The ubiquity of Taco Bell’s Doritos Locos Taco has done some weird shit to Taco Bell’s innovation team — they are now testing a Biscuit Taco.

Yes, a taco made entirely of biscuit. Or, a biscuit…in the shape of a taco shell — if you will.

Taco Bell seems to have a new eery confidence, a sense of innovation rivaled only by a 4-year old with a cooking license. We were invited out to Taco Bell’s test kitchen today to catch a look at some of their new items coming out this year. From what we saw, the brand continues to put a major emphasis on innovating their breakfast menu.

Their new Biscuit Taco touts a “warm, flakey, golden brown biscuit that happens to be shaped in the form of a taco.”

Here’s a quick list of all the ways you can get the Biscuit Taco:

• Sausage, Egg and Cheese
• Bacon, Egg, and Cheese
• Sausage and Cheese
• Egg and Cheese
• Sausage and Gravy

Seen above is one of seven new variations they’re testing, Chicken with jalapeno honey sauce.

The jalapeno honey sauce and gravy sauces are available for pairing with any of the 7 taco styles you choose.

Taco Bell mentioned to us that the biscuit taco went through a test in San Antonio, TX and Atlanta, GA, markets they desperately seek the approval of.

The taco is currently in testing in Orange County and Los Angeles areas for another week, so if you want to get your paws on them and judge for yourself, here’s where you can do it:

Brea (303 West Imperial Highway)
Fullerton (131 E. Orangethrope Ave.; 3000 Yorba Linda Blvd.)
La Mirada (15006 La Mirada Blvd.)
Santa Fe Springs (10551 Carmenita Rd).

So, nothing good then =(

 

[Log4Girlz]

Sounds just disgusting enough to work

 

[Esch]

god fucking damn it i love being an american

 

[XiaNaphryz]

So, nothing good then =(

Well, there's the weird fried chicken variation also, dunno why it wasn't also in the bullet list along with whatever the 7th variation is supposed to be.

 

[tanooki27]

So, nothing good then =(

what would you prefer?

 

[Mr.Swag]

I try everything at taco bell so ill try this

 

[PsychBat!]

This is probably their laziest uninspired "tacos" in a while.

 

[CountAntonius]

Do they focus group potheads with the munchies?

 

[Choomp]

Do they focus group potheads with the munchies?

Yes, and they're all named Ronald McDonald.

 

[terrisus]

Well, there's the weird fried chicken variation also, dunno why it wasn't also in the bullet list along with whatever the 7th variation is supposed to be.

Alright, that would be worth trying out then.
Thanks =)

what would you prefer?

Something non-breakfast-based.

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

god fucking damn it i love being an american

+1

 

[tanooki27]

yeah I'd go for the chicken one as well.

 

[weekend_warrior]

That's not even a taco, it's just a breakfast biscuit folded in half.

 

[PsychBat!]

Do they focus group potheads with the munchies?

Wouldn't surprise me.

 

[UltraGunner]

It seems that Taco Bell didn't like Jack in the Box trying to take their Stoner demographic and are now doubling down on them.

 

[chuckddd]

 

[DarkFlow]

So, nothing good then =(

Stop adding on to your weirdness!

 

[Eyeron]

Will try for science.

 

[studyguy]

This looks absolutely disgusting.

Spoiler

I want one.

 

[hwalker84]

Give me that chicken with honey jalapeno.

 

[BronsonLee]

...Taco Bell, what the hell are you doing

 

[thoseAREmySHOES]

The jalapeno honey sauce sounds damn good.

 

[terrisus]

Stop adding on to your weirdness!

But this is just how I am >.>

 

[Deleted member 22576]

I will never understand breakfast fast food. But in general I am pro tacobell.

 

[terrisus]

I will never understand breakfast fast food.

Agreed. Aside for when my parents would taken me out before the first day of school for breakfast, I can probably count the amount of times that I purposely "went out for breakfast" on one hand.

 

[PsychBat!]

That's not even a taco, it's just a breakfast biscuit folded in half.

• Sausage and Gravy

oh my heart....

 

[Lijik]

I usually try whatever new thing Taco Bell has, but Im gonna pass on this. TBs got the worst breakfast in the fast food game, swapping out their weird fake waffle with a bland biscuit wont change that.

 

[XiaNaphryz]

...Taco Bell, what the hell are you doing

Science!

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

Yep. Breakfast has really been a disaster. They are really on their heels with virtually no traffic in those morning hours. The Waffle taco should've been their premiere item but it's a sterile disaster. Needs flavor, any kind of flavor. Through some cinammon sugar on there from Carmel Apple Empanada.....

 

[Complistic]

Gimme some steak, egg, and cheese and I"m yours.

 

[Beerman462]

Taco Bell should focus on making bad ass breakfast burritos. McDonalds has the biscuit game wrapped up.

 

[andymcc]

Something non-breakfast-based.

but that's what biscuits are associated with...

 

[Degen]

the waffle tacos suck! they are SO BAD

but a true man does not judge his lover for the flaws you feel me

i'll give your stupid artery-clogging breakfast another shot taco bell <3

 

[Goro Majima]

:jnc

Unfortunately these will probably use something really similar to the KFC biscuit which are so terrible compared to a place like Popeyes.

 

[ryseing]

Chik Fil A breakfast is god tier. Dem spicy biscuits. Woken up early many a Saturday to grab a couple of those.

 

[WorldStar]

Sure, I've been called a xenophobe, but the truth is, I'm not. I honestly just feel that America is the best country and the other countries aren't as good. That used to be called patriotism.

 

[Chie Satonaka]

My fucking sides.

I'm not sure if this is as good as the other Freeman pic that's always posted, but it's at least almost as good.

 

[Bubbavelli]

Taco Bell is getting out of hand. They must be stopped.

 

[Atlantis]

Hah, funny you'd mention that. If I wanted something sweet in the morning, I'd cut the waffles into strips and fry them, then sprinkle them with a bit of the cinnamon sugar we used for the Cinnabon Delights.

Dip 'em in syrup and you've got pseudo French Toast Sticks!

 

[SwiftDeath]

The Secret 7th Variation!

I must know!

 

[Vidpixel]

Yikes, I'm good.

 

[Discotheque]

i hope this comes to canada. but i kinda doubt it. even our fucking kfcs don't have biscuits.

 

[Apt101]

I've put worse things in tacos trying out new stuff. Spanish style rice, canned tuna, and cheddar with a roasted red pepper sauce came out smelling exactly the same as it did going in. The three or four shots of rum probably didn't help matters.

The Tampa Bell Biscaneers

 

[hillsighed]

Looks like the Biscuit threw up on itself. No thanks.

 

[Cosmic Bus]

Looks like the Biscuit threw up on itself. No thanks.

do you people have a literal hair-trigger gag reflex or something

"omg, meat, egg, and cheese displayed in a slightly less than optimal fashion. RE-VOL-TING"

 

[JackLongRod]

I will try it regardless of the 100% chance stomach ache

 

[sixteen-bit]

Not too sure about this.
