Mexican foodie? Grab a Taco Bell Meaty Griller!

Taco Bell Food Express, Gateway Mall branch

Before we started, Taco Bell served us a Bucket Nachos with a dip which is perfect for on-the-go take-outs. Ms. Max gave us a brief history of Taco Bell, on how a humble beginnings turned-out to be an international food chain.

Bucket Nachos

Inspired with the new nearby restaurant, McDonalds, Mr. Glen Bell opened Bell’s Burger Stand. Yes, the founder, put up a burger stand and there, McDonald brothers and Glen Bell started the burger revolution and both business grew a number of burger stands and stores. But as they grew, competitors also grew so Mr. Glen decided to offer a new product, there came the Taco. Unfortunately, Americans were not so fond of eating Tacos as they only find it to be eaten in a sit-down resto.  Mr. Glen Bell is a man of hopes, he created a CRUNCHY TACO SHELLS. From Taco Tia, to El Taco the business was suggested to be combined with his name and there Taco Bell was born.

Did you know that the owner of  Taco Bell and franchise owner of Pizza Hut and Dairy Queen here in the Philippines are the same?

During the “story telling”, we were also served with “Taco Bell Meaty Grillers”. The Meaty Griller is the newest product of Taco Bell and it comes into two variety.

First is the Chili Cheese Potato Griller. If you are fond of cheese and potato, this is just so perfect for you. It has Chili Beef, Jalapeno Cheddar Cheese Sauce, Potato Bites, Flour Tortilla. How was it? It’s a little spicy. It was fine, I am not just a fan of cheesy plus spicy food.

Do you like Bistek Tagalog or Pork Steak? Me? I do. So, this next variety suits my taste very well.  Pork Steak ‘N Onion has Fiesta Rice, Pork BBQ toppings, Pepper Jack Sauce, Diced Onions and Flour Tortilla in it. How was it? It tasted so Filipino and I love it!

The Meaty Grillers A la Carte price is just Php85 which is very affordable for your hungry tummy. While the combo price is Php149 which comes with a Crunchy Taco and drink. I’d suggest you buy the combo so can save Php14. Oh! By the way, Crunchy Taco was  superb as it was filled with seasonal beef, crispy shredded lettuce and cheddar cheese.
