hello everyone this is running on empty food review well hello ladies gentlemen and everyone
watching welcome to this newest review this newest of course edition and installment of
the running on empty food review series this is a big day this is massive so massive as a matter of
fact i am breaking tradition you can see this shirt that i am wearing doesn't have a pocket
no pens today because this is massive this is a massive adjustment maybe a massive improvement
or massive you know decline i mean we'll find out right but taco bell re-released
a classic signature item with one major adjustment i know everyone right now is getting their hopes
up that the tacos scarpariello are finally back unfortunately they're not but we'll
keep our fingers crossed that one day they will be but this is even better this is even better
i'm just psyching myself up you know taco bell has brought back the quesaloopa this
was originally released in 2016. it's a crispy double layered chalupa shell that's my bad for the
my handwriting it's a crispy double layered chalupa shell with cheese between the layers you
have a chalupa the cheesiness of a quesadilla what happens when you combine them both nuclear fusion
in between these layers you have melted pepper jack cheese and mozzarella cheese
likewise you have seasoned beef inside you'll see it of course
better than i'm explaining it lettuce shredded cheddar cheese tomatoes and sour cream but
there's one major major change that we need to let you all know about there's 50 more cheese
i remember that review in 20 2016 i guess it was it was a fateful day let me tell you it was
it was a fateful day i i enjoyed it to my recollection i remember then though i was
sitting in the car trying this out the cheese was you know it was already very cheesy the cheese was
rolling down my my i think my chin i was sitting there and i was saying no more no more but there's
50 more this time around but might be good you know might be a good adjustment maybe too much
of a good thing i don't know the quesalupa is back though lots of folks are excited about it
we have these stickers here on the bag sealed for me
and inside we have these napkins
you can tell i had a lot of caffeine before i turned the camera on today
we have ourselves a case of lupa wow a quesa lupa look at that we were talking about nuclear
fusion that's why it's in this it's kind of it protects from the you know the radiation etc
oh my goodness wow look at what we have here
it's in the it's in the chalupa the quesa looper
the quesaloopa carrier look at that it's in the logo oh my gosh this is insane this is
incredible look at that and that piece of lettuce just sticking out right there my goodness this is
this couldn't get any better if you even even tried um well let's get a let's get a
thumbnail here here we go how about this something to this extent anyway
you know we'll do that sometimes you see how i got the shadow there sometimes i just try to
get things a little adjusted
i'll get this maybe
you know either way i'm sure i'll get a thumbnail out of this at some point but you see there's that
shell there's the seasoned beef you can see all the you know the so-called good stuff that happens
occurs in this in this divide right there but it's supposed to be extra cheesy extra cheesy chalupa
quesaloopa i keep calling it a chalupa you know that's one thing i'm used to sometimes getting
there but a quesada all right you know what's in it i know what's in it i think you got a good
look at it and then of course now i will start i will put this inside me you know by eating
it and um we'll see how it tastes so let's try this out the quesalupa from taco bell going in
so
i hope all the north american viewers are enjoying the daylight saving
time
two more bites
now let's try to focus it in here sometimes i've had disaster lately with the camera every time i
touch the thing it falls over
so there's a cross section of it let me ask you this all right what do you notice about this
quesaroopa quesadilla there's cheese in the quesadilla right it's a cheesy case
of luba with 50 more cheese melted pepper jack mozzarella cheese what do you notice
now yeah that i have hands that's true but what i was trying to get at is the fact that
does it look all that cheesy to you you know does it doesn't particularly look
exceptionally cheesy to me as a matter of fact this was a bit maybe a fortuitous
sign i don't really know i don't go crazy with the things that are incredibly cheesy now yeah
little cheese is all right here and there you know a nice cheeseburger a cheesy pizza some cheese on
a taco etc i you know i try to be impartial when i do these reviews and i try to say well you know
what it is what it is we'll just try it um but me personally i just don't like things that are
absolutely smothered in cheese now when i saw the marketing when i heard about this i thought
oh this is going to be one of those items you know you think it's going to have so much cheese on it
they're talking about it i mean it's like 50 more right it's got to be real cheesy um but on this
occasion i'm sitting here i'm eating it and i'm thinking well you know i'm you know personally
i'm enjoying this because as i just established i don't like things that are like insanely cheesy
sitting there so yeah this is actually pretty good but it's well i thought it would be cheesier than
this considering to me it feels as though they almost said maybe there was like a error in uh
communication or something and the guy making this 50 less cheese you know it's very strange
this has 50 percent more cheese and what did the original have this doesn't
it seems to me like it has 50 less cheese i mean again i suppose there is some cheese like that
might be a little more solid between these layers but it doesn't really seem like it's
all that incredible as a matter of fact first and foremost let's just say taste wise um i think it
tastes fine i mean i like it truth be told shoot i would get this again um i really would i like it i
this this is like all me it's not cheesy there's actually a decent amount of the seasoned beef for
once you actually see it's a there's actually a decent amount um it's flavorful that sour cream
is certainly there but it's not overbearing or overwhelming that kind of i don't really need any
sauce on this as a matter of fact um that works real nice you know you have the tomatoes there
which that's the taco bell quality but i must say you know they're still pretty fresh and juicy
nice you know the lettuce is is there um certainly fills its purpose but you know i have this crisp
freshness of of all of that the beef again is good um and it's not overwhelmingly cheesy you
know i could actually taste a little bit of that pepper jack cheese which is pretty cool
but it's just not as cheesy as i thought it would be again i think this is fantastic this
is how i would get it if i weren't reviewing it but i think people want to get this quesahoopa
they want it to be real cheesy you know they want a lot of cheese on it and they're kind of hoping
that this is like going to be real it goes in real cheesy let's almost knocked my glass off the table
but like if we pull this back and let's do some chalupa um well not exumation but you
know just dissection you can see pulling this back there's not really much cheese there at all um
you know not a ton of cheese on that layer there if anything barely any and you can see a little
bit of cheese right there but not a ton so i think i've established this and maybe it's just the one
that i got but i think some folks will have a problem with the fact that it's not as cheesy as
they would have hoped they're just looking forward to a real cheesy um cheese laden cheese ridden
cheesy quesalupa um i mean i think it's fine as it is but i think again some people want more of
of that cheese as they say and i think i've established that now the price for this by
the way was um anywhere from 299 to four dollars i got mine actually three bucks it's affordable good
portion size and again it tastes pretty good so here's what i have to say this is actually very
similar to the burger king thing that i tried um last time i thought it was a delicious sandwich
but it wasn't necessarily true to its name this is kind of funny this is act this is excellent
um there is a little bit of cheese to it though for sure um but i think some folks would expect
more cheese to it you know maybe the one you get will have more cheese i don't know
but resultantly i'm gonna be giving this a seven out of ten because again i really can't
find anything to truly nitpick aside from the fact that there's just a little less cheese and i would
have hoped but i mean there obviously is some cheese so bear that in mind your mileage may vary
i think it's pretty good i think it tastes good it's flavorful you might enjoy it
especially those of you that may not like a ton of cheese i think you really like this
maybe one thing if you know you really want that cheesy experience get it as for extra cheese but
i think it's okay as is that's just one thing that i think they could have improved upon but a good
item otherwise and with that that's all that i have for you ladies and gentlemen i'm your host
the report of the week and today we tried out the quesalupa from taco bell thank you and take care
