As a former Taco Bell employee, I used to get in trouble with my bosses for putting "too much beef" on the tacos. I said I won't put on so little that, if I got it, I'd be upset by, and they stopped having me prepare food. The stores themselves get punished for going through too much beef, it's upper upper management pinching pennies so tight nothing good can escape between.

[@roccy5735]

True

[@BW-dn7dy]

i was a closing manager for 5 years, they be the stingiest on any of the proteins, ive had far to many complaints from customers about to little meat and or workers not spreading the meat well enough in a burrito leaving half of the product without meat. its pitiful the amount of meat management tells u to use, one small scoop, at one point i had learned the scoop we were using was modified to hold less, the teeth were smooshed in abit cuz so many ppl werent tapping the scoop device to equalize the meat , often being 10-15 pounds over daily for beef thankfully. taco bell be one of worst places to go for food, its a clear rip off, i refuse to ever eat there. and ill tell anyone else the same. we went through so many general managers, around 4-5 in 5 years time.

[@DindellaTheDefender]

As someone who works at TacoBell, I feel the same way. It's been especially upsetting since TB started gradually removing items, even fan favorites, for whatever weird goals they've set for themselves. The Grillers? The Mexican Pizza? The Nachos Supreme?? And most of the dollar menu is also gone by now! I've been working at TB for almost 6 years and they've gradually taken the dollar menu away the entire time. I haven't seen enough people making a fuss about it, when I feel like people probably should be. Fast Food is supposed to be fast and affordable, and TB is following the trend of getting rid of the affordable aspect. People should be able to get their $1 Triple Layer Nachos, Mini Chicken Quesadilla, Mini Beef Quesadilla, Beefy Frito Burrito, and I'm sure I'm forgetting a few items we use to have. A handful of our regulars stopped coming after we stopped having those items, and sure we brought in a burrito to replace the Beefy Frito Burrito, but now that burrito is gone too!

For goodness sakes, they already cut their beef with wheat flour to thicken it up, and they are even reducing the amount they are putting on that! Literally didn't cost them more than a dollar to make that chalupa; including labor and expenses. I mean...everyone pretty much has low expectations for Taco Bell, so for them to not even meet people's non-expectations is actually both comical and depresso espresso.

As someone who used to work at taco bell, the meat situation is absolutely rediculous.

He stated that we can only give one scoop and to not over fill it, most of it is supposed to be lettuce, cheese, and tomato (in items with tomato). That’s rediculous, especially for chalupas!!!

@@brenspin its really not because most stores dont fill it all the way unless its the start of the shift 🤷‍♀️ i do know exactly what happened in his case though considering its happened a lot during some of my old shifts. The line workers (cooks) either ran out of beef entirely and used everything left in the beef pan and just slid it down without wanting to keep a wait for a beef refill and the topping worker decided to try and hide it with lettuce. Another option possible is that the grill filled only the front half of the scoop of accident, flopped it on and decided to just slide and distribute what was put on there, give farrrr less than the correct amount, and the topping person once again hid it with lettuce.

Facts, i've been making more tacos at home. infinitely taste better and more meat which wins. You can use hella lean beef and add a bit of msg and tomato paste and you already add a ton of flavor, throw some packet taco seasoning(or make yo own). Also lots of grocery stores have options for pre-made taco shells. They even have nacho cheese shells like taco bell does. (Which baking them in the oven taste miles better than the shells at taco bell) And maybe it's just personal but i'd rather have tomatoes and lettuce in my taco that have a bit more flavoring, even if it's just lightly salted or lime zest and a splash of lime. So much more layers of flavor and more food while still being healthier.

Taco Bell has really gone bad in the last couple of years, it all started whenever they changed their logo - they got rid of all the good menu items, keep making crappy new items to replace them, and the price is going up - I think it's just all yum! brands in general. Sad... taco bell used to be THE place to go to.

They just got rid of the dollar menu and made it the 1,2,5 thing like at McDonald’s. Sad to see it but they at least held that out for so long

[@NadaEspamo]

Last couple of years? I'm pushing 60. Taco Bell started going to shit a couple of decades ago. Every thing I ever liked is gone from the menu. Adios beef Meximelts. They can fake it with something else if they add something to it. It only costs about $23 for 4 of them. Nachos Mucho Grande? They never heard of it. They don't even put olives on the enchiritos anymore. Everything comes on these phoney baloney chalupa tortillas that are just a freaking flatbread on steroids. They suck. I won't set foot in another Taco Hell. Thank Dog for Taco Bueno.

[@blanejr1]

Stopped at Taco Bell last week for the first time in about a year or so. I got a assortment of items from hard and soft shell tacos, 5 layer burrito, nachos, and a crunch wrap supreme. It was all junk! It all looked like your Chalupa, with almost no beef and tasted terrible too. I went to feed it to my dogs but thought better of it as it wasn't even that good for them.

[@cream2406]

[@lovelybones8179]

The trick is to get no lettuce or tomato. Without those fillings, most of the time the crew feels bad and they'll throw more meat in there for you. I used to work at Taco Bell and it's only one scoop on a normal item. I'm telling you. Don't get the veggies if you want more meat. Also. The Chipotle sauce is legit the best part. Tip: Order a side of Chipotle and use it for everything. It's freaking amazing. They've had that since they had the grillers. You dont have to deal with the crappy portion sizes they try to give you. There's ways around it, I promise lol

Can't do this in fast food chains but this is why you ask an employee what they love. Ask a waiter sometimes and you will get good insight on the menu items. All employees know what is dank or not so consulting them honestly is the best advice if you are trying someplace new. Employees can make dank fast food, for themselves.

Me and my brother used to get taco bell roughly once a week. We gave up at the start of December and have started going anywhere else instead. Not getting enough meat or cheese is frustrating, but that's not even my biggest gripe. Menu items getting made wrong, or custom items getting outright ignored, that's our local branch's specialty. And not just "sometimes", we've had to get our order fixed almost every single time for the last year. A whole year of black bean tacos having beef on them, a whole year of chalupas with no lettuce being 90% lettuce, a whole year of "my cravings box is missing the main entree". It's just so incredibly frustrating when most fast food places almost never get something wrong, and taco bell almost always gets something wrong.

[@doctormaverious332]

I ordered a steak chalupa once, it was one of those craving boxes, and I got a ground beef one instead. And even then, the ground beef one had hardly any beef. It took them a while to replace it, so I had to sit there while my other two menu items got cold. I didn't have the luxury of just eating there since I had to get a few things home.

[@MdnightWnd]

I dunno.... almost every single time I go to McDonald's or KFC they get something wrong too. It's been so much worse since the pandemic. It's like the workers care even less.

I have experienced this with Taco Bell on numerous occasions through the years. My chief complaints are the actual size of the items and the tragically small amount of ground beef and cheese that they put in the items. I have to believe that the TV ads employ unknown actors who are very small in stature. So when they hold an item, it looks really impressive.

Taco Bell's quality has been dropping like a stone, while prices have gone up a lot around where I live. $2 for a bean burrito the size of a sharpie pen doesn't sit the right way. Every time I ask for any item to be removed or added, they forget. Meanwhile, I live in an area with Del Taco, where it's all way cheaper, and for some reason they give you better portions and can actually make the changes you ask for. Makes me sad because I used to love Taco Bell so much. EDIT: To clarify, they could have either kept the prices, and lacked quality, or upped prices and kept quality. They did neither. What's the point of them anymore? Seems like many other chains understand this basic premise.

I used to work at Taco Bell, albeit that was almost 20 years ago, but when I worked there, they used a certain long kind of scoop to put the beef on.

Maybe they did take all the policies to heart. 🤣we’re supposed to weigh at least one item after every order but when you get hit with 2 party packs in the same order and the next cars have 15 items or more and the location you work at only has 2 on the line and 1 in drive and 1 doing prep and going to the window it’s pretty difficult to weigh the first item of every order and maintain our goal of 3 mins and 30 seconds. 🤣I have to say I’m the second fastest at my location(the fastest being our rgm), sometimes you start to run out of beef and don’t feel like taking an extra 15 seconds to move the pan dats running out and get a new pan of beef from the heating cabinet and placing it there til after all the orders r gone.

Yeah but this started a bit before the pandemic with taco bell. They removed staple items from their menu, increased all their prices and cut the size in half. This will be the demise of taco bell. It's not the same anymore, and I don't see them reversing their new "no meat" beef taco policies.

I can't believe I'm sitting here watching someone eat a chalupa...and it's actually entertaining. Great channel. Subscribed.

I commented this the last time you reviewed Taco Bell and will do it again. The problem with Taco Bell is that it depends a lot on who cooks it, that they portion the ingredients well and cook it well, and since it is usually a newly hired teenager under a lot of pressure it is awfully inconsistent. Sometimes it tastes incredible, others ok, and other times it is completely disgusting.

Seems like a fast food type that would lend itself to almost full automated preparation

[@donhenry7930]

You are absolutely right. I have went to Taco Bell and got huge tacos and then other times not so much. It's not like they're setting a Patty on top of a bun and squeezing a little ketchup on it.

@@LGguedo we are from machine assisted fast food places on a large scale such as taco bell. it's one thing to implement kiosks to remove workers from taking orders and taking change at registers but to have machines assist in making is an entire production level that no fast food chain could afford. yeah Japan has been able to do something like that but the return investment is unclear and much smaller in scale

That’s most, if not all, fast food. Also depends on if younger something actually made fresh , or at least to order, then it can be fine but many places have food sit around waiting to be tossed at a customer who will enjoy their rubbery burger that tastes like it’s been out for 3 days and like it. It’s the fast food gamble. It’ll rarely be consistent. Even nicer places that are more expensive, like a Triple O’s can still fuck things up. But I’ve had better consistency at such places. But again, pricey.

[@DiamondPugs]

@@elvickRULES Sort of, there will always be some things that depend a lot on the skill of the person who made it, but food chains try to make sure it can be as consistent as possible regardless of who made it. Taco Bell is the one I find the most inconsistent.

This makes me grateful for my local Taco Bell. They are always generous with the seasoned beef in the crunchy tacos ( the only item I order with beef) shout out to the Gilroy CA Taco Bell employees lol I appreciate u

[@BionicKraken]

I had this experience the other day buying a cheesy gordita crunch. Was stale and had almost no meat on it and I had what tasted like a full tomato and a whole head of lettuce packed into it. I feel like Taco Bell and Buffalo Wild Wings specifically fall into this category of "well people will buy it either way so who cares?" That sucks because I like Taco Bell and want it to be better. Same goes for BWW, their atmosphere is fun and it's a fun place to go eat and drink, but because they know their customers will just shove anything down their throats they don't put in more effort to make the food better.

I discovered your channel after watching Elvis the Alien's video (and then his apology video). I'm glad I did. You're great! One issue I have with Taco Bell is their inconsistency in how their food is prepared. Depending upon the time of day, they will sometimes give you generous portions of food--and other times, they are severely lacking. I get the spicy potato tacos, but I replace the chipotle sauce with nacho cheese sauce. It's great. But sometimes they will have too few potatoes and/or too much lettuce. I wonder if it's an issue of the person preparing it incorrectly. Anyway, you're a breath of fresh air. Keep up everything you're doing (as if you need my encouragement)!

At 5:45 you can see him look at that "item" in his hands and shift his mind into Savage mode. I almost sat my phone down and turned away from his wrath but decided I must bear witness.

[@NeillWylie]

This review just feels to me like it is full of openness and honesty. Great review, I really enjoyed it.
