Cheetos is a favorite snack for many people, my sister and her kids among others. Whenever I buy a bag of Cheetos I often get the Cheddar Jalapeño flavor ’cause I like that little bit of bite.
Taco Bell has been experimenting with mixing snacks into their menu for quite some time. Remember what they did with Doritos just a while back? For this “experiment” their think tank must’ve said … “what would happen if we combine a cheesy quesadilla with Cheetos?”
Cheetos + Quesadilla = Cheetos Quesadilla
For the first time in Taco Bell’s history, two of your much-loved favorites come together to make an irresistibly good and even cheesier pair!
Always with a flair for giving new and exciting treats to its customers, Taco Bell launched its latest offering Cheetos Quesadilla’ in an exclusive media event on November 23 at Taco Bell’s flagship branch in Gateway Mall at the Araneta Center in Quezon City. Bloggers and members of the press satisfied their hankering for cheese as they tried out this unique and exciting product exclusively available at #TacoBellPHL.

The Cheetos Quesadilla Combo
The new Cheetos Quesadilla, priced at P129 and P169 when ordered combo, is a combination of grilled soft tortilla filled with Taco Bell’s signature three-cheese blend and your favorite crunchy puffed cornmeal snack, Cheetos Crunchy Jalapeño. The launch of Cheetos Quesadilla is just the beginning of a slew of exciting promos that await Pinoy foodies this Christmas. Cheetos’ official mascot Chester Cheetah also made an appearance at the launch.
Speaking of promos, #CatchChesterCheetah as he visits Taco Bell stores this holiday season, snap a photo with him, and post it on lnstagram using the official hashtag #TacoBellPHL and #CatchChesterCheetah and you might just win an lnstax Mini. SMILE! 😀

Weight watchers beware! If you aren’t careful the pounds/kilos are going to start piling up and before you know it you will look like Cheetos. 😛 Everything in moderation, folks!

Torn between two classic Taco Bell favorites? No need to choose as Taco Bell rolls out its newest item on its menu – the Quesarito.

What is a Quesarito?
The Quesarito, as the name suggests, is a mash-up between cheesy gooey quesadilla and beefy meaty burrito.
Imagine a Quesadilla made with Taco Bell’s signature three cheese blend and nacho cheese sauce wrapped around a burrito filled with seasoned beef, Mexican rice, cool sour cream and creamy jalapeno sauce. Its two delicious flavors coming together to create something truly extraordinary!

Taco Bell’s Quesarito meal. Beverage not in photo because I was drinking it at the time. 😀
Have I tried it?
I had the opportunity to try the Quesarito meal for myself when I went to Taco Bell at the Ground Floor of Gateway Mall in Cubao. I usually like to drop by there on my way home from work for a quick bite and I was checking to see if there was anything new.
As I perused the menu I noticed they had a new product out so I decided to give it a shot. I love quesadillas and I love burritos so I thought to myself … “I eat rice topped with Cheez Whiz sometimes so this must be similar.”
And to some extent it is! What makes it different? Why everything that makes a burrito and a quesadilla different from plain old rice and cheese, of course! All the filling. 🙂 Add to that the side order of chips and a drink just complete the meal perfectly.
If you don’t say anything they will automatically give you the barbeque flavored chips for your side order. I tried it the first time and didn’t like it. Not because it wasn’t good but because I found the combination of cheesy Quesarito and barbeque chips too salty for my taste. When I asked for plain chips they willingly obliged me. 🙂
As for the beverage that accompanies it, you get to choose … soda or iced tea. I opted for RED iced tea (my favorite!)
Try the Quesarito for yourself!
Try the new Quesarito exclusively available for a limited time only at Taco Bell branches in:
- Gateway Mall (Ground floor and at the food court)
- TriNoma
- Alabang Town Center
Priced at P129 ala carte and P169 with nachos and a drink, this is a mash-up you wouldn’t want to miss.

Taco Bell’s Chalupa
Taco Bell, the world’s leading taco food chain, invites you to #tastethehype as it innovates the classic taco with Chalupa Supreme.
The Chalupa Supreme features a deep-fried crispy and chewy flatbread filled with seasoned beef, sour cream, shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes and a three-cheese blend. The result: a delightful mixture of textures and flavors that is distinctly Taco Bell. Transforming the everyday taco into an experience you won’t find anywhere else.
Chalupa ala carte or in a meal?
Already satisfying on its own, the Chalupa Supreme is available for P99 when ordered a la carte. Pair it with nachos and your favorite soda for a full meal for only P149.

You may be asking … what makes the chalupa so different from a taco then? It certainly looks the same.
For starters it is bigger than the average taco and certainly more filling. Second, the “shell” is made of bread, not a taco shell, making it a heavier meal. Think back to the last new offering of Taco Bell, the Gordita Supreme. It’s the same flatbread but this time it is fried and shaped into a taco shell.

Tastewise I would say it tastes just like the Gordita. The only real difference is that the bread is fried. I have friends who have tried both the chalupa and the gordita and they have said that they prefer the chalupa. Personally, I would rather have the gordita because I find it easier to eat. I’ve got a quirk, I don’t like messy eating and, trust me, the chalupa is MESSY.
But then, some would argue that there is no neat way to eat a taco anyway and, what is a chalupa but a taco on steroids, right? 😀
So go ahead and #tastethehype today as Taco Bell’s Chalupa Supreme is available for a limited time only.
