so the consensus is that it is pretty good, huh

Yeah, you pretty much have to eat this one immediately. Breaded chicken sort of tastes butts when it cools off

Got one yesterday. Surprised how small it was for the price.
I think it was a combination of me saying I wanted "one of those new chicken chalupas" and it being the girl's first day.
I gotta go back before they disappear!
They're filling and honestly not that many calories. I had two the day they came out and didn't eat anything else that afternoon when normally I can eat a days worth of calories at the Bell and not feel full.

Protip: replace the avocado ranch sauce with nacho cheese.
That shit is divine.

I'm imagining this and it sounds great.
Definitely a lot to unlock by hacking this thing.

I'm always a fan of replacing things with fried chicken. Still doesn't beat the KFC Double Down though.
Wow the USA double down gets actual bacon?
Im so salty. Here we just get this shitty ham thats smoke "flavored" and tastes like ballsack

Yeah that sauce makes the whole thing in my opinion. I'm glad they got it back. Now I can toss it on other stuff again (it goes great on their chicken soft tacos). I hope they keep this on the menu.

Gonna try it today. Any impressions?

Yes. My impression is that it is very tasty and I have eaten several of them.
5$ combo box makes it a pretty decent deal overall

I love 'em. I have to stop myself from getting them daily. For both meals.
And the cost is fine.

Tried it today. It's ok. Kinda tastes like a bunch of veggies wrapped in a giant chicken nugget. I'd much rather have a normal chalupa.

I tried a couple, tasted pretty good, but I didn't really like the way they smelled. I also had spicy ranch on it instead of avocado ranch, which might have been a mistake because they put a ton of it on there. Might get nacho cheese instead if I get it again.

I just had it for dinner. The $5 box pushed me over the edge.
It was pretty good. Had a bigger kick than expected, which of course doesn't mean much. It was enough meat by itself that I was fine with the veggie filling.
I will also say the Doritos Loco taco felt much improved.

Those saying they would rather have a normal Chalupa have a good case. While the naked chicken chalupa is good, the normal chalupa shell is tough to beat. I've had 6 or 8 (alcohol - memory) and have enjoyed every one. But that chalupa shell is magic. I'm toying with the idea of ADDING the chalupa shell to the outside of the naked chicken chalupa. I've worked at Taco Bell in a past life and know of a store that enjoys creating chaos. Naked chicken chalupa, plus
Chalupa shell and nacho cheese, with 2 diablo sauces sounds like a winning combo. Maybe bacon too. I don't know yet.

So I've gotten 4 in total.
Two were great, ace on point literally perfect.
One was hard and sad and I cried for a few hours.
The last one I got was kind of burnt and about half the size of the other 3 I got. I also got a cheesy Gordita crunch with that and the soft shell which was basically raw so maybe my Taco Bell just blows.
It's like gambling... When it's good it's good but when it's bad it's baaaaaaaaddd.

The first one is always delicious, the second is pretty good, and the last one always tastes like regret.

All of you keep talking about Wendy's Chicken Sandwich or Chik-fil-a, but both of them pale so badly in comparison to Singapore McDonald's Chicken McSpicy.
A lot of countries have the McSpicy, but Singapore does it the best by far. I don't think there's any comparison to it in terms of a truly spicy and juicy Chicken sandwiches anywhere in the US.

Looks like this has been "DISCONITUED" per my local KFC/Taco Bell mutant hybrid.

Taco Bell discontinues everything I actually like.
This is my fault, I guess. The Chicken fiesta burrito still hurts all these years later.

I love these. I asked my daughter if she wanted to get them for lunch today, and was sad when she said no, but then I remembered I still had one left over from a last-night snack. I'm surprised if they aren't doing well; I see a line of cars in the drive-thru that wasn't typical before these arrived.

Btw, I thought it was fantastic. I guess it's the fried chicken hitting your taste buds before anything that made the difference.
