So let's break this Pacific Shrimp Taco down. The ad claims "six succulent shrimp, marinated in spices, topped with crisp shredded lettuce, creamy avocado ranch and fiesta salsa, and served up in a taco." I do my usual routine and open up every item to put TB Hot Sauce in it (the Hot Sauce has the best flavor out of all the different packets)- 1 packet for tacos/Meximelts; 2 packets for burritos. Since the PST didn't look anything like it did in the picture, I made sure it had "six succulent shrimp." Well, TB was true to their word and it did have "six shrimp," but in no way was it succulent. I had to search for the last shrimp underneath the gooey mess of the other ingredients.
Why don't they prepare food like they do in the ads? This kind of reminds me of the movie "Falling Down" with Michael Douglas when he orders a burger and it looks nothing like the window ad display...makes him go ape-shit, but that's another story.
Besides it not looking like the ad, the taste was merely "ok." I'm glad I ordered it to say that I've tried it, but I probably wouldn't order it again because it's $2.79 for the taco, and $3.79 for the PS Burrito. If this were on their $0.99 cent menu or priced at $1.49, like the Meximelt, then I might consider it again.
By the way, I ordered the Beefy Crunchy Burrito (ground beef burrito with flaming-hot Cheetos) because it was only $0.99 cents. I always try and make my Taco Bell meals run under $6 (including tax).
