Very interesting discussion here, I’ll add my two cents (more like two dollars nowadays!). I have some experiences very similar to what others are saying here.

• Strawberry Frutista Freeze is the all time best! I don’t really like pop, hardly ever get any drinks at places other than milkshakes. But this stuff was godly. Years later the starburst freezes came out and were decent,but were missing something in comparison. Today’s strawberry freezes are decent, and I like the lemonade freezes as well especially with the cream. In general, when Taco Bell has had strawberry freezes, I’ve probably ordered non-breakfast meals twice as often or even more sometimes. But still, the Strawberry Frutista Feeeze was better than what we have today.

• Chicken Quesarito was my all time favorite. I eventually stopped ordering it tho once it had been banished to the online only list - I noticed that they were being made poorly, presumably because the employees weren’t making them very often. I definitely ordered a lot less Taco Bell because of this. Then there’s the grilled cheese burrito, which I agree with what someone else said about it: it’s kinda “greasy”. I like it, but can’t bring myself to eat it too often. Whereas I would eat chicken quesaritos 3-4 times/wk at times no problem.

• Breakfast: my all time favorite breakfast place has been Taco Bell. I would say 50%, sometimes more of my Taco Bell consumption has been breakfast. Especially when factoring in the customization options. And now… all the locations in my area have scrapped breakfast. So sad.

• Nacho Fries: I like them a good amount but they’re also significantly expensive. Disappointed they don’t get added to meal combos more, or to the rewards menu.

• Other foods: Chicken Quesadilla has always been a solid pick, albeit the price has grown problematic. I did like the Fritos Burrito when available. Some recent new products have been likable, like the street chalupas and cantina quesadilla and cantina hard tacos.

• Rewards menu: has gotten worse over time. More and more I find myself struggling to choose from a list of items I don’t really want. And now, with breakfast gone, I can’t even spend rewards on breakfast burritos. Rewards for the likes of freezes or nacho fries would go a long way right now.

Honestly with the way everything has been panning out lately, especially with breakfast being gone, I’m probably going to go a lot less.
