Technically, you can still get it, but the 7 layer burrito was my go-to order when I was on the road and forced to have fast food. The Taco Bell in the next town over was right off the highway, so as I would be zipping between patients, it was usually the only realistic option other than a truck stop that had put people in the hospital three times. So, you know, l decided to live, mas or not lol.
There was a point in time where I ended up eating a lot of taco bell. Enough that I'd had everything on their menu at least once, up until 2005. After that, I haven't been able to work, so no zipping around three counties wiping butts, which means no need for fast food except as an occasional thing. So I've lost track of if they've had any temporary stuff or not.
But, yeah, the 7layer was bomb. Like I said, you can still get the same thing by messing around and adding things to other burritos, but that's a pain in the ass for drive through, if you feel me.
Mirroring Taco Bell here. Mine was the cheesey bean and rice burrito....they removed it and re released it, but it's not the same at all. No pico, almost no creamy jalapeno sauce and just a bunch of rice and beans now.
And they're obnoxiously expensive for what you get. You could get far better food for the prices Taco Bell demands nowadays.
When they where 99c they were great, but now they're like $1.89 or something and missing basically everything that made them great.
Over where I am it's closer to 3 dollars for the cheapest burritoes. Stuff like the 5-layer and grilled cheese burrito are 7 bucks!
Holy shit, that's like a sit down Mexican restaurant for most of the USA. ($7 for a burrito)
There's a reason Primus' Les Claypool mentions the 7 Layer Burrito in "Wynonna's Big Brown Beaver".
The shit was good.
