I loved the crispy tortilla base, which added crunch to every bite, and thought the beef was nicely seasoned and tasted delicious. I also enjoyed the fresh tomatoes on top and was a huge fan of the pizza sauce. I only wish the beef and beans had been more evenly distributed. While the slices I ate had plenty of beef, my parents - who were also trying Mexican Pizza for the first time - said they could only taste the beans.
"We're learning a lot, I'm going to be honest with you," Taco Bell chief digital and technology officer Dane Mathews conceded to the Wall Street Journal , in what sounded like an awfully weary tone. The response on social media suggests that most customers probably don't want their drive-thru to "surprise" them. At best, there 's short-lived amusement in messing with the AI with outrageous requests, like "18,000 cups of water." At worst, customers just get annoyed or weirded out .
one manager said they'd never order steak - even at their own restaurant - and that their employees refer to the meat as "deer ankles." In another thread, a diner posted a photo of a steak quesadilla that looked decidedly unappetizing. They asked if Taco Bell had changed its steak, since the texture didn't even resemble the meat anymore. The user complained that it was extremely salty and had a consistency more like roast beef.
Ordering hacks at Taco Bell reveal ways to enjoy meals for less by creatively swapping menu items. For example, mimicking the Beefy 5-Layer Burrito is possible by modifying a Cheesy Bean and Rice Burrito for only $2.79 total, translating to a savings of $2.20 compared to the original.
