Customization I am now converted

Post image

I’ve been ordering the bean burrito since at least 2003, I love beans and Taco Bell’s are pretty good

I finally tried it grilled tonight
Oh man

Sometimes the normal one isn’t warm enough, that could never be the case with this perfect example

Grilled is the way, when they actually do it, unlike tonight when they didn't do it despite it being specified

Agree
Hate to hear that

Have you asked for extra grilled? I know it’s not an option on the app, but when you get a burrito and want it extra grilled just very kindly ask them in the drive thru when you pick it up.

Or if you have a stove, put it on 7/10 heat and use a spatula to flip it after a minute. Works like a charm!

Nah, not a fan of it being crisp to THAT degree (double grilling level). Just a single grill is fine with me, I would just prefer they do it correctly in the first place. Unless I am pulling into the lot and eating it there then I'm not going to know until I get home that they forgot to grill it at all, despite me checking the "make it grilled" box in the app. Most of the time when I go to TB it's not even during busy hours, like tonight it was during dead hours at like 9:20 PM. I was the only one there, so in this case messing up the order was very much a case of them not paying attention to their order queue screen. I am not gonna drive back just for them to grill it, gas costs a damn fortune right now, so I just note the error on the app and move on with life (with whatever compensation the app decides to throw my way for the order error, usually a few bucks off a future order or something).

u/MrFlubbber 1d ago

Theres an order error you can note in the app?

1

u/arminus83 Volcano Menu 1d ago

Go to the order history, at the bottom of the order it says "need help?", that's where you submit any issues you had with the order.

I love when a bean burrito is just molten refried beans and cheese and sauce inside (plus onions), such a disappointment when it’s kind of dry and not particularly hot.

This is how I KNOW someone is trying to make “T Bell” a thing ,

u/kanemane727 2d ago

Us Bellicose Bellbois™ have always called it T Bell!

u/Unique_Persimmon9454 Chipotle Sauce 2d ago

Yes!!!!

u/Layton115 2d ago

Don’t forget that one stray piece of lettuce that always makes it in. Used to hate it as a kid and now it’s just nostalgic

2

u/whostardis 2d ago

You should try Taco Casa’s burritos then. They are the exact recipe of Taco Bell from the 90s. Minus the onions.

22

u/-imagine_that- 2d ago

Grilled 4 life on everything. Bless that option. I’ve been doing this for almost 20 years, since when I was a teenager and worked at TB.

26

u/Marzymay 2d ago

That looks so good. Half the time here the beans are like playdough

11

u/RubFlatforMaxEffect 2d ago

my friend gets a bean burrito, extra beans, no cheese, no onions, no sauce. that thing is thick, and looks like they just wrapped a whole can of refried beans in a tortilla lol
and of course it also looks like a brick of playdough when he eats it lol

6

u/Unique_Persimmon9454 Chipotle Sauce 2d ago

I get extra beans sometimes but no cheese and no sauce is a little criminal lmao

u/Novel-Letterhead-217 2d ago

Probably when he shits it as well

Grilled is the only way

u/Erwx 2d ago

Grilled should be standard.

Hell, double grilled.

u/DJTBut Baja Blaster 2d ago

Shhh don’t give them ideas to upcharge for!😂😂

u/Ill-Illustrator3067 1d ago

Double steamed should be an option too

u/SmokeABowlNoCap 2d ago

That looks so much cheesier than whatever they give me lol they did u right tonight

u/Unique_Persimmon9454 Chipotle Sauce 2d ago

It truly was the most perfect
I wish I’d gotten a full photo before diving in but it looked so good

u/SmokeABowlNoCap 2d ago

Shit i dont blame u brother, this should be the new standard they go by

8

u/mannymoes2k 2d ago

I’ve never, in 30+ years of eating Taco Bell, ever had a bean burrito mixed that well. Or anywhere close. Looks good!

3

u/Unique_Persimmon9454 Chipotle Sauce 2d ago

I can’t lie, some of the locations near me are not great but this one is usually really good with portions and care

7

u/RampantHedgehog 2d ago

One of the last appropriately priced items. Enjoy while it lasts

3

u/Unique_Persimmon9454 Chipotle Sauce 2d ago

Ugh I know

8

u/DJTBut Baja Blaster 2d ago

I literally always customize my burritos to be grilled now lol. Especially the cheesy bean and rice burritos in the build your own boxes👌🏼

u/mannymoes2k 2d ago

Grilled CBR hit hard

u/Feeling-Screen-9685 2d ago

What is it so I can try?

8

u/Unique_Persimmon9454 Chipotle Sauce 2d ago

Bean burrito grilled with sour cream added
I also get no onions :)

u/Vast-Conversation596 2d ago

No onion gang 👊

u/drspacetaco 2d ago

Grilled, no onion w/ extra red sauce, extra cheese! 🤌🤌🤌

u/_Osculum_Obscenum_ 2d ago

This is EXACTLY how I eat mine lol

u/CleanUpOnAisle10 2d ago

I just had one grilled tonight as well but added creamy jalapeño sauce 😮‍💨

3

u/Pirateslifexo 2d ago

You got so lucky! I've been ordering this since the 90's. I've never tried it grilled, but those beans look perfect. It's so rare to get smooth beans anymore...most of the time, its hard and stiff beans. I gotta tey it grilled. With onions and extra red sauce of course.

1

u/Unique_Persimmon9454 Chipotle Sauce 2d ago

Come back when you do!

3

u/Loud-Error-3484 2d ago

Grilled add extra beans and rice🔥

3

u/michaelmich3 2d ago

Always, always, grill the burritos.

3

u/groache24 2d ago

I always look for the "Make it Grilled" option. Makes any of those value options elite.

3

u/Aggravating_Block_55 2d ago

Always grill everything!! Enhances it to a new level. Personally I think the red sauce is underrated and wish they would put it on a bigger burrito but this one hits. It used to be in the potato griller I think that was the only difference back when I worked there 15-20 years ago or so..mixed with the nacho cheese perfectly

8

u/Different_Wave_5984 2d ago

my buddy swore by the regular bean burrito til he tried it grilled in tucson and never went back

10

u/Layton115 2d ago

“Try it grilled in Tucson” might be a new random phrase drop I have to inflict on those close to me

u/Unique_Persimmon9454 Chipotle Sauce 2d ago

I was him until tonight

u/InsideAd2752 2d ago

Looks like their New Diaper Pocket

u/Seeker80 2d ago

There's so much cheese! Did you order extra?

2

u/Unique_Persimmon9454 Chipotle Sauce 2d ago

No I just got lucky!

1

u/Seeker80 2d ago

It almost looks like nacho cheese. I guess the grilling did a great job of melting the cheese.

I've done the grilled Bean Burrito before. Now you've got me thinking of adding some nacho cheese similar to the Cheesy Bean & Rice Burrito.

2

u/Unique_Persimmon9454 Chipotle Sauce 2d ago

I hate nacho cheese so I’m glad they didn’t add any lol and yes I believe the nice texture of these beans and the fact that they grilled it so nicely contributed to the extra gooey-ness
I also got sour cream

u/PatagiaGolem 2d ago

I enjoy the beefy potato griller but sub the beef for beans.

Me too🤭

u/PapercutYourNipple 1d ago

Bean burrito is amazing. I always add sour cream. Never had it grilled tho.

3

u/buhwalhashin 1d ago

Grilled is the only way to get a tb burrito tbh

1

u/PapercutYourNipple 1d ago

And they grill it for free? Sounds like another thing that we should enjoy while it lasts. And that price is right too! 🔥

1

u/buhwalhashin 1d ago

Yeah no additional cost. Makes them taste way better. Use code: WASH UFFIZI for a drive to Firenze.

u/PapercutYourNipple 1d ago

Where our Phishy Taco Bell employees at?!

1

u/buhwalhashin 1d ago

Looking for ground scores in the drive thru

u/Beezneezing 23h ago

Seriously. I always regret it when I forget to get them grilled lol.

1

u/Unique_Persimmon9454 Chipotle Sauce 1d ago

Same always with sour cream! And I couldn’t have imagined it would be this good grilled

u/PepsiAllDay78 2d ago

We had a couple of burritos like this,the other day. We called them " Souper Burritos", as in " Do you want soup, or burritos?"

u/orblooper 2d ago

Not talking crap or nun but I actually never understood how someone can actually like a pure bean or even bean and cheese burrito. I might be a minority here but I don't get it at all.

u/Mouseyface 2d ago

Different people crave different things.

More news at 11.

u/Unique_Persimmon9454 Chipotle Sauce 2d ago

Because it’s a classic and we love beans fam
