I was driving right by there yesterday, so I stopped. Was curious
about their $1.00 tacos so I bought 2 of them.

My review (keep in mind I like just about anything), is that they
are tasty enough. To compare, I'll have to try a couple of Taco
Bell tacos first. Been a very long time since I've gone there.

Anyway, these do have a nice taste but they're not pretty or
full. Don't be fooled by any burger king picture. Just a little
nicely seasoned beef in the fold, some picante sauce, and just
the smallest amount of lettuce that I've ever seen. The taco
shell is crispy only because it's mostly empty! lol

I do plan to try a taco bell one soon, just to compare.

I've seen those ads and to me the BK taco doesn't look like all that.
It's been a long time since I ate a Taco Bell taco, too. My recall of
them was a miniscule amount of meat cooked in powdered seasoning mix
with a whole lot of shredded iceburg lettuce on top. They look full,
but they really aren't. I think Taco Bell tortillas are probably Ortega
brand. LOL

Look at that Burger King commercial again. That taco is all shell.
Being a taco lover myself, I watched that commercial carefully. You
have just confirmed my assessment. Thx

I had my very first Taco Bell taco this last winter and thankfully
it wasn't as you experienced. It was pretty good and I've thought
about going back but never have.

I have to wonder why Burger King is even trying to sell tacos. It
doesn't make any sense. And you're right, Janet. That ad shows a
rather pitiful looking mostly empty shell. It's not even a good looking
crispy corn tortilla shell, IMHO.

Thanks Gary for trying it out. I wouldn't have.

My first taste of a Taco Bell taco was when we lived in Vista, CA. Back
in 1966. Nicely spicy. Mom ordered them for me without the lettuce.
Shredded cheese. They were still mostly empty when the lettuce was
subtracted.

When I was into fast foods, I really liked the Taco Hell Chicken Soft Taco. Who knows, I might still enjoy them. Too much sodium though; health reasons.

I think BK is offering tacos because Mexican.Tex-Mex food is currently
most popular in U.S. All the fast food places are in trouble and are
snitching ideas from other franchise outfits. Everybody has a chicken
sandwich now. Everybody puts bacon and fried onion rings on
hamburgers, etc.

These tacos are actually quite brilliant. They make it possible for a burger joint to easily sell this Mesican item. The frozen shells are put in the fry oil and the shell is crisped and the filling is cooked at the same time.. These units cook so fast that they can be made to order. All that's needed is to add some lettuce and chopped tomato - items that are already on hand.

Unfortunately, the filling has to be in a form that doesn't float away into the fry oil so it's kind of a weird pasty substance. I'm hoping that the filling can be changed to some kind of artificial meat material because it's likely that would be an improvement. The main difference is that the BK taco shell seems to have some wheat flour in it while the JitB, does not. Other than that, it's a toss-up between which fry oil you like better.

Taco bell uses filler in the meat. They don't appeal to me.

When we lived in NY, they had tacos at Burger King for some time. They were
not good as tacos go but for me, they were better than anything else BK
sold. I'm not a burger lover though.

Currently, only some BK's have tacos. I know they are in PA. We don't have
them here.

I like their bean burritos but they are easily re-created at home. Also like
their nacho fries when they have them. Don't care for anything else on the
menu.

I don't remember when we got our first Taco Bell here. The menu was limited,
the food was cheap, but small and not filling. It did taste good. I could be
wrong but I don't think they put filler in the beef back then. I think they
use oats now.

i like Taco Bell soft shell steak tacos, they have
a cilantro/mayo sauce that i really like on those. their
regular tacos are gross and i'd not have them.

won't bother with a BK taco ever unless they do something
similar to a steak soft shell taco.

Ah, but I probably won't! The nearest Burger King is on the other
side of town. I'd be willing if it was near someplace I go on a regular
basis but I'm not willing to make a special trip just to try a fake meat
burger. Sorry!

I like Taco Bell. My wife doesn't. I liked their now extinct
enchiritos. Not a enchilada and not a burrito but something in-between.
I like their chalupas. They're a taco filling in a thin flatbread with
a dab of sour cream. Their menu is confusing to someone who eats there
rarely. That'd be me.

I like the Ortega Medium. That's found here.
I'll have to look for the San Marcos.

Not surprised. You have a habit of talking cheap then backing out

Enchiritos aren't totally extinct. At least not at all Taco Bells. (I
like them too by the way). They aren't on the menu, but are still
available if you ask for them (if you ask the right person.) Lots of
fast food retaurants have items that are not on the menu--you just have
to know about them.

Yeah. My mom ordered a cheesy roll up. I knew she wouldn't like it. She
didn't. Not sure what she thought she was ordering.

They should change the name of their Gorditas because those are actually a
thing in Mexican food. Just not that.

Here you have to order at a kiosk. That wouldn't be an option.

Sounds like you're still ticked off because I haven't tried your split
pea soup.

I haven't ordered anything from a fast food place in over a decade. I
did comment on the television ads for BK's fake meat burger (Impossible
Whopper) and offer the opinion that the best way to actually tell if it
tastes like meat is to order one *plain*. I stand by that statement.
But no, I'm not driving miles out of my way to try one.

Thank you, Julie. I don't see much reason to drive miles out of the way
just to try fake hamburger.

I wouldn't either but then I'm in a big city so unless it's a regional
chain, we probably have it here.

Probably the most common fast food in our house is KFC. Thats about
every 2-3 months. Dominos runs about 3 times a year.

I don't think there is anything wrong though with getting fast food
when it makes sense. Used to do it a fair amount in my last 18 months
of active duty. I worked shifts that were 13-14 hours long
(technically called 12hrs but turnover took a bit). At 2am, there is
little open so we'd spare off a person to make a run. I think it was
McDonalds that had a really good roasted chicken ceasar salad?
Probably my favorite is a whopper Jr Cheeseburger.

Me either. I don't drive far for food unless it's an ingredient I need for
some dish I'm making.

Before I'd drive miles for an ingredient I'd change my menu... and I
can usually find ingredients not available at local stores at
Amazon... delivered right to my door for free. It's extremely rare
that I can't find any item at Amazon.

That's true for most locations, specialty beans and specialty rice is
very often not available at local stores... however in most cases
Amazon has it. A while back no local store carried white peppercorns.
only already ground in tiny quantities. Amazon had excellent white
peppercorns:

Actually I do believe she'd drive several miles to purchase say a
bottle of soy sauce.... lots of people do as a lame excuse to get out
of their house for a few hours.

Some people like to shop. They will go out to stores just to look to see
what there is to buy. No one in their right mind goes any great
distance just to get one item. Hell, I won't even drive 20 miles to
Costco for just one thing. I need to have enough items I need in order
to make the trip. However, if I were down that way for something else, I
might drop by. Latino stuff is hard to find around here, but there is a
Latino store in a nearby city. I make mental notes of what I
need to pick up there. It is on the way to my son's house, so I am
visiting him I will try to remember to stop by and get what I need and
maybe stock up on things I may need in the near future.
