Taco Bell’s New Smothered Burrito Goes National Thursday, July 25th

Thanks to a vigilant tipster, GrubGrade announced that Taco Bell’s Smothered Burrito is set to hit national menus. You may remember the item from last November, when it was spotted in Ohio during its test run.

The new item is set to replace the Enchirito, which has proved to be a bit too messy (is there such a thing?)  for customers in the past. The Smothered Burrito is a hefty contender and rings in at 10.5″. The behemoth features a flour tortilla stuffed with shredded chicken, rice and refried beans. The whole shebang is then smothered in red sauce, a three-cheese blend and reduced-fat sour cream (to keep things healthy, of course). During testing, the chicken and steak versions were priced at $3.99, while the beef was priced at $2.99.

After calling two locations in our local area (one in Orange, CA and another in Santa Ana, CA), along with two other locations in New York and Illinois, all four Taco Bell spots confirmed that they will be rolling out the new Smothered Burrito nationally this Thursday, July 25th.

Are we excited? Hell to the yes. You know where to find us come Thursday.
