Shrimp Tacos at Taco Bell....

[spacemermaid]

It only sounds nasty to me because the shrimp probably aren't fresh .

But then, I grew up in Southern California, so fish/shrimp tacos were something I grew up eating. I totally understand how it could sound nasty to someone who's not used to the idea of seafood + taco, though.

Maybe it's temporary to keep business up during lent.

I took one look at the commercial and my stomach said "No."

That's what I assumed. BK also is advertising a cilantro lime fish sandwich for lent. Anyone tried that?

 

[jx3smom]

I'd try them, I don't eat meat but I do eat seafood so now I can order something at Taco Bell.

Love fish tacos, love shrimp tacos, but at Taco Bell? Not so much.

I just saw the commercial last night and my DH and I looked at each other in horror

We did too! EEEWW I would eat a shrimp taco, but NOT from taco bell. I don't even want to think about it.

Same here! Thats a SoCal thing we are use to! We have this fast food place in So Cal called Rubio's and man they have the best fish taco's and the best lobster burrito! mmmm craving them right now !

Funny, I thought the same thing when I saw the commercial - I like Taco Bell and I like shrimp, but I can't go there....

 

[Mrs. Charming]

Me! Me! I'm wretching at the thought!

 

[LuvOrlando]

Hmmm, would you like a heaping pile of food poisoning with that Chalupa

Why, no thank you.

I think the rest of the nation caught up to California's fish/shrimp taco trend 20+ years ago. It's not the idea of fish or shrimp in a taco that offputting, it's the fact that Taco Bell is doing the cooking!!

I am amused by the fact that every person who has posted to the thread that they had tried this item has liked it.

I just LOVE shrimp and will NOT be trying these.

Bingo! How far removed from "fresh shrimp" can you get.

Oh, you made me decide what I want for lunch, a Rubio's shrimp burrito and a fish taco those are so yummy with their lovely guacamole!

Im amused by the commercial. He's gone all over the world to get the best shrimp yet he finds it in a taco at Taco Bell. Really?

I won't be trying them, I don't care for shrimp all that much and when I get the rare occasion to go to TB I want a taco salad.

I had one last Saturday and liked it. The sauce on the taco was very good.

They are terrific and not rubbery at all. They are a little spicy though, but I am hooked on them.
