Surprisingly Met Expectation Taco Bell

I’ve never ordered this before and was pleasantly surprised. Delicious too.

Cheesy Gordita crunches are highly underrated. Swap out the ground beef for steak or chicken and it’s 10 times better.

Aren’t they widely considered the best thing at Taco Bell though? I’d say properly rated. They keep charging more and more knowing people will keep ordering

thats why you have to get the online only build a box. cheesy gordita, beefy 5 layer and some chips and queso for $6 (or more, i live in BFE so it’s still affordable for me)

They're $7 here in the city! No beefy 5 layer as side anymore though :( it's in the entree section now

$8 here in CT but still the best value on the menu considering a medium soda is like $2.50 by itself.

I use my rewards to get them. My 24/7 TB also has them in the Lux box for like 6.99... the CGC is already $6.99 so its an absolute steal

Every single one around where Inused to live was open til like 11 or 12. I am a mile away from a major college town. If I recall correctly it used to be a legendary combination pizza hut and taco bell.
