The Enchirito was the best thing they ever had and they killed it
It was my favorite
A truer statement I cannot recall.
It still lives on in Texas at Taco Casa!
@@djzazou wow!! Nice!
Ditto!
So we're just going to pretend
that the Mexican Pizza
& the XX Large Grilled Stuft Burrito
never existed....?????
Not for me. My very last visit to TB was the day the XXL disappeared from the menu. Anything that actually has more than two pieces of meat in it are gone so so am I.
Thank you!!!
or green sauce
pepsi bot tb and kfc and have fk'd both of them up
@@Mr00934
F*ck!!!!
I thought "Yum Brands"
was separate. Had no idea
it was part of Pepsi.😡😡😡
The enchirito and the chili cheese burrito were the bomb and need to come back.
The chili cheese burrito is still around at some locations, at least in Colorado. I load them up with sour cream 😋.
Yes!
I'm going to Colorado, getting super blown and ordering 10 chilli cheese burritos!
Every ohio taco bell has chili cheese burritos if your passin through fyi
@@mycoboto thanks, I miss the chili cheese burrito for sure
regarding the chili cheese burrito i would go to your local taco bells and just ask for it... they are on some menus and some not but they have always made them for me regardless
Enchirito bring it back! Taco Bell was so good in the 1970’s they sold out to cheaper stuff that doesn’t taste nearly as good now
You can have my share. 😵😵😵
Try Taco Bueno. Pretty much old school Taco Bell .
Totally agree!!
Agreed!!! I miss old school Taco Bell
So many people miss the encharito. I'm surprised they won't at least consider bringing it back from time to time.
Sadly, Taco Bell discontinues everything good.
12 menu changes a year they cant keep literally everything man
So true!
AMEN! I loved their Taco Salad (~2000). I remember getting 5 Tacos for a Buck in 1964
I know right?
The encharito
Taco Bell saved my life for nearly 15 years when I was broke. Prob not the healthiest but damn, it kept me alive during those dark days.
and now...their prices are ridiculous. actually, all fast food prices are.
@@toddinthemiddle agreed. Not even the homeless can afford to eat that garbage anymore. I learned a long time ago I can make all that fast food stuff at home for more than half the cost and nowhere as bad for me. Aint gonna lie fast food is good but ain't worth all that money for processed lab made "food".
@@vectorhold6489 I'm with you on that. When people work 80+ hours a week and don't have the drive to cook, what other options besides takeout?
@@toddinthemiddle You can buy an 8pack of frozen hot dogs for 1$
As well as Arizona 680ml/23fl oz for 1$
At the dollar tree.
If you're homeless, all you need really is 1-2$ a day to survive if you know where to look.
Fast food is only slightly cheaper than going to a restaurant, and I think it's fair since then the employees can make a higher wage, and also fast food is unhealthy.
Still love eating it tho lol.
I used to work at the Taco Bell in Woodland Park Colorado from 2006-2008 and we sold/served chili cheese burritos during my entire tenure there and they were somewhat popular (30-50 sold a day normally). Of course crunchy/soft tacos and bean burritos were by far our highest selling items followed by quesadillas, burrito supremes, dollar menu burritos, nacho supreme, crunchwraps, 7-layer burritos, the occasional tostadas, then finally overpriced items such as Mexican Pizzas, grilled stuffed burritos, nacho bell grandes, and taco salads but I'd put chili cheese burritos right behind 7-layer burritos in regards to popularity.
One widowed old man would come in every day at 10am (the minute we opened) and would almost always order a chili cheese burrito and 2 crunchy tacos with a senior drink, I bet he came in 5 days a week regularly, could tell he was depressed about life but I made damn sure to make his food well and knew he liked lots of lettuce on his tacos and half-red sauce on his chili cheese burrito. I would also add onions free of charge for him because he liked them.
You're a good man for that.
My father complained up to his death about them discontinuing the Bell Beefer. We couldn't get through a Taco Bell commercial or even say Taco Bell without having him mention it. He was very picky about his food. It was hard to find something he liked. And then have them take it away he gets so bad. Same thing with a McDonalds mcdlt. Where the hot side was hot in the cold side was cold. Couldn't go through McDonald's without him mentioning that.
My younger brother was a very picky eater. He only ever wanted steak and green beans, and it had to be a specific brand of string beans. The rest of us were more adventurous eaters. The Bell Beefer made it possible for us to go to Taco Bell without him pouting, or throwing a screaming fit.
I wish that Taco Bell would bring back The Bell Beefer, and the classic Enchirito.
I worked at a Taco Bell decades ago when they had the Bell Beefer. Basically it was the taco meat, red sauce, some cheese and onions, and shredded lettuce if you wanted, in a hamburger bun we kept warm in a steamer cabinet. They could have resurrected it at any time by putting hamburger buns back in their inventory. I doubt they would do that now, because of their "think beyond the bun" campaign. If they did reintroduce the item, it wouldn't be the same. The taco meat, and other ingredients, were better back then. The taco meat now is more like dog food. Put that in a hamburger bun and you'll probably throw-up.
I'm with your dad ! When my kids were little, I would buy Taco Bell sauce and make bell burgers(that's what we called em) they loved em and so did their friends.
I remember the Enchirito. It was delicious. More recently, I miss the Mexican pizza.
todd, I'd make my own personal pan Mexican pizza, since I'm dabbling in convenient Mexican cooking
@@staceyking7911 I don't think it would be too hard. Two hard tostada shells, layered with beans, cheese, chile sauce, meat, baked in oven.
@@mrtodd3620 thx for the simple recipe anyway
@@MrAlissahk97 Yes, exactly. They were different somehow, much lighter and crispier.
Volcano taco was good
I miss the Caramel Apple Empanadas. That was by far my favorite dessert on the menu. It’s a shame they got rid of it. I wish they would of gotten rid of the Cinnamon Twist instead. I’m not a big fan of those.
They got rid of them? I just thought they didn't carry them in the Southwest. I know the Midwest had them.
@@simonalyneenderz3247 I think it happened back in 2019 and it happened nationwide.
Same wtf those were the best
I was waiting for someone to mention it. That was my favorite dessert. I'd always order 2....
I agree! Bring back those empanadas!
Patrick Duffy pitching the Enchirito!
I saw that too!🙌 J.R. made little brother work at a Taco Bell!! That SOB!😡🤬
Thank you. I thought he looked familiar ....
@@scottfeuerhammer3595 Who shot J.R. in 1980? Forget Kristen; it was Bobby for having been forced into Taco Bell Labor as "training" for Ewing Oil!
@@scottfeuerhammer3595J. R. may have made Bobby work at Taco Bell but Bobby now has the money to buy the whole franchise !!!🤗 Let J. R. deal with the oil !!! By the way, quite some time has passed but R. I. P. Larry Hagman.
The taco pizza and the Mexi melt were my favorite.
Mexi melts aren't hard to make. Find a good pico de gallo and the rest is easy.
Back in the day I ordered 12 mexi-melts and that was a good night!
Enchurritos!! They were SO good!
BRING BACK THE ENCHRITO!
you can still order it at my taco bell
In Texas we have Taco Casa, which is the original menu of 1970s Taco Bell! Even has a chili burger and a chilada (enchirito)
There are a couple of Taco Casas in Alabama too and I LOVE it. So much better than Taco Bell.
I only recently learned of the awesomeness of Taco Casa...when I saw they had the Taco Light, I knew I was home!!!!
I like Taco Casa but sometimes it's way too greasy, like there's actually a pool of grease on the inside of the wrapper dripping out. I wrote to their corporate about it, hopefully that particular location learned how to drain the excess grease from their meat.
@@bengonzales1182 Don't be a party pooper ffs!
Not in all tx taco casa is an abomination
my mouth watered the instant i saw that enchirito
They need to bring the Bell Beefer back as a box item with Nacho Fries.
Yoooo
Miss the Bell Beefer Deluxe!
You're a genius
Can we get love for the tostadas? They were simple, yet delicious! 😋
Did they discontinue those too??? Pretty soon they’ll take tacos off the menu.
I hate the current Taco Bell even more than I hate McDonalds. I wish people would boycott them and go elsewhere.
Just made them for lunch today..yummy..
Yes especially the beefy tostada! It also was killed damn!
Del taco has them now 😔
@@selenafiore6193 Del Taco is way better than Taco Bell anyway...especially the location in Barstow, CA.
Bring back the original enchirito!
The 59/79/99 menu was great, I ate there 3 times a week, spent about $10.
The biggest lost IMO was when they dropped their Verde Salsa packets in 2016. It was available in bottles until recently, but now even those are scarce.
Aka green sauce, I agree, I loved it
They still sell it at my grocery store
You can still get it but they come in little cups and depending where u at if they charge for that or not
Bring back the Enchrito and the Mexican pizza!!!
I really liked the Mexican pizza
Yes!
Agreed, but also the double decker tacos.
YES!!!!
Double Decker as well
I want the toastada back. Making the menu basic, sucks
Same bud..
Wonder if they should make the McDonald's menu basic again, just like it was in the 1980s. Or even the pre-chicken mcnuggets basic menu of the 1970s and early 80s (mcnuggets started in 1983)
I want a tostada as well.
As a teen in the late 1970s I worked at a Taco Bell in Colorado. My favorite items on their menu were the Enchirito and their spicy green salsa.
Yes! People not from Colorado have no idea what im talking about when I say i lived on bean burritos "spicy" and that meant with the green sauce. I miss that. Lol
Narrator: “Crunchwrap Supreme is the most popular Taco Bell item of all time…”
Mexican Pizza: “Say what, now..?”
Encharito: Am I a JOKE TO YOU!!??
No the Double Decker Taco was the Best
Meximelt: c'mon man!;
She's just saying what sold the most. The Mexican pizza Double decker taco can't handle being in second and third place of sold popularity. Come on, you guys, don't be a frickin sore loser, you're still good. What do they have to say in return?
Mexican pizza and doubledecker taco: "Winning isn't everything. It's the only thing" (mental note: they should name most sold item the Lombardi taco)
@@awilson816aw Crunchwrap supreme: "Yes, you are. I'm the shit!"
😂
Born in '85. Chili cheese burrito was a staple of my adolescent years! I still crave it to this day!
The OG Enchirito was great! It had a special soft cornflour tortilla, and had black olives. They were really good! Also, oddly enough, the Bell Beefer really tasted unique, more you can imagine, they were really good too! I know they just used the same ingredients from the taco, but on their steam heated buns, the taste was good! :)
Taco Bell dropped the Enchirito so I dropped Taco Bell. Haven't been back since.
Taco Bell’s story is amazing though I made a vid on the founder
The Smothered Burrito from a few years back was sort of like it but huge. Loved them. Like Mexican food for the winter.
You can still get it, just have to be creative
Damn that’s a long time.
Same with the mexican pizza 4 me
Enchirito was the best item TB ever had!! Bring it back.
If they do, it will have that fake meat Soy slurry and a ton of dry flavorless rice!
It was really good.
The beefy tostada supreme bring those back!! 70s and 80s staple of taco bell 🔔
The Enchirito was great. They brought it back for a brief time, but it wasn't the same, or as good as the original version.
Remember when they had green sauce enchirito in addition to the red? Remember the black olives?! All of it was so delicious! Up until 2019 I could still special order an enchirito near my work, too. They won't do that anymore. 😱😭
No cheesy potatoes
No Mexican Pizza
No Beef and/or Bean Enchirito
They've removed my primary menu items and I haven't been back since.
@@mynocturnallife I remember the green sauce, but I preferred the red. Stick to you guns Kelly. I have switched to Dell Taco, for that style of taco. We have plenty of small Mexican markets near us that have Taco Tuesday. Ten street tacos for ten dollars. We look forward to them each week.
They changed everything. Kinda horrible now. I think all this happened when Pepsi got involved
@B.J. Banditt The Del Taco in Barstow, CA is fantastic. It’s the oldest operating Del Taco location, and considered their flagship location. I go there whenever I can.
Ew imagine liking OLIVES 😷
The chili cheese burrito was THE BEST ITEM EVER
This is a depressing video. Taco Bell had so many great items. It's very sad what they did to the menu in 2020. We haven't gone back. Bring back the Mexi-melt, Mexican Pizza, Enchirito, and the chili cheese burrito. The cost-cutting items like adding rice to every burrito is sad. I remember the 1980s and how much "meat" we got in all the burritos. Those were good times.
Yeah, I hate rice n I'm a vegetarian so they've left me little to choose from
Bring back the chili cheese burrito!! It was a huge seller yet they canned it..why!?!?! Not very good business choices ruined Taco Hell!
The Mexican pizza and the meximelt were my hands down favorite items of TB. I was so devastated when they were both discontinued. Haven’t gone back much ever since.
All of those and the taco salad 😪
Mexi-Melt!!!
Worked there in the early 1980s. The menu was better then. Also, the green sauce (which we did not make, it came in tins) rocked.
Green sauce was the best!!!
Patrick Duffy, yeah I'm old😆
Me too lol
Patrick Duffy, even the dastardly J.R. Ewing
wouldn't spend his easy dishonestly earned dollars on the now varmint 🌮🤠🔔 Bell
@@staceyking7911
Girl, the drama, the style, the shoulder pads, the layered tall hair. Emma thompson? Were you a teen back then too? Was original degrassi b4 or after Dallas?🤩
I miss the Enchirito. I cried! When they took it off the menu.
That enchirito sounds just like the smothered burrito...I miss it 😫😭😭😭
The enchirito didn’t just remain on the menu until 1993. I ate it my entire childhood(90s/early 2000s. The best thing Taco Bell has ever had, after the Mexican pizza.
I thought the same
The Enchirito of the 90's was not the original. In the 70's and 80's it was WAY better.
Does anybody remember the original Frito burrito from like 98 till 2001 or 2000 ???
@@ozmosisjohn90garcia13 😄👍🏼👍🏼
You can still order it
BRING BACK THE ENCHIRITO......AND THE BELL BURGER.....NOW.
and tostadas....
YESYESYESYES!
it was called the bell beefer, not the bell burger and yea i want it back darn it!!
@@sharonneufeld2008 well when i ate it first time in 1967 for 19 cents, it was called the bell burger. when enchirito came out it was .55 cents. by that time all other 5 taco bell items had risen to .25 cents each.
@@mikley28 yes, i want the original menu of 1967
Wow Taco Bell was rocking when I was born in the 1970s!
That’s great I actually made a video on Taco Bell and there rise
Now, IT'S A DO-NOT-PUT-ANOTHER-DIME-INTO-ANOTHER-TACO-BELL-ANYWHERE😡
The 90s prices are what I miss as well. Shit jumped in price in the 20s and 2010s.
Everything dude Especially now we are in a inflation
The enchirito and bell beefer were my favorites.....when I was little, those two items were the only ones I would eat
And now they're limited and over priced. They were my favorite place for 20+ years of my life, now I dont go at all.
You said it. The menu used to have so much you could hardly decide....now it is downright embarrassing. And yes...their prices now are practically larceny for what you get. I guess their main crowd now is the late night gang who are too stoned to know they are getting robbed.😆
@@tracyvest3069 Food prices in general for Taco Bell is extremely low. Most of the food items are under $2
Limited menu, sure, but as far as I know 5$ or 10$ at taco bell can sure go a longer way than most other fast food restaurants.
Its sooooo gross now
I can't believe how high the prices have gotten. The three taco supreme combo is like $9 - insane.
Taco Bell used to put olives on everything. NOw they don't even exist at taco bell.
Yeah.... They use to put tomatoes and onions.... Now you pay 30 cents extra... each taco
I remember seeing actual workers stirring REAL beans in stainless steel pots then too. Not the powdered low octane beans of today.
@@dustoff1924 PLUS the supposed "extras" are NON-EXISTENT 🥴
It stinks now and more toxic.
Ew imagine liking OLIVES 😷
The Enchirito was the bomb. Bring it back Taco Bell 🌮🔔
Enchirito and the bell beefer were my favs as a kid...
Bring back the enchirtiotio
BellBeefer!!!! The best!! Miss them!!! Bring ‘em back! Please!
Loved the BellBeefer!!
Please
The Chili Cheese Burrito is still served at Taco Bells here in South Bend, IN... by far my favorite thing there.
Really..... Interesting
I live in Columbus, Indiana and we still have them here!
That Enchirito sounds a lot like the smothered burrito I used to crave!
Well, you blew it. Taco Bell didn't exist when I was born The enchirito was my favorite. Wish they would bring it back (not the latest version of it they had recently).
They didn't exist when I was born either.
Taco Bell is the best cheap and tasty
Taco Bell wasn't around when I was born either. So sad.
Theres a local fast food here in the midwest that sells this and it's like 3 times bigger.
Nope. Not around for my birth either. Oh well.
The Enchirito use to slap HARD way back when!!!
That effin dog made all latins the laughing stock at school. I can't tell you how many times I heard "yo querio taco bell" while minding my business in grade school 🤣😂😫 it never bothered me cause I was quick with the comebacks but yeah
He was super cute.
The enchirito and the beef burrito were the best.
My first job 1976 & I can still make all the items in my sleep. The Bell Beefer was more like a skimpy sloppy joe.
I do still make the cinnamon crispas, mmm.
I miss the ol skool Taco Bell 🔔🔔🔔 🌮🌮🌮!!! Taco Bell's still dope af tho 😋😋😋
I miss the taco salad, enchirito, and mexi melt
What I’d give for an encharito , cinnamon crispa’s , and a Pepsi in a Superfriends glass!
The original enchirito was the best thing they ever offered in my humble opinion. Sure wish they’d bring it back.
I have loved the tostada since I was a tiny human and I miss it.
I loved the tostadas since I was like 5. I can still taste it
The Enchirito needs to be back!
RIP… Spicy Chicken Burrito and Double Decker Taco
… Gone but not forgotten
How can you not even mention the caramel apple empanadas?!
You didn't show the Taco Bell Light and the long taco, the Taco Bell Grande.
I loved the Taco Light and Taco Bellgrande. Two more favorites of mine that they discontinued.
Omg bring back the taco light!! Please🤷♀️
😱oh no!!! The chili cheese burrito, the taco light, taco bell grande and the bell beefer... Taco Bell is getting rid of their best sellers. I was a Business major in college. We were taught to find out what the customer wants and if it's a best seller, KEEP that product. Too many companies get rid of the items that customers love and keep the "duds". 😕🥺
I loved the Enchirito!! I don’t eat at Taco Bell much now.
was that Patrick Duffy in the commercial? the Step By Step dad and Dallas guy
Love it !!! Nice to see that Bobby Ewing once worked at Taco Bell !!! As wealthy as he is now, he should BUY Taco Bell and bring back the great menu items !!! 😋 I miss Dallas and Rest In Peace Larry Hagman.
Loved the Taco Light! Another all time favorite was the Mexican Pizza....life hasn't been the same without it.
Taco Bell's motto is "If it tastes good get it OFF the menu and Discontinue at once."
The Enchirito was fire 🔥 I miss them.
Taco Bell is crappy now. 👎
I miss the Enchirito.
"Taco Bell tried to prove that they didn't only make tacos."
But, your name is Taco Bell...
Loved the original Enchirito, but my all time favorite was the Green Burrito (why was that not on the list)? I still have a few of the taco sauce “cups”.
I feel like it was forgotten
I think here they are listing items that were launched across all chains. Some smaller items like the green burrito, and others were only launched as testers at specific locations, and not all across the board, so therefore not mentioned. That green sauce was good. Also the verde salsa packets were so good!
There’s a place called Taco Casa in Texas and Oklahoma- they serve the enchirito but call it the chilada.
I miss the beefy tostada. Wish they bring that back along with the enchrito
Yes. We have Taco Bueno in Austin again and they have a "mucho tostada" which is the closest I've found.
Check if you have a Taco Casa nearby! Taco Casa is the OG Taco Bell menu & recipes. They've got the Tostado, Enchirito, Taco Burger, even the Cinnamon Chips!
BRING BACK THE ENCHURITO (yes, I am yellong)
The carmel apple empanadas were OFF THE CHAIN.
or as i'd call them, the charcoal apple empanadas. i think their toaster ovens literally have a 'nuke' setting.
In high school we'd get high and literally buy those out
still are
The volcano taco was really good
Mannn sum good gas & that volcano 🌮.... da timess
The volcano double decker taco was unreal, cried when they got rid of them
Chili cheese burrito and enchritos need to be brought back to the menu.
Taco Bell : The bell beefer (discontinued)
Del taco : Yes
Lol, but sadly Del Taco is not available in my neck of the woods. Taco Bell is everywhere though.
On a dare I once did 38 shots of taco bell taco sauce when it came in those little plastic trays where you peeled back the cover. Slept in the bathroom for 3 nights.
That’s insane you deserve a medal
So was alcohol involved?😊
This brought back SOOOOO many memories!
The Enchirito was good but in 75 taco Bell had the Bell Beefer it was pretty good
I miss the Taco Bell Chihuahua
The volcano taco! I forgot all about my first love!
Bring back the Enchirito!
The Quesalupa is back (limited time only, of course). I haven't been to Taco Bell since they got rid of the Mexican Pizza.
Yes sucks me and my girls loved that!
Use to eat at Taco Bell all the time. The ever changing menu (favorite items disappearing time and time again) as well as the price hikes have taken my business elsewhere. Bringing back the Bell Burger/Bell Beefer is the only thing that would have me return.
Come on people you missed the mark by not adding the most popular idem "THE MEXICAN PIZZA" I don't see how you could have overlooked that???
Joe, I didn't 🙋
Chalupa
I remember having the “Nacho Fries”.A few times and they were very good!
They just came back last week.
Love Taco Bell guys!! Especially during HS in the 90s😂.... And now! 😋👍🏻
Bring back the enchirito!!
I loved the Enchirido and when they made the bean burrito with the green sauce. They make it with the red now. They got rid of my Grilled Stuffed Burrito, too. This sucks.
I was working at a company owned Taco Bell in Northridge California (Lassen and Balboa) when many of these items were on the menu. I was born, but probably most here reading this were not. I lasted about 1 1/2 years at the joint. I moved on the other jobs, finished college, and eventually a career in I.T. Taco Bell's loss.
Taco bell used to be good back then, Now it's just a grose gut bomb.
It has never been super healthy but at least it used to be cheap. You could buy a feast for $5. Now your dollar won't stretch as far.
Mexican Pizzas and Enchiritos were my favorite. I’m not pleased, Taco Bell. I. Am. Not. Pleased.
@UCguEahDCygbntDFhux6eWSw do you mean “you might as well say?”
