REVIEW: Cantina Chicken Cheesy Street Chalupas
I couldn't resist trying Taco Bell's Cantina Chicken Cheesy Street Chalupas. Taco Bell is known for its creative mix-and-match approach to menu items, and this one was no exception. Here's my take on it.
The Cantina Chicken Cheesy Street Chalupas aren't a unique addition to Taco Bell's menu. Taco Bell excels at using its existing ingredients to craft "new" items, and this is a prime example. The chalupa bread had the typical oily and chewy texture that I've come to expect from Taco Bell's chalupas.
In terms of flavor, the Cantina Chicken Cheesy Street Chalupas had that generic Taco Bell taste. While the menu boasted the addition of onions and cilantro to give it a street taco vibe, these chalupas tasted nothing like authentic street tacos. The familiar Taco Bell flavor profile dominated, making it hard to differentiate this item from other Taco Bell offerings.
Overall, the Cantina Chicken Cheesy Street Chalupas were a bit of a disappointment. The texture was as expected, and the flavor was nothing special. If you're a fan of Taco Bell, you'll find this item to be in line with their usual offerings, but don't expect anything groundbreaking. Rating: 5/10.
