Taste the Hype with Taco Bell's Chalupa Supreme

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Taco Bell, the world's leading taco food chain, invited us to taste the hype about their returning Chalupa Supreme for ourselves on July 28, 2016 at Taco Bell Gateway in Cubao, Quezon City.

The Chalupa Supreme, available for a limited time only, transforms the everyday taco into an experience. It features a deep-fried crispy and chewy flatbread with seasoned beef, sour cream, shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and a three-cheese blend which results into the delightful mixture of textures and flavors that is distinctly Taco Bell.

The Chalupa Supreme costs P99 when ordered a la carte, and P149 when paired with nachos and soda.

I could compare it with the Taco Bell Gordita Supreme for which I also enjoyed when it was previously launched in the Philippines. But I must say even though both specialty offerings are great tasting, my vote goes more for the Gordita Supreme. It must be because of the deep-fried crispy and chewy flatbread that sort of changes the taste for the classic taco.

Aside from being the healthier alternatives that's great for meals at anytime of the day, both the Chalupa Supreme and the Gordita Supreme, as well as the other taco varieties of Taco Bell are highly recommended to fill you up satisfactorily without any regrets. One order is already a well treat that the entire family will enjoy.
