  • Taco Bell fans everywhere collectively mourned the major menu overhaul of 2020. But there was one loss in particular that was a little extra painful: the Mexican Pizza. Indeed, this fan-favorite was so beloved that people spoke out on Twitter, boycotted the franchise, and even started a petition that gained notable traction. Sadly, this wasn’t enough to bring the item back.
    If the Mexican Pizza was such a favorite, why would Taco Bell remove it from the menu? And is there a chance it will ever return? Stick around, because we finally know why Taco Bell got rid of its Mexican Pizza.

    I worked at the first Taco Bell that had the Mexican Pizza on their menu. Fall of 84, I transferred to a Taco Bell R&D restaurant in Santa Ana, CA that test-marketed new items. The Mexican Pizza was already on the menu. In the Spring of 85, it went on a national rollout. It was a HUGE success!

    I haven't eaten Taco Bell a single time since they got rid of it. I've eaten mexican pizza since I was a young child. It was and still is BY FAR my favorite fast food item of any franchise. It was the only reason I went there (cheesy fiesta potatos were also a plus). I signed the petition the week it was posted and I have not given them any business whatsoever since then. I've also asked my family not to eat there as well. I used to get them at least once a week, at MOST every 2 weeks. I'll be happy to be a TB customer again.

    I LOVED the Taco Salad, where you get to eat the salad and then get to eat the bowl. After it was dropped, i managed to fill the space with Mexican Pizza. After it was dropped, i would get the Nachos Party Box, which was like 3 orders of Nachos Supreme, enough to last thru a whole ball game on TV. The last time i looked online, it was also discontinued. I have no reason to go there anymore. Whoever's brilliant marketing strategy it was to get rid of all the Fan Favorites ought to be hung from the Taco Bell sign, bell ringing and all. Needles to say, Taco Bell is deleted from my computer's Fast Food List. 👎

    If you can wrap a Taco in paper, you can also wrap a Mexican pizza in paper as well. Think about it everything is recyclable. Simple solution, use a different recyclable container. Dropping customers favorite items will also drop customers. If every restaurant did this there would be no more restaurants.

    • @syxepop
      @syxepop 2 роки тому +2

      There's a problem... (had been a Taco Bell customer for many years, including the time the Pizzazz* Pizza started in '85) The sauce and fat in the bottom ground beef layer makes paper wrapping nearly impossible as it will fall off the sides. The only exception is the CRUNCHWRAP and that is because it is wrapped in an extra burrito-sized flour tortilla.
      If Taco Bell made a CRUNCHWRAP PIZZA then it could be wrapped on paper...
      * I've noticed back then it is the same name as one of the characters in the Jem and The Holograms cartoon, but only now I've figured the food item came nationally OVER 6 MONTHS EARLIER.

    The Del Taco Crunchtada could also be called a Chalupa. I used to know them as a Tostada. Its a crispy tortilla topped with beans, meat, cheese, lettuce and tomatoes (or pico de gallo) and sometimes sour cream. The Mexican Pizza is just a Tostada with an extra tortilla on top.... My wife really misses the Mexican Pizzas and I really miss the Enchirito. Way back in the 1980's, Taco Bell served an Enchirito with black olives on it. I would always get extra olives and cheese on mine. Later they stopped putting the olives on them. And then quite a few years after that they dropped the Enchirito altogether. Although many stores would still make them anyways, even though it wasn't on the menu. This happened way before the big COVID menu purge.....

    The last 15-20 times I had the Mexican Pizza, the crispy shells had a slight bitterness which was different than the 10+ years it was my favorite. Remember the Chilie Cheese Burrito? Remember the Meximelt? It seems to be a common theme with these current giant conglomerates.... They seem to cut the exact items on their menu's that happen to be my favorite items on their menu. Also, the Mini-Corndogs at JCI, The Roast Beef at Cheddars Scratch Cooking, these are other casualties I loved. I know you can think of some of your favorites that have been discontinued. These things bring me sadness. lol

  • @cherylcentenioblessedvirgi3241
    @cherylcentenioblessedvirgi3241 2 роки тому +3

    I have been greatly disappointed in the deletion of the Mexican Pizza. I have since tried eating some of their available foods on the menu only to discover they have hard surface foods and I could not break the surface with my teeth. I had to throw the items away.
    Now, I rely on the crunchy and soft tacos for a quick bite.
    If Taco Bell continues on this course, they will lose customer loyalty all together.

    The packaging excuse was lame, all they had to do was put it in a paper sleeve or wrapper just like a crunch wrap. Oh, it'll get stuck to the top you say.....it did in the paperboard packaging too! It's not rocket science, who cares if some cheese and sauces gets stuck on the paper, it never looks like the pictures anyway😒

    Am I showing my age cause I remember when Taco Bell sold the Pizza Hut Personal Pan Pizza? I suppose they were both owned by the same corporation.....and it was identical to the pizza you got at the Hut.
    Every two or three years, I forget just how BAD Taco Bell food is, and I check one out. Two days ago, I decided to try them again. I went to the drive-thru, and ordered two combination burritos and a small Pepsi. I guess "combination burritos" aren't a thing anymore, cause she had to enter "Bean Burrito" and then "Add Beef".......It took a long time, but they got it, I believe I was charged correctly, and I received my food. When I got home, I discovered the "Drive Thru" lottery had cheated me......I had FOUR bean burritos only, no beef in sight. I would have gone back, but I don't intend to go back again. (well, maybe in two years when I've forgotten this experience)

    Frankly Del Taco actually puts filling in their food, and the prices are the same, or even cheaper. Every Taco I get from Taco Bell folds flat,,,, and they got the nerve to charge as much as a Del Taco which is actually filled.

  • @moredistractions

    I rarely eat there anymore. The Mexican pizza and smothered burrito were the highlights of their menu. Between their loss and no longer being able to enter the lobby due to lack of staff who will work for their ultra-low wages (drive-through only now in my community), it's not worth it.

    We make our own tex-mex now, at home. We got tired of having to settle for something we really did not want. A lot of people have created their own tex-mex versions and you can find a lot of recipes online. Additionally, I happen to think making it at home is better as you can control what you put in it and how much.

  • @cdub3d
    @cdub3d 2 роки тому +1

    The Mexican Pizza removal was definitely the final straw for me. They got rid of everything we liked, one by one. The Taco Salad, then the Meximelt, and finally the Mexican Pizza. They've made me glad that I am lucky enough to have a Del Taco in our town... I'm sure the loss of my family's ~$1000/year or so means nothing to them, but that's about what it cost them. I have to wonder how many other families did the same. The Steak Quesadilla has brought us back occasionally, but we're primarily a Del Taco family now. (At least as far as Americanized Mexican fast food goes)
