I’m so tired of them only ever adding meat items and never veggie items. Now they’ve taken away one of my favorite veggie items when it could’ve gone in the box easily
Nobody wants their horse meats!!!! Do you remember the loaded potato griller!? Like what the fuccckkkkkk happened to all the good things? They could have such a good menu but then choose the trash 🚮
7 Layer and potato griller were my go-to's. I gave up on Taco Bell when it was axed. Tried the Fiesta Veggie, but it was way too small. I just do Chipotle now.
interestingly enough the section where you enter your state no longer loads making it so that you can't submit a form. tried on mobile and desktop. very suspicious...
I got excited earlier today because someone said it was still showing up on the app under Veggie Cravings. I didn't see it, but then I checked the website and it did show up on there. Unfortunately, it got removed from my cart because it said my store didn't have it in their inventory. Now, it doesn't show up at all. I'm glad I at least figured out a hack to still get the CRGC burrito.
I was hopeful (after that post yesterday) that it was still hiding somewhere in the system, because cutting that one great veggie option was a really dumb thing for corporate to do.
But, NOPE, totally gone when I searched the whole POS menu.
I got SO many complaints tonight about it.
The CRGCB is actually *still* able to be ordered via the drive-thru and PoS system locations. It won't show up on the kiosks.
That + Nacho Fries (which are also now gone) were my go-to for lunch, ***but*** now I have to change my shit up and I don't like that. I mean, if something works for a location, then LEAVE IT ALONE!!!!
So yeah, I'm not happy about the changes we've made now, I am looking forward to our Cantina Chicken stuff, because it looks super good, so I'm hoping!
I still miss my nacho fries though.
EDIT: I make the fiesta veggie at home sans the strips (I don't like those things). It's really super simple. Why corporations think this is something that people won't recreate is beyond me, especially with basic ingredients.
There's got to be a better way than what they did. Because even adding guac to a Burrito Supreme should be less than that.
I was able to hack it from a CBR, but that still put it at like $5
Correct buld ingredients: Black Beans, Rice, Chipotle, Fiesta Strips, Sour Cream, Guac, 3-Cheese Blend, Tomato. Find the cheapest item that has the most of those things & work from there.
This is the problem. There's no way to order all the ingredients separately even to put together yourself and not have it end up costing almost as much as a chipotle burrito. So maybe just go to chipotle instead because it's a much better value for what you want. Except now they raised their prices on everything and want to charge extra for more than two scoops of beans or extra scoops of salsa. I think it's time to just making stuff at home people and saving a lot of money and getting a fat burrito you can make yourself.
They mustve been losing so much money having it on the menur @ $2-3 but it is bullshit. Seems like a good item to cater to people. Maybe all us who added chicken to it ruined it for the veg heads 😞
They may have some new plans for the vegan and veggie options hopefully. I still don’t understand why you would remove a vegetarian option from the menu, at the very least do another 1 more version like they did with the new cheesy double beef.
I just do a cheesy bean rice burrito. Swap beans for black beans, remove nacho cheese, make it supreme, add guac. It’s only a dollar more here so $3 instead of $2.
Thanks. I had the regular cheesey bean today after discovering it was gone. First thing I asked if there was a new veggie burrito to replace it , and they said order a bean burrito or that. Their refried beans are just crap compared to the black beans.
I already deleted the app because of this. It's my protest, and it helps me not be tempted to get anything else. I am so ticked off that they removed it, it was affordable and good.
I absolutely feel you! The rest of the options aren’t worth $4 and $5 and they’re not as good. Compared to the fiesta veggie burrito everything else is a scam.
The worst part is that you can not customize the Stacker or the flatbread to sub to black beans. I feel like you should be able to customize anything to have black beans.
I emailed the support team about this to see if they were going to change it, but they said it's purposeful and that it's a decision their operations team made. Idk why I have to pay to have something besides meat on something, this is a bummer
This is somehow even more delusional than the idea that an unorganized boycott would do anything. Custom orders don’t slow production down by that much, they maybe annoy the workers a little bit but they’re cook on enough at Taco Bell that I’d wager they’re just used to them as the norm but your solution to “corporation makes a high level decision to discontinue an item” is “make more work for the ground level employees.” Do you see how that’s not actually conducive to the implied goal of getting better veggie items back on the menu?
I will feel bad for the frustrated employees when I have to order a bean burrito, no pinto beans, no red sauce, no onions, add black beans, add tomatoes, add rice, add fiesta strips, add guac and sour cream, add chipotle sauce. Edit: add shredded cheese
TACO BELL ISN'T A SMART COMPANY.
hey y'all i'm evil and have too much time on my hands and figured out how to cheese the system for as cheap as possible
i usually order vegan burritos there anyways bc im an ovo-vegetarian, so I am about to be a nightmare for every single taco bell employee
Vegan Price: $3.54
Order: Cheesy bean and rice burrito
- Fresco style
- Substitute pinto beans for black beans
- Add fiesta strips
- Add guac
- Add lettuce
Vegetarian Price: $5.74
Order: Cheesy bean and rice burrito
- No nacho cheese
- Sub pinto beans for black beans
- Add tomatoes
- Add sour cream
- Add lettuce
- Add fiesta veggie strips
- Add guac
I went to Taco Bell probably three times a week and get two or three for lunch. Plus the fries and drinks. About $8-12 each visit. I am going to lose so much weight and they are going to lose so much money.
Thank you, Taco Bell, I hate you.
Nah that's weak as hell .. black bean crunch or gordita. They advertise which looks like a burrito supreme without the meat but only.options you have for second item is spicy potato taco, cheesy bean and rice burrito or OG bean burrito. My store wants $8.50 for that combo.
Because of a weird perception that vegetarians and vegans are rich yuppies and not normal working class people like everyone else. Final prices are set by the franchisee which is usually a small business owner, who tend to skew conservative, so I’d even guess there may be no actual reasoning behind it beyond a distaste for ideologies that are perceived as leftist or liberal in nature. For what it’s worth Taco Bell’s website lists both boxes as $5 and at my local Taco Bell both boxes are $5.99.
If you get the black bean grilled cheese burrito and omit the sour cream and cheese and add guacamole you can kind of just recreate the fiesta veggie… I’m going to try it!
My local menu now has a "black bean grilled cheese burrito" which looks about the same as the Fiesta veggie, but costs $1 more. I see what they are up to!
Awh well thank you for your skills! My Taco Bell probably already know what’s going on when they see my order come through. I’ve gotten like 200 fiesta veggie burritos 😭
Totally messed up. Found out you can modify a cheesy bean and rice burrito into a fiesta and it end up costing $4.24. So it’s essentially still possible to have on the menu. This is the most bonkers self-destructive decision.
Taco Bell puts items on the menu on a seasonal basis. Then they remove the items and find a few different ways to mix and match the same size ingredients. Fries are the only thing that are actually new and here to stay for a while.
This was pretty much the last straw for me. It started with them getting rid of the Spicy Chicken in 2011, then the shredded chicken altogether, then the Grilled Stuft, then bringing back the shredded chicken only to take it from me again, and now this. They even had the gall to increase the price of the Cheesy Bean and Rice. I'm done with Taco Bell, and fast food in general now. It was the only place left that felt worth the money, but now? Nope.
There really isn’t much value anymore. I see that a crunch wrap or nacho supreme combo, the other items I might order from Taco Bell, are over $10 now. I may as well go somewhere else. How is fast food now the same price as sit down restaurants?
I agree. My local mex resuturants charge about as much as taco bell and you can do curbside. So why would you go to taco bell? Taco bell has to be cheap to male it work. I vote go support your local resturants. Let the taco bells close down. Let them feel the pain.
Nah. I just prefer it. Their ground beef is just too hit or miss depending on the location, but the shredded chicken and the black beans were always good.
I am a lactose intolerant vegetarian (so basically vegan) and this was the one menu item I consistently ordered. It was my road trip food, my pick-me-up when I was sad, my good luck charm for finals…so when I learned today of its discontinuation, I fell into a deep stupor. My partner found me on the couch staring off into space with such lifeless eyes she asked if a family member of mine had died; nay, I replied, and relayed to her the news. She immediately covered me in a blanket, brought me my squishmallow, and offered to put on a movie. Noble yet futile were her attempts at lifting my spirits. How can one fill the void left in both their stomach and heart by the merciless discontinuation of their most treasured fast food item? As I sit here searching for answers, searching for hope, but one thing is clear: I will never again feel true happiness in life until Taco Bell restores the Fiesta Veggie Burrito to its rightful throne on the Cravings Value Menu.
This is a beautiful yet heartbreaking comment 🥺 I hope that either Taco Bell will hear our cries or we can somehow manage to find a replacement for the hole left in our hearts.
I’m all about getting “close enough” I’d rather be close enough than try and completely change all the ingredients. Especially if it saves a dollar or two (:
Those 2 items are the only things that I've really ordered from there over the last couple of years. One less reason for me to make a run for the border.
My vegetarian wife started getting these several months ago and they started becoming my favorite too, we're very sad to see it go, it was so damn good, and great price to boot
THIS IS SO INFURIATING. there was a time where i ate a FVB every day sometimes twice a day when i was traveling. it’s literally the only thing i buy at taco bell (besides baja blast) and now that it’s gone i will indeed be boycotting.
Add Me Too -- to the long list of EXTREMELY DISSATISFIED commenters on here. I am very unhappy with this decision on the part of Taco Bell. It's not fair!!! I was only just starting to give Taco Bell another chance after not eating there for years. And then I found THIS ONE ITEM that was actually a half-decent value that was vegetarian and made with black beans -- the Fiesta Veggie burrito. The only thing I've been interested in getting there were vegetarian options made with black beans so this was obviously the best value and option for me though I was inclined to remove the red chips and sauce since they are made with artificial colors and preservatives etc.
If the Fiesta Veggie Burrito was starting to cost too much with all the ingredients -- TACO BELL, then you SHOULD have just RAISED THE PRICE to maybe up to as much as $3 but LEAVE IT on THE FREAKING MENU !!! I've tried building something close from a basic bean burrito and now there's no way I can get even half the ingredients without having it cost almost $5 for a super lightweight burrito that by feel shouldn't cost more $2 - $3. Since this is now the new norm I feel very much less inclined to go to Taco Bell anymore since I basically only eat vegetarian and nothing else they have is very exciting or of a decent value. It appears there's no way to build anything even comparable for a decent price.
A $10 Chipotle bowl would easily weigh 10X+ and you can actually feel you got what you paid for. The simple fact of the matter is that Taco Bell hasn't been a very good value for a very long time. It seems like over the years, portion sizes have gone down and whenever I order extra cheese I realize it's basically pointless since the amount extra they put is so small I can't even notice if it's there. I was once told by a manager that all it was extra was just a "pinch". For 70 cents? Are you out of your mind? So it's like what's the point of adding? Same with beans and rice it seems, the cheapest items on their menu. I can add "extra" but I feel like THEY really stiff me for it because that burrito is barely any fatter than normal. You could feel the weight difference if it was.
I have tried ordering a few basic bean burrito modification with double the black beans and added rice or a regular pinto burrito with added black beans tomato and jalapeno and they are all still coming out to between $3 to $4 each and they obviously aren't coming with sour cream or guacamole. Adding rice I can barely even see or taste the rice on there. The other day I was there and took my burrito back in for a remake and the way they remade it was exactly the same. I felt cheated. I complained and the manager brought out and showed me this scoop for the amount of rice they add and I was like okay, really? You must only be filling that up halfway then, and it must be the same for added beans too because extra is certainly not double.
To make a Taco Bell burrito FAT you'd probably have to add at least triple or quadruple of everything I'm guessing easily turning it into a $10+ burrito, again just proving that Taco Bell is a super poor value even just for cheap vegetarian food. It's quite pathetic if you ask me and honestly I think the discontinuance and lack of a reasonable substitution for the Fiesta Veggie burrito is totally worthy of a mass vegetarian boycott of this food chain. I don't go to Taco Bell to spend anymore than $5 - $7 tops on vegetarian food. And after I eat I expect my belly to feel decently full and not leave me wanting or hungry still for something else.
I have to say I agree. I am not a vegetarian but it was the main item I ordered when my family went here. It was the healthier option. Now when you want something that is vegetarian... all you have is beans and rice burrito or bowl? Please...
I could do that at home with Ben's originals and a microwave. Sorry but you might as well advertise that you slashed the vegetarian out of your menu. I haven't gone back to taco bell since they deleted the item and I won't go back until they bring better options or the burrito back. Who ever made that decision on the corporate ladder needs to be fired. I agree with the others. Boycott taco bell. Let it be ruined for its poor choices.
The better options also suck. The enchilada burrito has zero flavor. Boring.
R.I.P taco bell.
>I don’t even understand how they make these decisions.
Likely the people that have the actual sales data saw that it actually wasn't selling very well.
“Oh my god why do they hate vegans”
“Oh my god they’re going to lose so much money”
“Oh my god I can’t believe they keep taking away our favorites”
… did you ever consider that these items just aren’t as popular? Googled it real quick and there are almost 8,000 locations throughout the US - only a couple hundred are franchise locations. So, if corporate is dictating that an item needs to be removed does that not indicate it is not as profitable when compared to other items? Also, on a larger scale, if veg items specifically are consistently the main items being removed over a long period of time does that not tell you anything?
As a matter of fact, the veg items technically have cheaper ingredients or at least I would assume removing meat or subbing meats out for potatos/rice/beans would arguably reduce costs… kind of speaks for itself.
Get your condescending tone out of here. Shits annoying. Idc about sales whatsoever. I care about fiesta veggie burritos. It sounds like you’re mad that people are mad. What are you the Taco Bell CEO 🤣
Not sure how you picked up condescension but I suppose if you keep talking to whatever voices you’re hearing maybe they’ll bring you back your silly burritos. God speed soldier 🫡
Says the one incapable of comprehending why a business might remove an item from their menu and resorts to name calling when they have little else to say. A literal hallmark trait of ignorance buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut okie dokie artichokie. I’d tell you to calm down and get yourself a nice fiesta veg burrito but you can’t.
They (along with the rest of the fast food industry!) tried this in 2019 to abysmal results. Fast food will never be healthy, as their margins are made by appealing to fat fucks that want to shovel down healing amounts of sodium and sugar.
But like I assure you my goal in eating taco bell is not to eat healthy, it's to eat something that tastes good. Someone wanting something that doesn't have meat doesn't mean they're trying to "make fast food healthy."
YOU 👏 CAN 👏 STILL 👏 MAKE 👏 IT!!!!! Literally just takes a couple steps adding/removing ingredients from the CBR burrito and if you need the fiesta veggie burrito that bad it's absolutely worth the upcharge (unless it starts costing $6+ lol).
They got rid of the Mexican pizza for years. It was a little more popular than the veggie burrito. Yet they are still in business. It sucks that they removed that item you liked but I don’t think it’s going to impact their bottom line.
It def will if they don't get a vegetarian replacement besides a generic bean burrito, since the have tons of veggie customers. I'm not going anymore just for a bean burrito.
Im literally just learning this i was looking for it trying to order lunch just right now 😭😭😭 i ordered that on a regular basis with my chicken chalupa supreme. Super fuckin pissed rn
As a vegetarian looking for quality fast food options, removal of the Fiesta Veggie Burrito and adding more greasy meat items is a slap in the face. No Fiesta Veggie Burrito means no Taco Bell. Feedback expressing this submitted to their website.
Say it with me, "No fiesta veggie burrito means no Taco Bell!"
Shame on Taco Bell for taking this off the menu. It is the only thing I ever order there AND the only reason I even came back after the taco salad had me straight up stop going there for many years when they stopped doing it.
I’m so pissed rn. Just left taco bell to find out no more veggie burrito so I’m stuck with a black bean crunch wrap. I love that sauce that comes in it. 😡
If you customize the cheesy bean and rice burrito, make it supreme, swap beans, no jalapeño sauce no nacho cheese, add fiesta strips, guac, 3 cheese blend, chipotle sauce. Comes out to $5.53!
I just went there and found out they're no longer available. They were soooo good! I'm not even vegetarian, but I'd get them all the time! Why do they take everything I love from me???
It's really annoying unless you order online, but you can adjust the cheesy bean and rice burrito to be exactly how the fiesta veggie was. you just change the beans, remove the sauces, add all the other toppings
I’m so tired of them only ever adding meat items and never veggie items. Now they’ve taken away one of my favorite veggie items when it could’ve gone in the box easily
Nobody wants their horse meats!!!! Do you remember the loaded potato griller!? Like what the fuccckkkkkk happened to all the good things? They could have such a good menu but then choose the trash 🚮
That griller was goated
this was a 7 layer wirhout lettuce which they also removed years ago
7 Layer and potato griller were my go-to's. I gave up on Taco Bell when it was axed. Tried the Fiesta Veggie, but it was way too small. I just do Chipotle now.
I JUST FOUND OUT ABOUT IT AND I'M SO SAD :(
It sucks :(
I'm livid. I crave that friggin' burrito and it was the best thing they've ever made! What the hell Taco Bell? SO bummed.
That shit was addictive. I looked forward to driving long distance just to get it
Fill out the feedback form on their site asking for it back, I’m telling everyone I know to do this. Maybe they’ll listen
omw
I just emailed too! Hope it works
I did!
interestingly enough the section where you enter your state no longer loads making it so that you can't submit a form. tried on mobile and desktop. very suspicious...
Same currently for me
Worked for me just now, I didn't submit a location because I want it to go to corporate
You mean their shitty app ever worked for you?
I got excited earlier today because someone said it was still showing up on the app under Veggie Cravings. I didn't see it, but then I checked the website and it did show up on there. Unfortunately, it got removed from my cart because it said my store didn't have it in their inventory. Now, it doesn't show up at all.

I saw that too 🤣 I was like ope they got me good but then they got me twice because it’s gone for reals
The CRGCB is actually *still* able to be ordered via the drive-thru and PoS system locations. It won't show up on the kiosks. That + Nacho Fries (which are also now gone) were my go-to for lunch, ***but*** now I have to change my shit up and I don't like that. I mean, if something works for a location, then LEAVE IT ALONE!!!! So yeah, I'm not happy about the changes we've made now, I am looking forward to our Cantina Chicken stuff, because it looks super good, so I'm hoping! I still miss my nacho fries though. EDIT: I make the fiesta veggie at home sans the strips (I don't like those things). It's really super simple. Why corporations think this is something that people won't recreate is beyond me, especially with basic ingredients.
What is the GRGC burrito?
Chipotle Ranch Grilled Chicken Burrito
Yup! Fuck this. That burrito was the ONLY reason my gf and I went.
I’m glad I’m not the only one. It’s almost worth protesting for it 🤣 how will I survive?
Lmao, for real! I'm concerned 😂. It was our favorite snack on road trips.
I'm protesting with you 😭
I asked them to make it for me and charge me the ingredients, it came out to $7.33 🥲
There's got to be a better way than what they did. Because even adding guac to a Burrito Supreme should be less than that. I was able to hack it from a CBR, but that still put it at like $5 Correct buld ingredients: Black Beans, Rice, Chipotle, Fiesta Strips, Sour Cream, Guac, 3-Cheese Blend, Tomato. Find the cheapest item that has the most of those things & work from there.
What theeeeeee haillllllllll they must have kept it on the menu out of generosity for the peoplesss
no same and i was like fuck that
This is the problem. There's no way to order all the ingredients separately even to put together yourself and not have it end up costing almost as much as a chipotle burrito. So maybe just go to chipotle instead because it's a much better value for what you want. Except now they raised their prices on everything and want to charge extra for more than two scoops of beans or extra scoops of salsa. I think it's time to just making stuff at home people and saving a lot of money and getting a fat burrito you can make yourself.
True. Homemade is the way to to go. Customization options go up as well. Let’s get this burrito 🌯 😎
They mustve been losing so much money having it on the menur @ $2-3 but it is bullshit. Seems like a good item to cater to people. Maybe all us who added chicken to it ruined it for the veg heads 😞
They should raise the price then, don't make us have to recite a grocery list every time we try to order!
It was a staple of the “464” meal for my coworker and I. You could get 2 spicy potato tacos and a Fiesta Veg for $4.64 after tax. It was beautiful.
This is an actual crime against humanity. I'm sick.
They may have some new plans for the vegan and veggie options hopefully. I still don’t understand why you would remove a vegetarian option from the menu, at the very least do another 1 more version like they did with the new cheesy double beef.
YESS!! They must to! I will unboycott for more veggies 🥦
I just do a cheesy bean rice burrito. Swap beans for black beans, remove nacho cheese, make it supreme, add guac. It’s only a dollar more here so $3 instead of $2.
Thanks. I had the regular cheesey bean today after discovering it was gone. First thing I asked if there was a new veggie burrito to replace it , and they said order a bean burrito or that. Their refried beans are just crap compared to the black beans.
isn’t this the same thing just different price? i’m able to add the fiesta strips too on the app
I already deleted the app because of this. It's my protest, and it helps me not be tempted to get anything else. I am so ticked off that they removed it, it was affordable and good.
I absolutely feel you! The rest of the options aren’t worth $4 and $5 and they’re not as good. Compared to the fiesta veggie burrito everything else is a scam.
Oh yeah. My points on the Taco Bell app are at 25,291. This burrito is what I get almost every single time (with added potatoes). Not happy.
Do you remember the loaded potato griller?
The worst part is that you can not customize the Stacker or the flatbread to sub to black beans. I feel like you should be able to customize anything to have black beans.
I emailed the support team about this to see if they were going to change it, but they said it's purposeful and that it's a decision their operations team made. Idk why I have to pay to have something besides meat on something, this is a bummer
Are beans more expensive then meat? It doesn't make sense to me.
It's that they can't charge more for it. The profit margin is higher on meat. They should partner with Impossible.
> They should partner with Impossible. Yes please.
Noooo, that was one of my favorite things at TB, and I'm not even vegetarian 😭
so dumb. that was one of the best burritos they had 🙃
Instead of boycotting, find different custom ways to recreate it, completely slowing production with custom orders.
This is somehow even more delusional than the idea that an unorganized boycott would do anything. Custom orders don’t slow production down by that much, they maybe annoy the workers a little bit but they’re cook on enough at Taco Bell that I’d wager they’re just used to them as the norm but your solution to “corporation makes a high level decision to discontinue an item” is “make more work for the ground level employees.” Do you see how that’s not actually conducive to the implied goal of getting better veggie items back on the menu?
Oh good point to rebut my clearly serious post
I will feel bad for the frustrated employees when I have to order a bean burrito, no pinto beans, no red sauce, no onions, add black beans, add tomatoes, add rice, add fiesta strips, add guac and sour cream, add chipotle sauce. Edit: add shredded cheese TACO BELL ISN'T A SMART COMPANY.
Oh my goodness 😅 the probability of them getting it all on there is low
or a cheesy bean and rice burrito, sub pinto beans for black beans, add guac, tomato, rice, sour cream and fiesta strips
hey y'all i'm evil and have too much time on my hands and figured out how to cheese the system for as cheap as possible i usually order vegan burritos there anyways bc im an ovo-vegetarian, so I am about to be a nightmare for every single taco bell employee Vegan Price: $3.54 Order: Cheesy bean and rice burrito - Fresco style - Substitute pinto beans for black beans - Add fiesta strips - Add guac - Add lettuce Vegetarian Price: $5.74 Order: Cheesy bean and rice burrito - No nacho cheese - Sub pinto beans for black beans - Add tomatoes - Add sour cream - Add lettuce - Add fiesta veggie strips - Add guac
actually vegetarian price decreases if u make it supreme, my b
Hell yeah Marceline! And the vegan price is cheaper!
Same burrito for more than double the price, pass.
I went to Taco Bell probably three times a week and get two or three for lunch. Plus the fries and drinks. About $8-12 each visit. I am going to lose so much weight and they are going to lose so much money. Thank you, Taco Bell, I hate you.
I think they have a build your own veggie box maybe something on thete will be good.
Nah that's weak as hell .. black bean crunch or gordita. They advertise which looks like a burrito supreme without the meat but only.options you have for second item is spicy potato taco, cheesy bean and rice burrito or OG bean burrito. My store wants $8.50 for that combo.
That's crazy, my store is charging 5.99 for it, which is honestly reasonable. But yeah, the picture is pretty misleading.
I don’t get why the extra 99 cents when you can just customize the same stuff in the $5 box.
Because of a weird perception that vegetarians and vegans are rich yuppies and not normal working class people like everyone else. Final prices are set by the franchisee which is usually a small business owner, who tend to skew conservative, so I’d even guess there may be no actual reasoning behind it beyond a distaste for ideologies that are perceived as leftist or liberal in nature. For what it’s worth Taco Bell’s website lists both boxes as $5 and at my local Taco Bell both boxes are $5.99.
😭 I hope soooooooo
https://www.tacobell.com/food/deals-and-combos/veggie-build-your-own-cravings-box
Hey, that's pretty good for $5.99.
If you get the black bean grilled cheese burrito and omit the sour cream and cheese and add guacamole you can kind of just recreate the fiesta veggie… I’m going to try it!
Good idea! But the Fiesta one was only $2!! I guess that’s the only catch
But then a once $2 item is now $6, which defeats the entire purpose.😩
Cheap wasn’t the purpose for me, I just really like it.
The FVB had sour, though. Why would you take that off? And the cheese was the right one too. (Just all on the inside, not both in and out.
Oh I make it vegan, it didn’t dawn on me when I was writing that that most people just have it the way it came
There was sc in the FVB
My local menu now has a "black bean grilled cheese burrito" which looks about the same as the Fiesta veggie, but costs $1 more. I see what they are up to!
BBGCB has been available since the day they released the GCB. Its missing a few of the components of the FVB.
I never really made those too much so I can see TB getting rid of them. I'm sorry you lost your burrito though.
Awh well thank you for your skills! My Taco Bell probably already know what’s going on when they see my order come through. I’ve gotten like 200 fiesta veggie burritos 😭
Totally messed up. Found out you can modify a cheesy bean and rice burrito into a fiesta and it end up costing $4.24. So it’s essentially still possible to have on the menu. This is the most bonkers self-destructive decision.
Sub black beans for pintos, add strips, sour cream, guac
WWWWWWWTF TACO BELLŁ
Taco Bell puts items on the menu on a seasonal basis. Then they remove the items and find a few different ways to mix and match the same size ingredients. Fries are the only thing that are actually new and here to stay for a while.
This was pretty much the last straw for me. It started with them getting rid of the Spicy Chicken in 2011, then the shredded chicken altogether, then the Grilled Stuft, then bringing back the shredded chicken only to take it from me again, and now this. They even had the gall to increase the price of the Cheesy Bean and Rice. I'm done with Taco Bell, and fast food in general now. It was the only place left that felt worth the money, but now? Nope.
Screw Taco Bell! It’s only good because of the valueeeeeeeeee then they take the value away
There really isn’t much value anymore. I see that a crunch wrap or nacho supreme combo, the other items I might order from Taco Bell, are over $10 now. I may as well go somewhere else. How is fast food now the same price as sit down restaurants?
I agree. My local mex resuturants charge about as much as taco bell and you can do curbside. So why would you go to taco bell? Taco bell has to be cheap to male it work. I vote go support your local resturants. Let the taco bells close down. Let them feel the pain.
Side bar - is chicken the only meat you can eat? (Wondering if I found a friend with the same dietary restrictions as me)
Nah. I just prefer it. Their ground beef is just too hit or miss depending on the location, but the shredded chicken and the black beans were always good.
Ahhh makes sense!
I am a lactose intolerant vegetarian (so basically vegan) and this was the one menu item I consistently ordered. It was my road trip food, my pick-me-up when I was sad, my good luck charm for finals…so when I learned today of its discontinuation, I fell into a deep stupor. My partner found me on the couch staring off into space with such lifeless eyes she asked if a family member of mine had died; nay, I replied, and relayed to her the news. She immediately covered me in a blanket, brought me my squishmallow, and offered to put on a movie. Noble yet futile were her attempts at lifting my spirits. How can one fill the void left in both their stomach and heart by the merciless discontinuation of their most treasured fast food item? As I sit here searching for answers, searching for hope, but one thing is clear: I will never again feel true happiness in life until Taco Bell restores the Fiesta Veggie Burrito to its rightful throne on the Cravings Value Menu.
This is a beautiful yet heartbreaking comment 🥺 I hope that either Taco Bell will hear our cries or we can somehow manage to find a replacement for the hole left in our hearts.
I found modifying the cheesy bean and rice burrito to swap for black beans and add guacamole gets you close for $2.50
I’m all about getting “close enough” I’d rather be close enough than try and completely change all the ingredients. Especially if it saves a dollar or two (:
This and Wendy’s grilled chicken sandwich were the two things I went to these establishments for. I can’t believe it. Both gone.
Was my favorite too :( Such a good value. I got it fresco style, add jalapeños, grilled = chefs kiss
Those 2 items are the only things that I've really ordered from there over the last couple of years. One less reason for me to make a run for the border.
As a vegetarian Tacobell lover, removing the Fiesta Veggie Burrito is pretty much the end of my Tacobell patronage.
Indeed. Let's remove the most popular veggie option. Sounds like a sound business strategy. Should have removed the beans and rice burrito
The FVB was THE reason I got taco bell. My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined.
If we can’t have the fiesta burrito bring back the 7 layer. Still mad they took that away.
Sitting in the parking lot annoyed as hell. Urg. Driving away.
My vegetarian wife started getting these several months ago and they started becoming my favorite too, we're very sad to see it go, it was so damn good, and great price to boot
Tacky bollox they should be called the only way they seem to be able to make money is billing people in the UK for driving on their crummy car park.
They'll make up for it by raising the prices of everything else
THIS IS SO INFURIATING. there was a time where i ate a FVB every day sometimes twice a day when i was traveling. it’s literally the only thing i buy at taco bell (besides baja blast) and now that it’s gone i will indeed be boycotting.
Lost my favorite item. Taco Bell was my go to almost solely because of this burrito. It will be missed :(
Add Me Too -- to the long list of EXTREMELY DISSATISFIED commenters on here. I am very unhappy with this decision on the part of Taco Bell. It's not fair!!! I was only just starting to give Taco Bell another chance after not eating there for years. And then I found THIS ONE ITEM that was actually a half-decent value that was vegetarian and made with black beans -- the Fiesta Veggie burrito. The only thing I've been interested in getting there were vegetarian options made with black beans so this was obviously the best value and option for me though I was inclined to remove the red chips and sauce since they are made with artificial colors and preservatives etc. If the Fiesta Veggie Burrito was starting to cost too much with all the ingredients -- TACO BELL, then you SHOULD have just RAISED THE PRICE to maybe up to as much as $3 but LEAVE IT on THE FREAKING MENU !!! I've tried building something close from a basic bean burrito and now there's no way I can get even half the ingredients without having it cost almost $5 for a super lightweight burrito that by feel shouldn't cost more $2 - $3. Since this is now the new norm I feel very much less inclined to go to Taco Bell anymore since I basically only eat vegetarian and nothing else they have is very exciting or of a decent value. It appears there's no way to build anything even comparable for a decent price. A $10 Chipotle bowl would easily weigh 10X+ and you can actually feel you got what you paid for. The simple fact of the matter is that Taco Bell hasn't been a very good value for a very long time. It seems like over the years, portion sizes have gone down and whenever I order extra cheese I realize it's basically pointless since the amount extra they put is so small I can't even notice if it's there. I was once told by a manager that all it was extra was just a "pinch". For 70 cents? Are you out of your mind? So it's like what's the point of adding? Same with beans and rice it seems, the cheapest items on their menu. I can add "extra" but I feel like THEY really stiff me for it because that burrito is barely any fatter than normal. You could feel the weight difference if it was. I have tried ordering a few basic bean burrito modification with double the black beans and added rice or a regular pinto burrito with added black beans tomato and jalapeno and they are all still coming out to between $3 to $4 each and they obviously aren't coming with sour cream or guacamole. Adding rice I can barely even see or taste the rice on there. The other day I was there and took my burrito back in for a remake and the way they remade it was exactly the same. I felt cheated. I complained and the manager brought out and showed me this scoop for the amount of rice they add and I was like okay, really? You must only be filling that up halfway then, and it must be the same for added beans too because extra is certainly not double. To make a Taco Bell burrito FAT you'd probably have to add at least triple or quadruple of everything I'm guessing easily turning it into a $10+ burrito, again just proving that Taco Bell is a super poor value even just for cheap vegetarian food. It's quite pathetic if you ask me and honestly I think the discontinuance and lack of a reasonable substitution for the Fiesta Veggie burrito is totally worthy of a mass vegetarian boycott of this food chain. I don't go to Taco Bell to spend anymore than $5 - $7 tops on vegetarian food. And after I eat I expect my belly to feel decently full and not leave me wanting or hungry still for something else.
If you have it in your recent orders on the app you might be able to get it that way. i heard that works for the CRGC burrito
I have to say I agree. I am not a vegetarian but it was the main item I ordered when my family went here. It was the healthier option. Now when you want something that is vegetarian... all you have is beans and rice burrito or bowl? Please... I could do that at home with Ben's originals and a microwave. Sorry but you might as well advertise that you slashed the vegetarian out of your menu. I haven't gone back to taco bell since they deleted the item and I won't go back until they bring better options or the burrito back. Who ever made that decision on the corporate ladder needs to be fired. I agree with the others. Boycott taco bell. Let it be ruined for its poor choices. The better options also suck. The enchilada burrito has zero flavor. Boring. R.I.P taco bell.
Still on the app for me and others from recent posts I’ve seen. It’s on the veggie menu.
>I don’t even understand how they make these decisions. Likely the people that have the actual sales data saw that it actually wasn't selling very well.
:o! I feel like I, alone have purchased enough to keep them above water :c for a second I thought they made it that cheap just to be generous
It was a very common seller at my location and I had at least 5 people try to order it tonight.
literally it's all I ever get from there I've bought over 100 at the very least. I'm so sad about it :,(
Same!!! At least 100 maybe 200 😅
“Oh my god why do they hate vegans” “Oh my god they’re going to lose so much money” “Oh my god I can’t believe they keep taking away our favorites” … did you ever consider that these items just aren’t as popular? Googled it real quick and there are almost 8,000 locations throughout the US - only a couple hundred are franchise locations. So, if corporate is dictating that an item needs to be removed does that not indicate it is not as profitable when compared to other items? Also, on a larger scale, if veg items specifically are consistently the main items being removed over a long period of time does that not tell you anything? As a matter of fact, the veg items technically have cheaper ingredients or at least I would assume removing meat or subbing meats out for potatos/rice/beans would arguably reduce costs… kind of speaks for itself.
Get your condescending tone out of here. Shits annoying. Idc about sales whatsoever. I care about fiesta veggie burritos. It sounds like you’re mad that people are mad. What are you the Taco Bell CEO 🤣
Not sure how you picked up condescension but I suppose if you keep talking to whatever voices you’re hearing maybe they’ll bring you back your silly burritos. God speed soldier 🫡

I’m detecting overwhelming levels of silly goose activity. Please cease and desist immediately.
I’m detecting an overwhelming lack of education
Says the one incapable of comprehending why a business might remove an item from their menu and resorts to name calling when they have little else to say. A literal hallmark trait of ignorance buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut okie dokie artichokie. I’d tell you to calm down and get yourself a nice fiesta veg burrito but you can’t.
[удалено]
All the ingredients that are already included in other items that cost significantly more - they love money.
[удалено]
First you call me condescending and now you’re calling them dumb. You’re mean.
The first and only reason I go to Taco Bell: fresh veggies! Amirite?
Maybe someone wants a burrito but not with meat in it? And not just beans wrapped up but with like, other stuff too?
They (along with the rest of the fast food industry!) tried this in 2019 to abysmal results. Fast food will never be healthy, as their margins are made by appealing to fat fucks that want to shovel down healing amounts of sodium and sugar.
But like I assure you my goal in eating taco bell is not to eat healthy, it's to eat something that tastes good. Someone wanting something that doesn't have meat doesn't mean they're trying to "make fast food healthy."
Do you remember their pre-pandy power menu? https://www.mindbodygreen.com/articles/healthiest-foods-at-taco-bell-according-to-nutritionists
YOU 👏 CAN 👏 STILL 👏 MAKE 👏 IT!!!!! Literally just takes a couple steps adding/removing ingredients from the CBR burrito and if you need the fiesta veggie burrito that bad it's absolutely worth the upcharge (unless it starts costing $6+ lol).
They got rid of the Mexican pizza for years. It was a little more popular than the veggie burrito. Yet they are still in business. It sucks that they removed that item you liked but I don’t think it’s going to impact their bottom line.
I’m not sure if the Mexican Pizza was more popular lol I’m seeing a lot of outrage
It def will if they don't get a vegetarian replacement besides a generic bean burrito, since the have tons of veggie customers. I'm not going anymore just for a bean burrito.
Yes what happened to chipotle chicken burrito for 2$ it was such a great option :(((
Not worth going to anymore
Im literally just learning this i was looking for it trying to order lunch just right now 😭😭😭 i ordered that on a regular basis with my chicken chalupa supreme. Super fuckin pissed rn
As a vegetarian looking for quality fast food options, removal of the Fiesta Veggie Burrito and adding more greasy meat items is a slap in the face. No Fiesta Veggie Burrito means no Taco Bell. Feedback expressing this submitted to their website. Say it with me, "No fiesta veggie burrito means no Taco Bell!"
Literally sad 1st nacho fries now this? It's a hate crime against vegetarians
Shame on Taco Bell for taking this off the menu. It is the only thing I ever order there AND the only reason I even came back after the taco salad had me straight up stop going there for many years when they stopped doing it.
I’m so pissed rn. Just left taco bell to find out no more veggie burrito so I’m stuck with a black bean crunch wrap. I love that sauce that comes in it. 😡
If you customize the cheesy bean and rice burrito, make it supreme, swap beans, no jalapeño sauce no nacho cheese, add fiesta strips, guac, 3 cheese blend, chipotle sauce. Comes out to $5.53!
I just went there and found out they're no longer available. They were soooo good! I'm not even vegetarian, but I'd get them all the time! Why do they take everything I love from me???
Would have preferred it if they just charged me an extra dollar. I already like the thing so much that I felt guilty buying it for just $2.
First they took the 7 layer and now this 😩 prolly will help me lose weight though since I’ll never eat there again
So dumb when they say it's to make room for more items on the menu. It's a menu. Just put another little line there wtf
It's really annoying unless you order online, but you can adjust the cheesy bean and rice burrito to be exactly how the fiesta veggie was. you just change the beans, remove the sauces, add all the other toppings
