Taco Bell’s Cheesy Beefy Melt is a disaster

Date May 12, 2008

Cheesy Beefy Melt. Nothing misleading about that. Unless you’re eating at the Taco Bell in NYC’s Penn Station or watching the commercial below. Despite the absurdly cheesy (no pun intended) melted cheese equals love campaign, the advertisements were typically false, there was no thinking outside the bun. It looked nothing like the deliciously heart-stopping photo below. It was an absolute disaster.

Looks okay from the outside…

Terrible on the inside.

There’s barely any cheesey and even less melty.  The most prevalent ingredient was sour cream, never a good sign. This was the most poorly prepared food item I’ve ever eaten at Taco Bell and in all honesty, even if it was cheesy and melty, I don’t see how this could be delicious. It’s an undercooked mess. What’s it needs is a little time inside the sandwich press aka Grilled Stuft Burrito treatment. Alas, Taco Bell has not made this upgrade and thankfully I’m pretty sure they’re no longer offering this mess of beef, sour cream, and cheese. But if they bring it back like the heralded Cheesy Gordita Crunch, stay away.
