@@Pull54545454 nice reviews, I'm always seeing another, but that mightn't be a permanent thing, I'm satisfied I can eat fastfood vicariously through you (no g translate, how'd I do)
Yes they will tell you that different franchises are owned by different people but I want them to come down hard on those franchise owners who are abusive they're setting a bad example for all of the good franchise owners who put lots of chicken in their chicken burrito dammit
It's pretty disheartening when you think about how much the average customer has to give in order to pay for a fast food meal. Many Americans are living paycheck to paycheck and groceries aren't any cheaper nowadays.
The morning crew at my local Taco Bell is fantastic. They serve me breakfasts that are good enough for royalty. But the night/closing crew absolutely sucks.
crap food? this is pretty good for fast food! tell reviewbrah to go back to Arbys and stop complaining....watched him for many years he dony get "Fast food" he is a richie rich he wants the best!
@@scottbrown-vc2lp everybody laying down their money for an advertised product is entitled to receive product as advertised but you my friend take anything anytime because you just don't have any standards
We've given up on fast food in my household at this point, lol. It's always overpriced, quality's getting worse, and they forget/get half the order wrong.
I remember during hard times was when mcDs introduced the dollar menu and everyone followed suit. I heard somewhere that it was the only thing that kept them a float. I can’t believe people are willing to pay todays prices for poor quality downsized food. Even our local places are doing it. I recently paid “ not paying attention “ 11.99 for a 10” footling hotdog on an 8” bun. 11.99 for a hotdog. I was shocked when she gave me the total.
I'll sadly often look up my town and restuarants/food. I'll skim through every single place up to food carts 30 miles away. I'll then sadly go make dinner. My other options are basically getting way overcooked noodles in a worse sauce then I could make and a smug wait person who won't refill my drink and expects 25% tip.
@@Drak976i have given up on almost all fast food as well. When i pulled up to a mcdonalds and asked for a mcdouble and a mcchicken they told me a price of almost $7.00. I responded with "no thanks. Have a nice day". The prices fast food restaurants want for fast calories is ridiculous. The only fast food I still buy is thr egg bites at starbucks and dunkin donuts. Its not that they aren't ridiculously overpric3d (bc they are) but at least they are somewhat healthy and stably available no matter where I am on a road trip. Whenever I would get fast food I either just make the meal myself or jump to to a sit down restaurant where I can get a meal for $20 including a tip and it would hav3 been $14 for a far inferior meal at a fast food restaurant. Also waffle house for the win.
@@Drak976 lol what? What is that even supposed to mean? Do you consider Taco Bell to be "good food"? Im an illustrator (SEE AVATAR) so dont try to teach me about color, haha :)
As nasty as it is, the 7 Layer Burrito is classic. I liked those grilled stuffed burritos too. And basic bean burritos. Mexican pizza was tasty. I haven’t been there in years, but I preferred Taco Bell to any other fast food. If I want a burger I make my own. I’ll make a burrito too, much better of course. That’s why I don’t eat fast food I just make it myself or go to a deli or pizza. There’s great pizza where I live. But eat too much you get fat as heck. Happened to me so I stopped I started becoming a blimp eating pizza for lunch every day. But it tasted so good. One thing I’ll give Taco Bell, some of the stuff they come up with you can make it home with fresh great ingredients and then it’s incredible. It’s probably cheaper too or at least around the same cost of food.
@@romusz It’s gone now? What are they doing? And the basic bean burrito was nuts. Don’t tell me they got rid of that too, bland but some sauce they were not bad. Are the grilled stuffed garbage ones gone as well? They were delicious, like they put those spicy corn chips on them.
I like how when showing the cross-section, for a few moments he smiles for the thumbnail, but then after the video when selecting which frame to actually use he says, "No, this burrito does not deserve my smile."
I've legitimately stopped going to TBell since like ~2021ish, and I used to go 3-5 times per week. They keep increasing prices, cutting items, but not improving the quality of what items are left - It's like they just try to see what they can get away with.
Its been a while since I've watched ReviewBrah's videos. Its great to see that he has added well timed humor, and jump scare cross cuting into his reviews! Love the videos man!
Lately there has been a huge problem with fast food restaurants across the board downsizing the amount of food that they offer in their product. This has spawned lawsuits that these companies are actually losing. The very first big one was when subway introduced the footlong and it was actually only 8 in Long. Now there are people discovering that when you used to get a Whopper, the meat would go to the edge of the bun now the bun is bigger than the meat, much bigger in some cases. These fast food restaurants are jacking up the price of their food and downsizing the size of their food. Thinking that the American citizens are so stupid they won't even realize it. Well, maybe some are. We are allowing them to get away with this by continuing to go to these restaurants and buying the food, and not screaming loud about it. But there are more lawsuits believe it or not coming down the pike. These companies are losing these lawsuits, and paying out a lot of money for false advertising or false claims. I think it comes down to the fact of buy your own ingredients at the store; start making your own food, you know what's in it and you at least you know where the hands that made it have been
It's called shrinkflation. A higher price is scary to consumers so they would rather sneakily give you less product before raising the price. The main problem is government created inflation. Abolish the federal reserve.
here’s an idea…..stop eating their garbage food. you’re giving greedy cocksmiths your money for processed ass food that gives you cancer lolol quit consuming
It makes me angry when restaurants disappoint ReviewBrah. Like how could they do that? How dare they offend our liege lord's noble palate? For this, they will surely pay.
Nailed it again, Reviewbrah.🙌🏼🥰 Exactly - where’s the chicken? Also, I very much appreciate that you look directly into the camera - and not to the side. Keep shining your awesome light.🙌🏼💫🌟💫
I have to say, Taco Bell quality varies so strongly based on the location. The one by my college has the absolute worst quality. Borderline disgusting. The one by my house, on the other hand, hands down my favorite food and favorite place to eat
That’s what i’m saying. I’ve had two entirely different taco bell experiences from two different locations. That’s the difference between fresh meat, and good distribution or not. It’s hard for fast food places they’re always getting lazy ass teenagers. I hate my job too but damn kid, it could be so much worse lol. Just make me some fresh food.
It can be by shift too. The one near me sucks during the day. Horrible food quality, portions and consistency. And that's if they even get the order right. The night crew on the other hand nails it. Go after 9pm and it's great.
Tends to be like that for every fast food spot. I’ve been to a Hardees that was great all throughout, and I’ve also been to a Hardees in NorCal that was horrible, both in service and food
@@dzxn3728 Lots of problems, like keeping ingredients properly stored and rotated so you don't serve spoiled food, or cooking it properly, or maintaining a clean kitchen to avoid contamination, or prepping portions correctly so you don't have old food items lingering under heatlamps for ages then being served to customers... there are a lot of ways to mess up the food. And all of it depends on the manager and staff on shift caring enough to do the job right or just half-ass it.
Yeah, which is just annoying tbh. I miss when you never knew what his thoughts were going to be til after he tried it. Now, the title and thumbnail gives it away. And it's also annoying how he spends 4-5 minutes just talking.
@@leaf2180Well, content creators are naturally going to change up how they make their content, only some are happy enough to keep doing it the same way. Reviewbrah won't please everyone, it's a given. He won't want to make content if he can't do it his own way, and that's perfectly understandable.
they assemble them quickly and with tools that are difficult to use in a way that creates a consistent and pretty burrito. there are some people who post POV videos of them assembling the burritos and they really show you all you need to know
After taking bites from the bifrucated burrito I was glad you did the full post mortem and opened it up I've had fairly good luck with my local Taco Bells having a good amount of ingredients.
Out of all of the food reviewers on the interwebs, and there are a LOT, I come HERE for the truth. You’re always fair, always dispassionately logical, which is exactly what I want. Truthfully, your reviews really hit, because you have an uncanny ability to preemptively answer the most pressing question with each item. For this, my first question was, “Ok, but how much chicken is in it?” I hope you know how much people appreciate what you do. Thank you, fine sir, you saved me $2.00. Hey, have you thought of branching out to TikTok? Do you have a Patreon? I think people would love to support you! You’re an OG classic, and I think you’d be surprised at how much support you’d get. ❤️❤️❤️
@@definitelynotanAIchatbotyep. Not only that but then people pay double the already inflated price to have it delivered. People paying $20 for a Big Mac and fries lol.
Haha, you should have a talk with my teenage daughter. She orders a $22 big mac meal and thinks it's a good deal if they throw in an extra order of fries for "free" on the app
thank you for keeping the entire food industry humble when it comes to your fans like me. Working as a line cook, the cost of food always outweighs the price of the meal. A lost concept is, its up to cooks to make sure you have a satisfactory meal and make you want to come back, not the company or anyone elses. 4 pieces of chicken in a "chicken wrap" with lack of sauce and mostly rice is a glorified granola bar. $2 is enough for me to stick my neck out and try it, but i know their menu items are better and/or more consistent with only a slightly higher price. Godspeed reviewbrah
I agree 100% with you on this. It's like they take items that we grew up with for a dollar and change the name. Shrink the item and raise the price by 3 to 5 times the price.
@stevemorlock5366 I don't go to Taco Bell for authentic Mexican food, and you are a fool for thinking anyone would. There are implications that come with adapting a traditional Mexican dish at a Taco restaurant even if "Mexican" isnt used in the marketing, hench why I used that word to describe "enchilada."
Traditional Mexican food has no cheese because our ancestors were so poor and only used ingredients that were local like corn and crickets and eggs occasional meat products
I love your content, dude! I sincerely do. I haven't had any fast food other than BK (twice) in 2 years. I considered Taco Bell a few days ago , but when I looked at their prices I laughed went home and made my own dinner like I usually do.
My Taco Bell used to tell us to go light on the chicken for value burritos so that they could save money. We’d be forced to do half scoops 😳 I’d go a little extra of course. Never know when reviewbrah is going to roll through.
Foolish chain managers you lure the people in with decent $2 value burritoes so they trust you when they want the $10 super combo taco madness meal sigh.
@@Drak976 see the thing is this is a widely known thing in taco bell.....ive been to 2 taco bells in 2 different towns back to back days and ordered the same value menu item......the one that was near home was double the size of the the same item from the other one. they wont be as strict for the bigger items
I’ve been watching Reviewbrah for several years and if he says something is crap…it’s crap 💩! I’ve tried things that he said was crap and he was right !!! Great Channel!!!
I usually just get the regular tacos, but I haven't been there in years. The burrito shell and size is just folded over in such a way that you are getting more bread than filling. I just make mine at home.
Yes, their original, crunchy taco still tastes like it was when TB was born. They have cut the amounts of ground beef(or a facsimile of ground beef) and cheese. But, it's quick and tasty enough for the price, especially when you're tired, hungry, and want tacos. Obviously, homemade tacos are the best ❤
You’d be highly disappointed to go there now for tacos! Usually you get a meat stain , a few bits of cheese and the rest is lettuce. They don’t even give you tomatoes anymore! You have to order supreme and pay more for tomatoes. And for some strange reason they quit serving chicken tacos even though they have all the ingredients right there. I guess a chicken stained taco really increases their overheads.
Knowing how Taco Bell is alarmingly inconsistent with properly making their food next time ask for no chicken and chances are you will get double the chicken 😅
It was a bit better back in the 90's, I was shocked at how much of a scam it is trying it in 2021, who goes back there after being scammed this much...
@@Jack-zj1ugInstead of choosing to introduce quality items, they make gimmicky items that over promise and under deliver. They use hype and marketing to drive sales instead of making quality products that sell themselves. They don’t worry about return customers for these items because they’re temporary.
Tace Bell was good 30 years ago when I was a teen. You could eat a whole bag for like 5 dollars and it was real food. The stuff today is trash. Just so people know there are minimums to calling stuff meat where they have meat essence or a few percent of meat and then it's really a BLEND. Companies put in lots of fillers and then salt and pepper with spice to jack up the blandness. Why buy 3 disappointing burritos for 6 dollars? Just go to a nice authentic Mexican restaurant for real food.
When I was a kid I loved Taco Bell. Then as an adult I realized something...if I just go to the grocery store instead of Taco Bell and get all the ingredients, I can make a bigger, better, much more tastier...not to mention healthier taco or burrito. Long story short...the last time I ate at Taco Bell was about a decade ago. LOL
@@lizzyyork The trick to making a good hard boiled egg is to bring the water up to a boil...add your eggs...then turn the heat down to low, cover and simmer for 12 minutes. Perfect boiled eggs every time. Try it!
@@lizzyyork, buy precooked steak or chicken fajitas. John Soules is a good brand. All you have to do is warm it up. Same with beans if you like those. They sell premade taco shells just like TB uses and for flour tortillas just heat up a skillet to medium high, drop the tortilla in and in 2-3 seconds flip it, 2 more seconds take it out. Don't do that until everything else is ready to put in so the cheese will melt a bit. And I mean no offense, but how do you mess up a boiled egg? The only way I can think is if you don't pay attention and overcook it. Set a timer on your phone or buy one. They really aren't the simplest thing to cook but after multiple tries it baffled me when you said that!
I had one today and it was great, lots of chicken, shockingly hefty. As usual, you order in and you know quality is often dependent on location. I made sure to go to one I have had good experiences at and for the price I was beyond impressed.
Taco Bell is the king of greedflation right now. I went for the first time in a long time last week and paid almost $13 for two chili cheese burritos and a drink. That used to be a $5 order.
I hate when I don't know if your local place failed you in making an item correctly or if it's actually awful 😅 I'm still unsure if I should skip it or not lol
The chicken enchilada burrito i ordered yesterday definitely had some chicken in it. However, it was lacking on the enchilada sauce and sour cream. I'm glad I added some diablo sauce and salsa, because without that the burrito probably would've been dry.
In the future we will think back to times like today where there was actual chicken on our Taco Bell burritos and not just chicken or beef flavoring. Times are changing!
TheReportOfTheWeek, when are you doing a collaboration with your older brother Kirby Allison? Can you please have him take you for a proper bespoke suit fitting? 😂
I hear you. I felt every word of this. This is my current mood about society in general. Standards have slipped. So many things now are slapdash and ersatz. We need to raise standards across the board 😭
You have style and class. I love how you dissected the burrito. Very amazing. I want that burrito now but I go into it knowing I won’t get chicken. You go above and beyond in your videos.
this man is the best example of classyness on this entire platform. he annunciates his words perfectly, his table manners are impeccable. thank you, reviewbrah, for doing everything you do for those of us in society who eat this garbage. 😎
If a fast food restaraunt tried to sell me a "chicken sandwich" which was a bun with lettuce, mayo, and a single chicken nugget on it, I wouldn't enable their scam by paying EXTRA in hopes for another chicken nugget -- this is no different. The restaraunts only do this because they get away with it. They get away with it because people keep giving them money and won't ever complain no matter what.
You guys realize stuff like this matters. The more they feel they can scam us the more they will. Not everyone is rich and can just blow off a bad experience. Even if you are rich, why do you not care that your time is being wasted nearly everywhere? No one seems to care about the customer anymore. I sat in my car yesterday sad about how i don't enjoy any place anymore except for a sushi place that's over 25$ to fill up.
Wealthy people are wealthy because they don’t waste money on crap, that includes fast food! Lol. Sure, they eat out in nice restaurants on occasions but not like the average person who spends hard earned money eating fast food at least 2-3x a week! Wealthy people are wealthy for a reason!
@@roxys744 A LOT of wealthy people eat fast food. Many of which are also some of the wealthiest in America from Warren Buffet to Trump. Warren Buffet alone eats McDonald's for breakfast every day and drinks 5 cans of coke a day too.
You know I felt that you were going to say this because I just picked up this burrito recently and I was disappointed as well. I visit Taco Bell 80% less than I did 2 years ago because of things like this. You pretty much nailed it by saying that this is a common Taco Bell problem. The product sucks. I mean you can go in and order individual tacos at Chipotle for $3.50. I would skip the extra meat at Taco Bell and just go get something that's even better quality for 50 more cents. They've almost completely lost my business. The only thing I feel that I get every single time that is very delicious from that place is the cheesy gordita crunch and i painstakingly went through the entire menu the other day to realize that there's almost nothing else that I want to order on the entire menu. That's absolutely pathetic compared to the Taco Bell of the past. Then you factor in inflation on top of everything else and you realize that Taco Bell isn't even a value anymore. You know you can go on the app in McDonald's and you can get two Mcdouble's for $3. Whether or not you like the McDouble or not, you get a fair amount to meat there. And if you go to Taco Bell and you're only paying for three pieces of meat. It's gotten so bad. I'm considering uninstalling the app. I'll say one other thing. I'm not a guy to complain much but we're recently. I've gotten in hostile against the restaurant by going in the app and just complaining continuously about the product. My first four complaints were completely ignored by the restaurant. On my 5th complaint I decided to get a lot more colorful with my language and I don't usually say the f word repetitively but I basically said that they're screwing up all the time and it's a trash products and I don't get feedback when I complain. So I got a coupon for a free box of food which is pretty amazing but just the fact that they ignore legitimate complaints from consumers and it's not until you start swearing until they actually consider giving you anything for your lack of a better experience. It really goes to show you the direction that customer service is going in. They care more about appeasing the angry consumers versus click keeping happy the people that have legitimate complaints. The truth is Taco Bell's a dumpster fire right now and I'm surprised that idiots are continuing to flood the drive-thru.

Tends to be like that for every fast food spot. I’ve been to a Hardees that was great all throughout, and I’ve also been to a Hardees in NorCal that was horrible, both in service and food
Weirdly everywhere I go the ingredients are the same. I'm not sure how some do it wrong???
@@dzxn3728 Lots of problems, like keeping ingredients properly stored and rotated so you don't serve spoiled food, or cooking it properly, or maintaining a clean kitchen to avoid contamination, or prepping portions correctly so you don't have old food items lingering under heatlamps for ages then being served to customers... there are a lot of ways to mess up the food. And all of it depends on the manager and staff on shift caring enough to do the job right or just half-ass it.
I could feel the disappointment from the thumbnail, I felt like I had messed up 😰😰
You know it's bad when Brah didn't even put the name of the product in the video title.
Yeah, which is just annoying tbh. I miss when you never knew what his thoughts were going to be til after he tried it. Now, the title and thumbnail gives it away. And it's also annoying how he spends 4-5 minutes just talking.
@@leaf2180Well, content creators are naturally going to change up how they make their content, only some are happy enough to keep doing it the same way. Reviewbrah won't please everyone, it's a given. He won't want to make content if he can't do it his own way, and that's perfectly understandable.
Does Taco Bell manufacture/freeze these burritos and then deliver them to franchisees? Or do they assemble them on-site like a Chipotle burrito?
Idk
🔥
Oh hi Tay!
they assemble them quickly and with tools that are difficult to use in a way that creates a consistent and pretty burrito. there are some people who post POV videos of them assembling the burritos and they really show you all you need to know
Yes, they thaw them in chocolate rain.
I've always had issues with how Taco Bell portions the grill chicken compared to their ground beef and steak
After taking bites from the bifrucated burrito I was glad you did the full post mortem and opened it up I've had fairly good luck with my local Taco Bells having a good amount of ingredients.
When you showed the cross section I couldn't even tell that it was supposed to be some kind of chicken burrito.
Out of all of the food reviewers on the interwebs, and there are a LOT, I come HERE for the truth. You’re always fair, always dispassionately logical, which is exactly what I want. Truthfully, your reviews really hit, because you have an uncanny ability to preemptively answer the most pressing question with each item. For this, my first question was, “Ok, but how much chicken is in it?” I hope you know how much people appreciate what you do. Thank you, fine sir, you saved me $2.00. Hey, have you thought of branching out to TikTok? Do you have a Patreon? I think people would love to support you! You’re an OG classic, and I think you’d be surprised at how much support you’d get. ❤️❤️❤️
Copy pasta
@@tumultuousv They had a copy pasta that had $2 and chicken preloaded or do they change that part?
🤓
I just found you and I love you. you have a new fan. I just love you you go dude you go.
taco bell, where food scientists are working 'round the clock to deliver a wet and soggy crunchy taco.
I agree with you entirely, food is getting worse and worse and people just act like it's normal.
Quality gets worse, price goes up. You can't explain that!
@@definitelynotanAIchatbotyep. Not only that but then people pay double the already inflated price to have it delivered. People paying $20 for a Big Mac and fries lol.
Haha, you should have a talk with my teenage daughter. She orders a $22 big mac meal and thinks it's a good deal if they throw in an extra order of fries for "free" on the app
@@davidlinehat4657 those corporate psychologists know what they’re doing lol. They still get me with FOMO from time to time.
Man! His anger at 11:17 is palpable! Look at that expression! I've never seen Reviewbruh this mad! 😲
It jumpscared me and made me shake in fear afterwards for a few minutes.
thank you for keeping the entire food industry humble when it comes to your fans like me.
Working as a line cook, the cost of food always outweighs the price of the meal. A lost concept is, its up to cooks to make sure you have a satisfactory meal and make you want to come back, not the company or anyone elses.
4 pieces of chicken in a "chicken wrap" with lack of sauce and mostly rice is a glorified granola bar.
$2 is enough for me to stick my neck out and try it, but i know their menu items are better and/or more consistent with only a slightly higher price.
Godspeed reviewbrah
I agree 100% with you on this. It's like they take items that we grew up with for a dollar and change the name. Shrink the item and raise the price by 3 to 5 times the price.
Funny to see how much of it is tortilla rolled up on itself.
The tortilla is too big for the pathetic filling. 🙁
Nothing screams mexican enchilada more than a a blend of Italian, British, and American cheeses
Lmao
@stevemorlock5366 I don't go to Taco Bell for authentic Mexican food, and you are a fool for thinking anyone would. There are implications that come with adapting a traditional Mexican dish at a Taco restaurant even if "Mexican" isnt used in the marketing, hench why I used that word to describe "enchilada."
Mozzarella is pretty much Oaxaca cheese
Traditional Mexican food has no cheese because our ancestors were so poor and only used ingredients that were local like corn and crickets and eggs occasional meat products
Pretty sure that just because someone says enchilada that it doesn't mean "mexican"
I like how he makes two faces for the thumbnail, one for when it's good and the grumpy face expecting it to be bad xD
I love your content, dude! I sincerely do.
I haven't had any fast food other than BK (twice) in 2 years.
I considered Taco Bell a few days ago , but when I looked at their prices I laughed went home and made my own dinner like I usually do.
My Taco Bell used to tell us to go light on the chicken for value burritos so that they could save money. We’d be forced to do half scoops 😳 I’d go a little extra of course. Never know when reviewbrah is going to roll through.
Foolish chain managers you lure the people in with decent $2 value burritoes so they trust you when they want the $10 super combo taco madness meal sigh.
@@Drak976 see the thing is this is a widely known thing in taco bell.....ive been to 2 taco bells in 2 different towns back to back days and ordered the same value menu item......the one that was near home was double the size of the the same item from the other one. they wont be as strict for the bigger items
You mean to tell me Taco Bell makes $2 billion ever year and can't provide its paying customers with a fair, basic meal? Sad.
Katy Perry is still incredibly talented, successful and beautiful, but gottam in 2008? Forget’bout 🔥. Love ❤️ from NJ
I think you answered your own question.
It’s a 2$ burrito
@@dchill784I can make like 20 of those for 2 bucks
dont defend taco bell @@dchill784
I’ve been watching Reviewbrah for several years and if he says something is crap…it’s crap 💩! I’ve tried things that he said was crap and he was right !!! Great Channel!!!
That's $3.19 in Florida, which is the same price of the beefy melt burrito which is what I used to get but I'm pretty sure it used to be under $3.
I usually just get the regular tacos, but I haven't been there in years. The burrito shell and size is just folded over in such a way that you are getting more bread than filling. I just make mine at home.
Yes, their original, crunchy taco still tastes like it was when TB was born. They have cut the amounts of ground beef(or a facsimile of ground beef) and cheese. But, it's quick and tasty enough for the price, especially when you're tired, hungry, and want tacos. Obviously, homemade tacos are the best ❤
You’d be highly disappointed to go there now for tacos! Usually you get a meat stain , a few bits of cheese and the rest is lettuce. They don’t even give you tomatoes anymore! You have to order supreme and pay more for tomatoes. And for some strange reason they quit serving chicken tacos even though they have all the ingredients right there. I guess a chicken stained taco really increases their overheads.
@@DogSpeak thou spoketh the Truth😂
The only good things on the menu now is the steak grilled cheese burrito and the veggie burrito. Their quesadillas aren’t worth the price anymore.
..just say taco sub beef for chicken?
Knowing how Taco Bell is alarmingly inconsistent with properly making their food next time ask for no chicken and chances are you will get double the chicken 😅
Very good humor!
Thank you for taking one for the team with that bogus burrito! You just saved millions of consumers from that dreaded burrito disappointment. 😮💨 🌯
"it's two dollars reviewbrah what exactly did you expect"?
"how about basic quality"?
that hits hard
I think it's safe to say we can just give up on Taco Bell at this point...when even the Baja Blast is watered down, you know you're in trouble!
I already have. Just look at that mess. That's not food. 🤢
It was a bit better back in the 90's, I was shocked at how much of a scam it is trying it in 2021, who goes back there after being scammed this much...
Taco Bell is amazing, especially when you make the items vegan
@@RealistReviewerwhere was the scam exactly
@@Jack-zj1ugInstead of choosing to introduce quality items, they make gimmicky items that over promise and under deliver. They use hype and marketing to drive sales instead of making quality products that sell themselves. They don’t worry about return customers for these items because they’re temporary.
lol it's like the blueberry muffin in casino, someone has all your chicken and no rice.
He's like the G-Man from Half-Life, always shows up when you least expect but always when you need him most...
ALWAYS an honest and unbiased review!!!! I love this guy!!!! Thank you!!!!!!!!!
Tace Bell was good 30 years ago when I was a teen. You could eat a whole bag for like 5 dollars and it was real food. The stuff today is trash. Just so people know there are minimums to calling stuff meat where they have meat essence or a few percent of meat and then it's really a BLEND. Companies put in lots of fillers and then salt and pepper with spice to jack up the blandness. Why buy 3 disappointing burritos for 6 dollars? Just go to a nice authentic Mexican restaurant for real food.
All the hidden inflation making every fast food joint cut quality is gonna make this channel shine
Yes, I kept looking while you were getting your thumbnail. I said to myself, "Wait, there's no chicken and he has yet to say anything."
After watching TheReportOfTheWeek for a few years now, I still never know what running on empty means
Takes one bite. Stares in dissatisfaction. Takes another. Checks ingredients on paper. Where's the Chicken? 🤣🤣🤣
Reviewbrah's consumer advocacy is a gift we don't deserve
When I was a kid I loved Taco Bell. Then as an adult I realized something...if I just go to the grocery store instead of Taco Bell and get all the ingredients, I can make a bigger, better, much more tastier...not to mention healthier taco or burrito. Long story short...the last time I ate at Taco Bell was about a decade ago. LOL
That's only if you can cook. I can't even boil an egg the right way and I've tried for years to learn and nothing turns out edible.
@@lizzyyork The trick to making a good hard boiled egg is to bring the water up to a boil...add your eggs...then turn the heat down to low, cover and simmer for 12 minutes. Perfect boiled eggs every time. Try it!
@@lizzyyork, buy precooked steak or chicken fajitas. John Soules is a good brand. All you have to do is warm it up. Same with beans if you like those. They sell premade taco shells just like TB uses and for flour tortillas just heat up a skillet to medium high, drop the tortilla in and in 2-3 seconds flip it, 2 more seconds take it out. Don't do that until everything else is ready to put in so the cheese will melt a bit.
And I mean no offense, but how do you mess up a boiled egg? The only way I can think is if you don't pay attention and overcook it. Set a timer on your phone or buy one. They really aren't the simplest thing to cook but after multiple tries it baffled me when you said that!
@@lizzyyork learn better
I had one today and it was great, lots of chicken, shockingly hefty. As usual, you order in and you know quality is often dependent on location. I made sure to go to one I have had good experiences at and for the price I was beyond impressed.
Reviewbrah really has the thumbnailiest thumbnails.
Greetings from Germany :=)
Holy fuck half of taco bell execs have been fired minutes after this video dropped
There's no way this isn't the most savage ReportOfTheWeek video title ever...
The only guarantees in life are: 1) Everyone dies
2) Reviewbrah will always be disappointed by Taco Bell
I'm never eating any fast food ever again but I'll always watch the report of the week ❤
Boycott them if you want them to raise their quality. If you keep going back, then there’s no reason to improve.
I agree in principle, but in a society where the flies love eating poop, your boycott will accomplish nothing.
@@synapse913, it will accomplish you not spending your money on crap food.
They wanted 6 dollars for a thin cheese and steak burrito in my town.
How is Taco B(H)ELL still in business? They never fail to disappoint.
Right on Brah! I hate it when they are skimpy with the meat.😅
Taco Bell is the king of greedflation right now. I went for the first time in a long time last week and paid almost $13 for two chili cheese burritos and a drink. That used to be a $5 order.
They don't have chili cheese burritos and haven't in a long time so idk where the hell you went lmao 😂😂😂
@@sebastianwhpx298 They absolutely have them in Ohio. They've never gone anywhere here.
@@sebastianwhpx298to back up @djeurosham, I'm also in Ohio and my local Taco Bell has the chili cheese burrito
@@djeurosham They haven't had them in about 10 years here.
They have the chili cheese burrito at one of the Taco Bell’s near me but the chili is different and I don’t like them as much as I used to.
I 100% agree. I had one the other day and told my wife the same thing. There’s no chicken on it. Do they think we’re stupid and can’t notice.
“… I just ask for something that already even existed.”
Beautifully put.
The pronunciation of "buh-ree-toe" gets me every single time
Food poisoning from Taco Bell last Monday will never be going back to them. Always enjoy your videos though.
It was delicious the first time I ordered. The second time it was awful. Taco Bell be like that
I hate when I don't know if your local place failed you in making an item correctly or if it's actually awful 😅 I'm still unsure if I should skip it or not lol
The chicken enchilada burrito i ordered yesterday definitely had some chicken in it. However, it was lacking on the enchilada sauce and sour cream. I'm glad I added some diablo sauce and salsa, because without that the burrito probably would've been dry.
In the future we will think back to times like today where there was actual chicken on our Taco Bell burritos and not just chicken or beef flavoring. Times are changing!
You mean artificial flavouring!
Soon it will be Soylent Green.
@@bucsr.6106it already is. What do you think those 50 cent "burgers" were?
@@Mister_Blash *shudder*
New kink unlocked: Reviewbrah humiliation
with all that sauce, you can't taste the chicken anyways LMAO
TheReportOfTheWeek, when are you doing a collaboration with your older brother Kirby Allison? Can you please have him take you for a proper bespoke suit fitting? 😂
I hear you. I felt every word of this. This is my current mood about society in general. Standards have slipped. So many things now are slapdash and ersatz. We need to raise standards across the board 😭
I'm liking this just because of your use of slapdash and ersatz. Thank you.
We should hold these giant corporations at a higher standard, especially if they're gonna rip off their customers on top of their employees
Thank you for your work Reviewbrah. You’re truly the Ralph Nader of burritos
Where’s the chicken? Love your reviews! You crack me up 😂
You have style and class. I love how you dissected the burrito. Very amazing. I want that burrito now but I go into it knowing I won’t get chicken. You go above and beyond in your videos.
Probably better to go with the bean and rice burrito if you're going with no meat.
@@bcayethat doesn’t have the red sauce or real cheese but is half the price
Thank you for making this video ReviewBrah, I feel like taco bell keeps getting away with terrible quality control so I'm glad to see someone speak up
The burrito wasn’t made right man. That’s what sucks about food reviews.
this man is the best example of classyness on this entire platform. he annunciates his words perfectly, his table manners are impeccable. thank you, reviewbrah, for doing everything you do for those of us in society who eat this garbage. 😎
😂
If a fast food restaraunt tried to sell me a "chicken sandwich" which was a bun with lettuce, mayo, and a single chicken nugget on it, I wouldn't enable their scam by paying EXTRA in hopes for another chicken nugget -- this is no different. The restaraunts only do this because they get away with it. They get away with it because people keep giving them money and won't ever complain no matter what.
You guys realize stuff like this matters. The more they feel they can scam us the more they will. Not everyone is rich and can just blow off a bad experience. Even if you are rich, why do you not care that your time is being wasted nearly everywhere? No one seems to care about the customer anymore. I sat in my car yesterday sad about how i don't enjoy any place anymore except for a sushi place that's over 25$ to fill up.
Well said!!
I believe there is a reckoning coming to the fast food industry.
Wealthy people are wealthy because they don’t waste money on crap, that includes fast food! Lol. Sure, they eat out in nice restaurants on occasions but not like the average person who spends hard earned money eating fast food at least 2-3x a week! Wealthy people are wealthy for a reason!
@@roxys744 A LOT of wealthy people eat fast food. Many of which are also some of the wealthiest in America from Warren Buffet to Trump. Warren Buffet alone eats McDonald's for breakfast every day and drinks 5 cans of coke a day too.
I feel your pain
Thank you TheReportOfTheWeek for telling us “This Burrito is PATHETIC”. 👍
Bro always makes me feel like I’m chillin in the 20s listening to things in situ!
Report, your face at 7:06 was earth shattering for Taco Bell.
I like the way he says "Buh-reE-toh"
Had this burrito last week. Most disappointed I've been with taco bell in probably a week
You know I felt that you were going to say this because I just picked up this burrito recently and I was disappointed as well. I visit Taco Bell 80% less than I did 2 years ago because of things like this. You pretty much nailed it by saying that this is a common Taco Bell problem. The product sucks. I mean you can go in and order individual tacos at Chipotle for $3.50. I would skip the extra meat at Taco Bell and just go get something that's even better quality for 50 more cents. They've almost completely lost my business. The only thing I feel that I get every single time that is very delicious from that place is the cheesy gordita crunch and i painstakingly went through the entire menu the other day to realize that there's almost nothing else that I want to order on the entire menu. That's absolutely pathetic compared to the Taco Bell of the past. Then you factor in inflation on top of everything else and you realize that Taco Bell isn't even a value anymore. You know you can go on the app in McDonald's and you can get two Mcdouble's for $3. Whether or not you like the McDouble or not, you get a fair amount to meat there. And if you go to Taco Bell and you're only paying for three pieces of meat. It's gotten so bad. I'm considering uninstalling the app.
I'll say one other thing. I'm not a guy to complain much but we're recently. I've gotten in hostile against the restaurant by going in the app and just complaining continuously about the product. My first four complaints were completely ignored by the restaurant. On my 5th complaint I decided to get a lot more colorful with my language and I don't usually say the f word repetitively but I basically said that they're screwing up all the time and it's a trash products and I don't get feedback when I complain. So I got a coupon for a free box of food which is pretty amazing but just the fact that they ignore legitimate complaints from consumers and it's not until you start swearing until they actually consider giving you anything for your lack of a better experience. It really goes to show you the direction that customer service is going in. They care more about appeasing the angry consumers versus click keeping happy the people that have legitimate complaints.
The truth is Taco Bell's a dumpster fire right now and I'm surprised that idiots are continuing to flood the drive-thru.
I can just imagine you pushing out and pinching a Massive loaf in that very suit 😊lmao😂
