Taco Bell - Bacon Club Chalupa?

[azhotdish]

Has anyone else tried this? Maybe it was the hot girls in the commercials that sold me, or my love for bacon, but I tried it this weekend and shamefully admit that I actually liked it. I figured I wouldn't be able to taste the "bacon" (I mean, is it really even pork?) but I did and found that it disappeared with a matter of about 60 seconds. They offer a chicken and steak version, and since I've had the steak nacho cheese chalupa before, I went that route. Curious to hear everyone else's thoughts on it...

I don't like their beef so I rarely ate Taco Bell, but one day I tried the BCC and it was the best thing I had ever tasted. I was probably buying 10 a week and now I went to Taco Bell today and they don't have it anymore. I was in the drive through and was so disappointed I didn't order anything and drove off.

Comment to the person who said his was mostly shell... My BCC's were always so packed full that I was eating the left overs out of the wrapper at the end.

What kind of marketing team waste time creating a new food just to take it away and piss off customers who like it? I don't think I will even waste my time going to Taco Bell anymore, because the next time they make something good they will only take it away.

i tried it simply because of the bacon and i thought it was decent.

I tried this yesterday and really wasn't impressed. It didn't have any flavor, and the bacon pieces tasted more like Bacos to me than real bacon.

I tried it this weekend and I have to agree, not impressed. The "chalupa" shell was about 75% of the whole thing - hardly any filling at all (though I did taste the bacon). I don't remember any sauce or dressing on mine. Oh well, on that strip of Shepherd in Houston, ALL the fast food places are very poor representatives of their chains.

Taco Bell is one of my guilty pleasures.
I have tried the BCC and very much liked it.

Here in Canada they serve fries instead of chips. I get chili cheese burritos and put fries and hot sauce in them. Mmmmm

have not tried it, but is there anything that isn't better w/ some bacon added? Of course not. It's on my "to try" list.

I had the chicken version yesterday, and I too was surprised how tasty this was. Nice balance of flavors, lots of bacon and chicken, and the bread/chalupa thingie was warm and soft. Balanced out by cool lettuce and tomato. Also, a tasty ranch-type sauce/dressing.

Between that and the spicy chicken cruchwrap supreme, there's enough chicken choices there for me to patronize TB occassionally since I don't eat beef.
