Introduction
Taco Bell is a popular fast food chain that offers a wide variety of Mexican-inspired dishes. While there are many delicious options to choose from, there is one menu item that a Taco Bell manager says you should avoid. This article will discuss why this particular item is not the best choice and provide healthier alternatives. We will also provide tips on how to make healthier choices when dining at Taco Bell. So, if you’re looking for a healthier way to enjoy Taco Bell, read on to find out what the manager recommends you avoid and what you should eat instead.
The One Menu Item a Taco Bell Manager Says You Should Avoid
If you’re a fan of Taco Bell, you may be surprised to learn that there is one menu item that a Taco Bell manager says you should avoid. According to the manager, the item in question is the Quesarito.
The Quesarito is a burrito-quesadilla hybrid that is filled with seasoned beef, nacho cheese sauce, reduced-fat sour cream, and a three-cheese blend. It is then wrapped in a grilled flour tortilla. While it may sound delicious, the manager says that it is not worth the calories or the price.
The manager says that the Quesarito is one of the most expensive items on the menu and that it is also one of the most caloric. The Quesarito contains a whopping 800 calories and 45 grams of fat. The manager also says that the Quesarito is not as filling as other menu items, so you may end up spending more money and still not feeling full.
If you’re looking for a healthier option at Taco Bell, the manager recommends the Fresco menu. The Fresco menu offers items that are made with fresh ingredients and are lower in calories and fat. The manager also suggests ordering items from the Power Menu, which are made with lean proteins and vegetables.
So, if you’re looking for a healthier option at Taco Bell, the manager recommends avoiding the Quesarito and opting for items from the Fresco or Power Menu instead.
Taco Bell has launched some questionable items in the past. From the recently released chicken sandwich “taco,” which is essentially just a fried chicken sandwich folded on its side, to the much-criticized foray into chicken wings, it seems like the popular chain would be wise to stick to its Mexican roots.
But when a Taco Bell manager hosted an AMA (ask me anything) session on Reddit last month and was asked what menu item should be avoided, there was no mention of Taco Bell’s controversial chicken items.
Instead, the anonymous manager advised customers to stay away from the Island Freezes—Taco Bell’s new line of fruity frozen slushies.

The Mexican chain has launched several limited-run slushies in recent years, including a Watermelon Candy Freeze in 2018, an Electric Blue Raspberry Freeze and Birthday Baja Blast Freeze in 2019, a Wild Strawberry Freeze in 2020, and a Wild Strawberry Lemonade Freeze in 2021.
But the Island Freezes are a little different and pack a new twist with the addition of a tropical dairy-based creamer. The chain launched the Baja Blast Colada Freeze last summer, which added the creamer to the classic Baja Blast Freeze, and released the Wild Strawberry and Blue Raspberry Island Freezes in December.
So what’s wrong with the Island Freezes? The manager says “they’re not for everyone” and that multiple customers have called back with complaints about these drinks. In fact, the manager himself doesn’t like them either and calls them “disgusting.”
And they’re not alone. “No one likes the island freeze, I asked around,” said one Twitter user. “Do not buy the island strawberry freeze from Taco Bell…tastes like dookie,” another said.
While there aren’t many specific points of criticism, other than the claims that the drinks simply taste bad, one Redditor says the Island Freezes are “way too sweet.”
But the reviews seem to be mixed because other people love the new drinks. One Redditor replied to the manager and said, “that’s the best one bruh, get that every day I work.” Another Twitter user said “if you haven’t tried the Island Blue Raspberry Freeze from Taco Bell you’re missing out,” adding that it’s the best thing they’ve come out with.
It is possible that the negative feedback given to the manager about the Island Freezes may simply be caused by the fact that people aren’t really sure what to expect, and might have been hoping for something closer to the classic Freezes without the cream.
If you’re going to venture forth to try one of the new Island Freezes yourself, be ready for some sweet cream and maybe get a backup drink in case you’re not a fan of the new concoction. A few more Reddit users claim that Taco Bell will be releasing two new cherry-based flavors of the Island Freezes, but this information hasn’t been confirmed.
One thing’s for sure, those that do like the creamy Freezes are certainly fans of spiking the drinks with alcohol.
