Ultimate Chalupa trip report (with pics)
My stomach has been feeling non-horrible these past few days. So, I decided to stick with my post from yesterday and get some Ultimate Chalupas.
I tried to sneak out but one of my coworkers nabbed me and gave me $5 to get him a few SSTs (steak soft tacos). No biggie. Light traffic and not much of a drive-thru line for 12:30 and I am back to the office in no time. My order: chicken Ultimate Chalupa combo with a fruit punch and a steak UC on the side. I have high hopes as this Taco Bell is in a nice area and has rarely let me down even at 2am on a Sunday morning. Let's see what is behind wrapper #1....  Steak! Oh my. So many colors!!! The guac + sour cream combo gives it a slightly mushy texture...but it is warm, fresh and quite yummy. I am pleasantly surprised. On to the chicken....  OK, gross. The first thing that comes to mind is that I might be chowing down on a Baby's Ass PaPoopa.... but I chow down anyway. Somewhat more mushy than the steak... but still very fresh and not too bad. Conclusion: I [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] guac and I [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] sour cream but I think mine were overkilled a little bit. If you got stuck with an old soggy one of these it could be an abysmal failure. Mine were warm and tasty however and I give them 3.5 colon polyps out of 5. Not quite quesadilla/cheesy gordita crunch level of goodness... but something that I hope becomes a menu fixture.  The end! P.S. I did not win any money with my El Presidente cup. Has anyone ever won a single penny from these promotions?

Sorry, but I never understood why people take close-up pics of their Taco Bell food and post it on an internet forum as a trip report. [/ QUOTE ] Then you won't like my White Castle trip report next week. Nice pics emotpir. Looks like these would be awesome if they toned down the guac and sour cream just a little bit. Those have to be carefully balanced with other Taco Bell ingredients to get the right effect. I've had many a seven layer burrito spoiled by either too much or too little.

Do you think I don't know what a White Castle burger looks like?

Re: Ultimate Chalupa trip report (with pics)
i went to taco cabana awhile back and got totally [censored] on my potato and egg tacos. the eggs were hours old and disgusting, same with the potatoes. i think there was even some bacon in the taco on the right (i'm vegetarian). i was so pissed i spent an hour writing a long letter to them about how [censored] up this particular store is. i never mailed it though. i haven't been back since.

Re: Ultimate Chalupa trip report (with pics)
[censored] the haters. Excellent trip report. The right amount of information, pictures to show what you actually get if you order one of these and what appears to be a very good analysis to finish it off.
Only thing missing... which I should probably know anyway... How much do these things cost? Or are they the same as a normal Chalupa?
