I worked for Taco Bell in 1976, everything was made fresh, from scratch. The food was actually really good-fresh and tasty. Employees actually came up with the Burrito Supreme, and big sellers were the Enchrito and the Bell-Beefer. Also bring back black olives and green chives.

Exactly. We use to deliver 100lb sacks of pinto beans to Taco Bell back in the day!
jeff samora I remember having to dump those sacks of pinto beans on a rack, washing the beans, and removing all the small rocks you’d find within the beans before placing the beans in giant steel pressure cookers.
Exactly. We had a produce delivery business, everyday at LA market load up and deliver throughout Ventura county.
The original burrito supreme rocked!
coolhand chris as did the encharido and the Bellbeefer
I worked there in the 80's as well. I worked all the stations and different jobs there during my "tenure". Produce was brought in fresh every morning and was washed and then cut up on manually operated machines. Beef was fresh too and cooked in these big square pans with the special seasoning mixed with water throughout the day as needed. Cheese came in huge blocks which were then cut by hand with a wire and manually shredded. The refried beans were manually sorted out of 50 pound pounds to make sure there were no rocks in them and made in 2 huge pressure cookers with 2 big blocks of lard, an s-load of salt and hot water. Refried beans from taco bell back then were so creamy and delicious, unlike now. When done, we broke out a black and decker drill with a 3 foot long extension that had a chopping blade on the end and smoothed out the beans. Taco shells were all fried fresh every day and kept in a large warming cabinet. Nowadays, the meat comes precooked, the beans in cans, the produce already cut up, the cheese already shredded and the taco shells are already cooked. I can definitely tell that the taste and freshness nowadays is not even close to what it used to be. The only thing that has gone up is the price, not the quality. It is so sad to me. Here in Nor Cal, there's a small mom and pop chain that is very much like taco bell used to be, with everything fresh and it brings back memories of how freaking tasty Taco Bell used to be. The fall of a great one.
I used to like Taco Bell's beef burrito. If you ordered one, you'd get one bursting with beef. Nowadays, if you order one, you get five layers of flour tortilla with barely enough filling to keep from choking on it. So I ordered one with extra beef. Big mistake. Now I see why they don't put so much on it. When I ordered extra, it had a weird texture like it was thickened with baby powder. I hate Taco Bell!
Dang tim pole,
You seem to be negative about any progress anywhere.
Just like All companies that compete, they choose to use a co-packer or main location to process their ingredients just like the sauce packets.
I find them far better that many other fast food chains and eat there often.
At 74 still kicking you youngsters down the street. 🤣 tongue in cheek.
Oh, working retail in any fashion Sucks, just ask my wife that manages a local hardware store.
I hear about it daily.
I just wish that you wouldn't paint such a GRIM picture of life, I've had a great one and from what I see of your YT channel you have NOTHING to complain about....
@@phaneserichthoneus8895 eww
LOL you must be talking about Taco Bravo!
@@signalsparks Nope.
The old school commercials make me miss the 80s and 90s
Taco bell tacos tasted so much better back when they had the yellow wrapper.
Kamakaze098 and were 2 for a dollar
Kamakaze098 ALL food tasted better back then
Taco bell food was REAL and taste wayyy better back in the 60s 70s 80s.

I remember when they had mini churros, not the cheap cinnamon twist we have now, frutista freezes, choco tacos, meximelts, smothered burritos, encheritos, cheesy potato burrito, happy hour grillers, they took out the chicken chipotle grilled and stopped putting bacon in cheesy potato grilled and sell it for more, and they took out manzanita sol, sangria blast and half and half tea. I saw all that crumpling down working there and its now just a shell of what it used to be and I can only assume it was much better even back then
Dog has better career than most human actors....trainer complains about damage to career...lol
Hollywood dogs are all primadonnas. And don't even get me started on their constant injection of dog politics into interview conversations.
Hmm... that actually got me thinking about if dogs could vote for another dog to be president, which pooch would be perfect for the job? 🤔😂
Jesse Barrett that dog passed away I think it passed in 2004, I think at fourteen years of age. I could be wrong, though. Was also in ‘Beverly Hills Chihuahua’, too.
Right there's a bunch of ungrateful assholes out there
@@hewgrebe4771 FYI. A Taco Bell dog passed away in July 2009 at 15 years old. Her name was Gidget. Go look at Wikipedia Taco Bell Chihuahua.
I first visited a Taco Bell in the 70s. Worked at one in the 80s. My favorite for decades has been the combo (meat and beans) burrito with green sauce. They discontinued the combo but you could still get one by adding 'extra' meat to a bean burrito along with the green sauce. Then on my last visit they said the green sauce is gone for good. Congrats, Taco Bell, you managed to sever a faithful 45 year relationship.
Verde sauce.... I waz on it too
The Green sauce is gone for good now too where i live.
@@KingOfThePiratesOfTheHill they might have it @ Walmart... just go 2 da aisle where da tortillas & salsa r & u might get lucky b/c itz not a secret.
Try Zantigos hot chilito
@@DreMurrz no walmart by me, and the Safeway only has Taco bell Taco shells.
Its all good, i make dank homemade sauce at home.
I was general manager at a Taco Bell in Louisiana from 1997 to 2001. Sunday's were always are slow days so I personally changed the price of our hard shell and soft shell tacos to half off 39 cents (43 cents after tax). People would show up and order them by the 100's. Increased our profits by the thousands. After I left the store a new owner purchased the store and did away with my idea and from what I heard the sales plummeted.
thats actually genius man. Good job!
Their food was more hearty and beefier before they went all corporate and sold out to Yum Brands.
Back in the day it was taco bell now it is taco hell!
J T this is true I will never forget how bomb those crunchy tacos were back in the 90’s Taco Bell started tasting nasty around 2002/03
Fat kid from Up lmao
Yep now it’s all rice, no meat
I haven't stopped at a #TacoBell in awhile. Do they still have the Choco Taco, Cinnamon Twists and the Miuntain Dew Baja Blast?!!! #crossesfingers
This is basically a 13 minute commercial for Taco Bell.
Because Mashed is garbage
Yeah this was downright terrible
There's way more info in the comment section by people who worked there back in the day.
Yo quiero taco bell 🐾
I had those Batman cups 😆😆. And when I worked at Taco Bell we used to make everything fresh.
I live in Long Beach California and we have the second oldest location here. Still going strong. 👍🏾

i was pleasantly surprised with some of their breakfast features. what most people don’t know is that the full menu is available during breakfast hours, unlike their competitors - not any of that “breakfast until 10:30” nonsense.
Now they don't have breakfast anymore.
@@deaddog5344 depends where you go, thankfully.
@Dis Broad they have it at some locations in Indiana.
Yes, the chili cheese burrito! Now that's what I'm talking about 😋
I get mine with sour cream
Add onions and sour cream
I hated when they discontinued it, felt like a family member died... I walked out & went back home & made myself something 2 eat.😔
Do they still make those
@@Rakeemgrant nah but we wish
Del Taco and Naugles (RIP) shreds Taco Bell!
Del taco facts
the fact that at a corporate level... The decision to kill the Enchirito... Makes me have No desire to participate in any Taco Bell products, nor do I encourage anyone to purchase products from Taco Bell, the Enchirito was on the hidden menu, and long time customers would order it. It's a unique product that nobody else sells. My family and those around me know not to bring up the option to purchase anything from Taco Bell. Many restaurants have secret menu items for their faithful customers. All the ingredients to make the Enchirito is still there yet.. Someone at the corporate level decided to remove it. This person or the people do not understand nor do they honor.. Some of the statements on their website about honoring long-time customers. It would have been no big deal to keep the Enchirito on the menu is a secret item for the long-time customers.
For me and others. The end of the Bellbeefer! Was the end of TB!
Also I liked the old Adobe style building. Just a brick house, simmering pinto beans
Getting rid of the Blck Olives, and Green Onions in the 90's was a HUUUUUUGe loss.
As well as the Taco Light (not the Lite as less fat) but the amazing large crispy white shell beauty!
Beans not being made without lard, BIG LOSS!
Cheese when it was super thick and they actually stuffed the tacos with it@. That was the best!
Give me a burrito supreme with a side of pintos and cheese and some cinnamon crisps chips!
@@nunyabidnnezz1969 Yep, on the Olives.... i would Decline on the onions... :-) if i brought the Enchirito home i would Load it up with Black Olives... and a boat load of hot sauce,
The quesorito was fire as well lol
The Chili Cheese Burrito is life!
Did the owner of the dog actually say that she was "type cast" seriously?
Yeah kinda like dalmations are typecast for firefighter dogs lol.
When I was young, I loved the Enchirito
I love Taco Bell The dog was classic. Also liked when Star Wars ep1 came out. They had the cup toppers and prizes on the cups.
When I moved from West Texas to Connecticut, Taco Bell was the only reason I survived for the first year until I got use to East coast food.

Life is rough!
You totally missed talking about the big change in ingredients from their earliest restaurants to when they got bought out by the PepsiCo organization. Their original ingredients were several orders of magnitude better than after the PepsiCo takeover, including the fact that all their basic ingredients (except flour tortillas, green and red sauces) were cooked or shredded or chopped fresh daily on premises, including the corn taco shells. I personally think their biggest loss was when they changed the green sauce recipe, in my opinion to this very day was the best green sauce - bar none - that I’ve ever tasted. When they switched was when I stopped eating there. But I guess for the younger generation, if you don’t know how good it used to be, then you don’t miss it, and will be much more willing to accept mediocrity.
I worked there during my teens. Was there before and after PepsiCo bought it. Huge difference overnight. Quality went down immediately prices went up gradually... still don't eat there. Except if I have munchies and if someone else is willing to get it lol...
Larry Manasco you're high if you believe that. They've been using pre-cut lettuce and pre-made shells, heating everything thing in the microwave since at least 1980.
boardskins the first tacobell that went up where I lived was a franchise that was owned by a family of a friend of mine. I got to go inside and see in detail what went on. The taco shells and tostada shells were deep fried on the premises, the beans and beef were made from scratch, the cheese was grated in house, the onions, lettuce, and tomatoes also were chopped likewise in house, the only things that came from the outside were the flour tortillas, the green and red sauce, the taco sauce (only one type at that time served in plastic cups with lids - that too packed on premisses, and the soft drinks. Didn’t have to believe it - I saw it first hand for myself!
My taco Bell needs shut down , cleaned & re staffed!!
Coke (a Georgia creation), Pepsi (a North Carolina creation), and Dr. Pepper (a Texas creation) are the South's payback for losing the CIvil War.
Omg I forgot about the chilito! That NEEDS to come back!
I still have to thank taco bell for that taco bell dog. Loved the commercials and how funny it is. 🙈
that was a great video. Keep up the good work.
The news guy at the end looked high as hell I bet he at taco bell every night talking about the chili cheese burrito😂
I use to love the tacos at taco bell. It's like they changed their recipe. 80 to 90 was the best time to get them.
Jesus Christ loves you
My friend literally craps his pants if he eats taco bell. 50% of the time. Every time.

Worked for TB in the 70's, everything was made fresh including the taco shells. The food tasted so good, not like it is today. I still eat at TB for sure but remembering the original taste and freshness, you would always "run for the border!"
The first apartment I had in 1972, had a TH right behind it. My two roommates and I lived on Taco Bell. Good times!😀
A Taco Bell hotel? Wow. But this is Sonny Bono's hometown so it shouldn't surprise anyone! 😂
😲💩😲💩😲💩🤦
The only time I make a trip to Taco Bell is when they have the naked chalupas!!
bell burger? we need it now! TY
First time I tried Taco Bell was as a college student at UW-LaCrosse. Didn’t have a Taco Bell in my hometown. I think they did some deal where tacos were 2 for $1 back in 1987. It was good, cheap and delicious.
I miss the old grilled stuffed burritos😭
I forgot all about those! Damn kids and their dorito tacos
Yep. The steak one with fire sauce!
Yes I remember these!
HELLLLL yeah!!!!
The chicken ceaser grilled stuff was amazing

Been going for almost 50 years , I stopped last year when they cut out the Verde sauce , I can't believe they would do that , I love that stuff
I remember working there when I was young & it has changed alot since then. But when I worked there it was fun & be part of my Life also met good ppl there.

Bell Hotel Should Go To Every State & County😤
lol.. At 6:09 that military helicopter looks like it almost lost control setting down that big taco bell van...
No one told them "tacos are one of the worst things to try eating when flying."
Taco Bell reformulated their beans in the 80s to be "healthy" and as a result they had to completely retool the menu to cover up the fact the beans were suddenly horrid. It used to be the beans had just 4 ingredients: beans, salt, water, & lard. And they were awesome. People would just order a cup of beans with a little sauce and a sprinkle of onion and cheese - it was a menu favorite. A couple months after the recipe change the item was discontinued because nobody ordered them any longer.
Crazy watching this now while working in a taco Bell 😂
I quit going to Taco Bell when they quit the Bell Beefer
That has been a while
I don't miss it 🚑
I use to absolutely love Taco Supreme Light in the 80s. That super crispy flour shell omg. Anyone remember those???
Jesus Christ loves you
The Yum brand deal with Star Wars, in the 1990's, was boss. KFC, Pizza Hut, and Taco Bell were involved. I still remember the logo.
MWofOHIO there were a few TacoBell’s/PizzaHut joined restaurants but they would only sell mini pizzas they didn’t have the same menu as a regular pizza hut
Damn I forgot about the damn taco Bell dog😂 rip
Even pintos&cheese was yummy, miss the Bellbeefer!
Like so many old schooler's.
I still have 3 stuffed doggies from their promotion.
I LOVED that DOG.....wish they would do this again
Our Taco Bell has been remodeling over a year. We got a new Del Taco so you’ve made me so hungry!
The people that work at my local Taco Bell literally know me it’s so embarrassing but Taco Bell is soooo bombbb
😂
No its not no more, they took my chipotle chicken griller
T. Dot89 for real!! They got rid of the power menu burritos I’m sad ):
I've always said if I get rich I'm building a taco bell inside my home.😂
I said the same thing when I was younger! Great minds think alike. 😂
@@lexcj1 I've been killing those new reaper ranch taco's they have now.
You're a dope.
First Taco Bell restaurant was on Telegraph road Detroit in the '70's.
DETROIT!!!!! Love Dr. Peppers pop for my first and still now drinking Doc Pep pop.
Westside was it by the 96 freeway
I have a lot of great memories from my teen years at Taco Bell, it was a cool place to hang out.
I remember going to Taco Bell back in the 80s when the employees still wore doo-doo brown color uniforms.
I worked there in the 90's, when we actually cooked the meat and added the seasoning.
It's not the same anymore.
@Death before Dishonor thank you sir
HAHAHA! That was actually the Taco Bell up the road from my house that they had a vigil for when it burnt down. It started as a joke, kinda like the Area 51 raid, and it just caught on. It's been rebuilt since.
There is a Taco Casa in my area and it's the closest thing to the "old" Taco Bell from the 70's. The old Taco Cass in Durant Oklahoma is the best of the Casa's.

@@fritztopher WTF
Once my favorite high school food, once served real beef, once was original and a commercial favorite.
Then sold out changed there beef to "not" beef, beef. Then souled out to the illuminati with the belluminati menu. I will never eat their disgusting witchcraft, fake food, ever again.
Nachos bell grande was the best, and the burrito supreme🤔😭
I eat it all the time......I'm also not a sissy la la.
@@obijuankenobi420 if you understood the spiritual implications behind Spirit cooking, you wouldn't eat there again.
Is Jesus your Lord and Saviour?
God bless you my friend❤
@@followthepinkline I know what spirit cooking is........I know that Taco Bell changed its logo and people said it was the "All seeing eye" ....... some also said its a Lizard eye from the lizard people.....Its tacos and burritos man.....nothing more nothing less.
@@obijuankenobi420 okay. But are GMOs in fruits vegetables just fruits and vegetables? Nothing more, nothing less? Or have they been genetically modified?
Are antibiotics injected into cows still natural cows- nothing more, nothing less?
If population control is a plan to make humans sick by what we eat, the air we breathe, the companies that SOLD OUT to the New World will help fulfill this plan. That's a fact.
Eat what you want, just be wise.
No, it's not just a burrito and a taco at Taco Bell, that's the idea they sell you.
God bless you
I have good memories regarding the Taco Bell just outside of Riverside, California. Grandma and I would always stop by this one on our way to the main mall where we would order Enchiritos. We ate them outside on account of the pigeons and they were bold, little rascals, too. Once, some meat fell out of my taco and I had about 4 or 5 pigeons fighting for it right over my foot. The flapping of wings felt kinda weird against my bare leg. I don't know which was more fun: eating the food ourselves or feeding it to the pigeons.🌮🌮🌮🌮🌮
I live across the street from Bell Gardens the Bell family farm . It was a favorite place for kids for years as a local field trip .
They’ve always had fries at Taco Bell in Canada. Give the chips any day!
No more encheritos + no more mexican pizzas = my no longer being a customer of Taco Bell.
When I was 16 I worked at Taco Bell. that was in 1986. Back then we COOKED the meat in a tilt skillet and seasoned it. I cut tomatoes shredded cheese. Only the lettuce came in pre cut. Chips and taco shells were also fried on location. Now everything comes in already done. Throw the bag of meat into the steam table, tear open bags of cheese lettuce and beans yup open the bag add in a pan of hot water. The only think they actually make is the Chulpa shell and the pizza shells and the cinnamon twists.
Currently watching while eating 3 bean burritos and 3 soft tacos.
Was I da only to get freaked out by da scary looking Ronald McDonald 11:22??🤡👹😱..
“Toxic Hell”
I usually get two crispy beef tacos a beef burito supreme and a chicken chalupa. Been eating Taco Bell since the late 80s early 90s and still enjoy the Bell's food.
I’m from San Bernardino growing up & remember loving Taco Tia & Taco Bell, also makes sense now why their hot sauce tasted similar.
If only We a had Taco Tia back just to order those Taco Burgers they had so good.
Those chalupas are still bomb 😭 the only thing I do like 💕
all my taco bellers stand up
I dunno, I was always a Burrito Supreme guy. And eat it before it gets cold... 😁
Me: listening to the video driving home from work...
Also me: hearing taco bell over 100 times *pulls into drive thru..*
Me mumbling to myself: stupid friggin video 😠gettin me all hungry n shyt... yes 1 locos supreme.. damn you taco bell😠" lol
Taking a quick nap and then I'll be on my way to Taco Bell.

5 layer beefy burrito, the best cheap road and easy to eat while driving.
Does anyone know if Taco Tio still exists? There was a location in Riverside,Ca that recently shutdown.
Typecast !?!?!? ITS A DOG !!!!
It happens. They went overboard with that one though.
Haha
Yea that was a tad silly
Bring back the Pintos n cheese!!
I like how fast the went by what’s in the 88% beef mixture.
That "Drop the Chalupa" dog was the bomb.

I learned to speak Spanish by eating at my local taco bell...
WHY WOULD THEY GET RID OF THE ENCHARITO ??????? I'M SO UPSET!!!
I remember they used to have instructions on how to eat a soft taco on the wrapper
I remember the first time an actual real texmex restaurant opened up in a small town in Georgia near a taco bell, I was a Texas boy transplant and loved it's food until it closed a year later, taco bell was still going strong. It's not real mexican food but to people from Georgia taco bell is as close as they wanted to get.
LOVE SOFT TACO SUPREMES MMMM
They should make another taco bell dog campaign
