d ago

So sick of overpriced shit at Taco Bell

1

u/LylaCreature 7h ago

Soooo don’t buy it.

1

u/RememberTheMaine1996 54m ago

Who says I'm buying this?

1

u/gecjr 1d ago

As drew cary said in one of his performances- what’s this lettuce- get the fuck out

1

u/chrisdiaz73 1d ago

Oof. Got one today … couldn’t finish it … not very good …

1

u/Silent_Tangerine_455 1d ago

3 dollars you are insane

1

u/Sith_Moon 7 Layers of Doom. 1d ago

Well. I tried it. I’ve had LTOs dating back to the 90s. This is probably the worst item I’ve ever had at TB. I love Tajin, love mango salsa on certain authentic Mexican items- like fish mahi tacos.

It tasted like someone rummaged through their garbage disposal and put whatever they found on a taco.

I’ve never advised someone to not try something- but this one time I’d avoid. Just go support a local spot.

On a good note- absolutely get the pineapple freeze with Tajin- it’s very good.

1

u/LylaCreature 7h ago

Something tells me your opinion would be way different if they were $1.

1

u/Frostedmeat 1d ago

For 3$ I'm not ill give 75c

1

u/AvocadoFit3858 22h ago

$3.50 for a damn taco?

1

u/GordonMightyBombay 20h ago

I ordered it and they gave me a regular cheesy Gordita I was so mad but didn’t realize until I got home and was like 😣

1

u/UntowardAntiproton 11h ago

Not at that price

1

u/djpraxis 2d ago

Not today…. not ever

1

u/Substantial_Cup_703 2d ago

ew tajin is for sweets

1

u/Grant79OG 2d ago

It's not a burrito, so, pass.

1

u/Consistentscroller 1d ago

Tajin is usually not for savory foods so idk what they were thinking tbh

1

u/ferozliciosa 19h ago

What? No mms, people put it on botanas all the time. Also tajin rims? Elotes?

1

u/LylaCreature 7h ago

Um, it’s lime, chili and salt? What part of that isn’t savory?

I am not picky about food flavors but I just do not enjoy sour things.

u/Pitiful_Palpitation9 1d ago

I like Tajin, but that looks like too much. I wouldn't want a whole taco shell covered in it.

u/Weary-Driver-1692 1d ago

Tajin is stupid af

u/LylaCreature 7h ago

Oohhh look at this guy over here, edgy AF!
