Anyone else have an exorbitant wait time today?

I'm guessing it was the empanadas, but with 3 cars I was sitting in line for over 20 minutes, it was absurd. When I got to the window I literally sat for 15 alone just waiting on my own order.

Ordered a chicken quesadilla for the first time in 16 years

51 Upvotes

Full disclaimer: I worked at TB between 2003 and 2010. Quit cold turkey after eating there every day I worked. I got a coupon for $1 quesadilla, and figured it might be worth that. Definitely not $7.79 full price.

Anyways, when did they do away with the quesadilla plastic window wrapper? It was cut like shit, and I’m assuming it’s because they couldn’t see the damn thing. Also, when did they start steaming them first? We use to keep them on the grill way longer and never did that first.

Food score: 6/10. It was edible but I’d be pissed if I paid full price. I can make way better quesadillas at home for much cheaper.

Rewards Program Changes to Rewards??

3 Upvotes

Every time I get a reward on Taco Bell I always use for a DLT taco. Have done this for years. Anyway, yesterday I tried to get my reward and DLT wasn't an option so I got a regular taco instead. Kind of disappointing. Did they change things recently? when?

EDIT: I’m on the lower tier of reward. not the better one. HOT

EDIT 2: they did change it and you used to be able to get a DLT for hot tier and now you can’t. i don’t like this. it’s not a location thing its a new change.

Taco Bell reached out to let me know fresco style will be back October 12th. My source stated it was a “bigger build than expected”, and they “rebuilt from the ground up so it unlocks so many more possibilities in the future”. And to whatever that may mean, I’m excited.
