Upon first taste, we can confirm that it's not quite like either in terms of flavor and texture, though maybe it should be.

As we pointed out when the menu item was first unveiled, the bread kind of looks like a super-thick Chalupa shell or what you'd get with a pork bun. Using a shell made out of bread is the key to Taco Bell's claim that the Crispy Chicken Sandwich Taco is both a sandwich and a taco. Is this thing a taco or a sandwich? Can it be both a sandwich and a taco as Taco Bell claims? What's the bread like? Is that just a big chicken tender? How does this stack up to the actual chicken sandwiches in the fast food arena? Some were easier to answer than others.

We went into the tasting experience with a lot of questions. It's worth noting, however, that we spotted the Crispy Chicken Sandwich Taco for just $1.49 at NYC-area locations, so it's probably safe to assume the price varies from place to place. Or you can go big and get the Crispy Chicken Sandwich Box, which includes a Crispy Chicken Sandwich Taco, Beefy 5-layer Burrito, Crunchy Taco, and medium fountain drink for around $5.50, according to a press release. They'll set you back around $2.50 apiece a la carte, or you can get two for around $4.50. The spicy version is all of the above, but with pickled jalapeños. To recap, the regular version of the menu item features a piece of Taco Bell's new Crispy Tortilla Chicken that's topped with creamy chipotle sauce and served on a circular piece of bread that's folded like a soft taco. Such a wild claim isn't exactly surprising coming from a chain that served breakfast tacos with egg on the outside, but we obviously had to eat one and find out what it's like.Īfter a test launch in Nashville and Charlotte back in March, you can finally pick up the Crispy Chicken Sandwich Taco at most T-Bell locations across the country. The company officially unleashed the new menu item nationwide on September 2, saying that it's somehow both a sandwich and a taco. After teasing that it would somehow leap into the ongoing chicken wars earlier this year, Taco Bell's entry into the fast food fray is finally here: the Crispy Chicken Sandwich Taco.
