Taco Bell Crunchwrap Supreme

crunchwrap.jpgTaco Bell’s new Crunchwrap Supreme is a great idea that seems like it would work well, but instead disappointed me. The Crunchwrap Supreme is a tostada shell with meat, nacho cheese sauce, sour cream, and some rabbit food (tomatoes and lettuce…) all wrapped in a tortilla and grilled. It has all the components needed to taste great – so why didn’t I like it? First, it suffered from a limp tostada shell that had no crunch at all. Second, it was grilled too much, giving it a nasty, burnt flavor. I’ll probably try it again, just in case the person who made my Crunchwrap Supreme was having a bad day. I hope the next one is better.

Phoood rating: So-so

Had one today and I thought it was pretty good. Fortunately for me, I didn't have the limp tostada you suffered. I found that it was one of those foods that you can easily drive and eat with.

Frankly, it seems a little pricey to me. Plus I don't like sour cream.

this was the best food i have ever had! i had it yesterday and i'm going back for one tomorrow! its so good!! i love it especially the yummy nacho cheese!

I tried it this afternoon actually. It was nice and warm, not mention crunchy. I thought the only part that I would change is the sour cream. It just made the warm feeling cold.. I wouldn't recommend them heating sour cream (that'd be gross) and I wouldn't exactly say take it out.. but it doesn't really flow with the grilled feeling.

the first time i had this it was amazing...the second it sucked. I think it varies based on how much of which ingredients go in...

Posted by: at July 11, 2005 3:24 PM

I tried it Saturday. I must say it was tasty. However, beside the fact that sour cream is very fattening, I don't like the taste of it. I didn't discover until later that you can actually request what you want to be on it. I will definetly try it again...YUMMY!!

I've tried this three times now and had extremely inconsistant results. There seems to be an art to properly balancing the ingredients otherwise it becomes a very lopsided, boring eat. Only one outing, the first, was great. The rest... terrible.

crunchwrap supreme...when it first came out i didnt think it looked good until some of my friends got it and they said it was great so i got one and it was in fact one of the best things there. i love it and the only downside is either the grilling of it or the sour cream but im not a big sour cream fan. overall i think its great and its only 1.79 at the taco bell by my house.

good. but not enough beef. yes, good. but better with more beef.

Posted by: eh at August 4, 2005 2:35 PM

The crunchwrap supreme is the best thing taco bell has come out with besides the normal fare....you can eat for less than 2 and it fills you up.

I INVENTED THE CRUNCHWRAP SUPREME

Posted by: at September 7, 2005 2:03 PM

I hereby officially nominate the CrunchWrap for Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States of America. This extraordinary marvel of Mexican engineering could interpret our nation's constitution better than anyone presently sitting on the bench. Bow your heads and pledge your loyalty to his honor the great Crunchwrap.

I would have to disagree with you about that I really think it is a great eat. I like the way it is put together it keeps everything together so you have less mess. And my 4 year old son really loves them.

Posted by: lady_whitewolf37 at September 18, 2005 8:44 AM

I love the Crunchwrap Supreme. Personally, I think it is based on the location and the person who made it. All the food I get from Taco Bell is great, and I love eating there. The crunchwrap supreme is a favorite there for me.

Posted by: Sarah at September 20, 2005 8:59 PM

This is the BEST thing Taco Bell has!!!! My family HIGHLY recomends it. It fills you up and it's wallet friendly, too....how can you go wrong? TRY IT.

Posted by: at September 21, 2005 3:14 AM

The crunchwrap supreme has never failed to please my appetite. Me and my friend enjoy tasty crunchwrap supremes in a variety of flavors. Chicken, spicy chicken, and beef, beef being my favorite... my friend seems to enjoy spicy chicken. Taco Bell deserves a standing ovation for the idea of this cheap yet very tasty treat. The crunchwrap supreme with beef is valued at $1.79 at our local Madison, Ohio Taco Bell.
The crunchwrap features sour cream, zesty cheese sauce, lettuce, tomatoe, a cruncy inside, and a soft outside, and topped off with your choice of a meat. The crunchwrap can be made a meal for 3.45$ and includes a taco of your choice and a medium soft drink of your choice. I recently ordered 2 of them and was filled by the first half of the 2nd taco. A must for college students.

I LOVE THE CRUNCH WRAP SUPREME. I THINK IT IS THE BEST THING THAT TACO BELL HAS EVER COME OUT WITH. MY FAMILY USUALLY GOES TO TACO BUENO AND NOW I CAN GO TO BELL AND JUST ONE IS ALMOST MORE THAN I CAN EAT. AND EVERYONE THAT I HAVE TOLD ABOUT THIS LOVES IT TOO. YOU SHOULD REALLY GIVE IT ANOTHER CHANCE AS THESE ARE TOTALLY AWESOME.

Posted by: Melanie at September 21, 2005 2:12 PM

Anything taco bell has to be good! Umm! Chalupas!

Posted by: The Phantom at September 27, 2005 8:08 PM

Where's the crunch? Isn't there supposed to be, as advertised, a 'crunchy' taco inside the wrap? Without the taco it's a mess to eat unless you have big hands and/or eat over a tarp.

At $2.39, it's too much for the trouble, but as a 'rip-off' it's priceless.

Crunchwrap is the ONLY thing I like at Taco Bell. Having worked a taco rail myself in the distant past, I've always felt everything there tasted the same. The same old ingedients combined in a different way. Crunchwrap is good with lotsa fire sauce. It's the best value for the dollar in fast food. Howver, I agree that it can be very inconsistant form store to store. There is some magic balance that is not always attained. Twice I've had one that wasn't even closed up. I'm used to it being self contained, then all of a sudden I'm wearing it!

LONG LIVE CRUNCHWRAP!

Posted by: MoMerrier at November 20, 2005 8:34 PM

i thought it was very good i would have it any time.

Posted by: at November 21, 2005 5:18 PM

It's still the staple of my Taco Bell order. Take it home, cut it in half and it's like two double decker tacos and it makes sauce application much easier.

I LOVE THE CRUNCHWRAP ITS AMAZING.

Posted by: Lauren at December 18, 2005 6:15 PM

I love it and LOVE THE SOURCREAM on it. It would really suck with out the sour cream. You guys that don't like the sour cream on it don't know the real meaning of taco... Idiots!

Crunch wrap supreme rules!

the crunch wrap supreme is the best taco bell invention ever i could live off thease things!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Posted by: tlk at January 28, 2006 11:33 AM

Just tried one a day ago and was disappointed that the outer tortilla was not sealed and impossible to handhold as advertised. The price was very reasonable given the inflated price of fast food these days.

Posted by: Bob F at March 12, 2006 3:31 PM

i absolutely love the crunchwrap supreme!! its thee best thing ever invented & i always order it for lunch everyday! 2 thumbs up taco bell!

Sorry, i got carried away,

Buy a crunchwrap. Eat it. Soooooooo Crunchy.

Posted by: Nathan at April 23, 2006 4:31 PM

i'm a vegetarian and am offended that you call lettuce and tomato rabbit food. then i will call your wonderful meat dead-at-an-early-age food

Posted by: PT at May 2, 2006 4:04 PM

I HAD ONE BITE A COUPLE WEEKS AGO AND IT WAS VERY GOOD. I LOVE COLD SOUR CREAM ON A HOT MEAL. THE BITE I HAD WAS CERTAINLY NOT LIMP BUT I GUESS IF YOU WRAP IT AND KEEP ALL THE CONDENSATE INSIDE, THAT MAY CAUSE THE AFOREMENTIONED "LIMPNESS". I HAVE SENT SOMEONE TO PICK ME UP ONE TODAY. MY MOUTH WATERS AS I WAIT FOR HER REUTRN. I'LL KEEP YOU POSTED AS TO THE TASTE AND LIMPNESS OF THIS WRAP.

Posted by: TBONE at May 8, 2006 9:34 AM

i love my custom made crunchwrap with no veggies!!!

Posted by: Samm at May 25, 2006 11:03 AM

I'm having one later tonight and i cant wait! My parents went out for dinner and they said theyd pick something up for me on the way back. Ive had it before but its been a while. The only time it's bad is when its over grilled. Kinda gives it that burnt taste... but it rules overall

Posted by: dillon at May 25, 2006 4:31 PM

i might add that sour cream contains gelatin, which is made by grinding and processing bones. look it up

Posted by: PT at May 26, 2006 12:46 PM

I FREAKIN LOVE TACO BELL AND I AM GOING TO MARRY IT ONE DAY!

The Cruchwrap supreme is the sole reason why I believe that there is a God. It makes me willing to get up in the morning and face the world. It changed my life.

There is no greater pleasure in this world.

Thank you Taco Bell.

Posted by: Moose at July 5, 2006 5:28 PM

i'm eating it right now and I LOVE it!!! it's great and I actsually like the sour cream in it because it's nice and cool while the rest of it is hot so it's a perfect mix. Everytime i try it, it tastes good. I guess it depends on which taco bell you are at...

Posted by: Aleksandra at July 9, 2006 2:14 PM

CRUNCHRAP=SUPREME. hence the name "crunchwrap supreme" its the best thing ive ever eaten. tastes sooooo good

Posted by: lololo at July 20, 2006 10:05 AM

I thought the crunch wrap supreme is so AWESOME all the melted cheese and the BIG chip inside is so good.I recremend EVERYBODY to go to taco bell and but a crunch wrap for only like $2.00!!!

Posted by: Meradith at August 3, 2006 4:05 PM

OMG the crunch wrap supreme is the best food in town,ya'll ppl who havent tried it yet TRY IT TODAY!!!

Posted by: Kaden Wilson at August 3, 2006 4:08 PM

So I have never had one but apparenttly you can go to Taco Beuno and buy one or something gay like that.

Posted by: Fat Dempsey at August 7, 2006 1:03 PM

So apparently, this one dude liked it but disliked it and said it wasnt toasted enough but was burnt

Posted by: Fat Dempsey at August 7, 2006 1:04 PM

I usually hang out at TACO BUENO but I decided to eat one. It wasn't toasted at all and was too burnt.

Posted by: Jaman at August 7, 2006 1:04 PM

I work for Taco Bell and at an A1 store I might ADD.
I agree with the majority of what I have read the Crunch Wrap is AWSOME....but it does depend how it is made. The taste should be in every bite, if not, it was not made correctly. Great value, easy to eat.

Posted by: Denise at September 13, 2006 9:07 PM

I love the crunchwrap supreme... except for the sour cream. I've had it many times, and yes, the results vary depending on who makes it. And it would be better with more meat. It has been really good most of the time, though. I like it with the spicy chicken.

Posted by: shadowsoul at October 12, 2006 11:29 PM

umm..i loved the crunch wrap supreme, even after the first time i got food poisioning from it...so i went back again...and then i got it once more...honestly how can you get food poisioning TWICE from the same place, with the same exact food...you might wanna think about that!!!

Posted by: Shannon at December 5, 2006 1:03 PM

Its the best item Taco Bell has ever offered, hands down.


With the exception of an Inn and Out Double Cheeseburger, it might be the best fast food item in existence at this point in time.

Posted by: at February 7, 2007 7:42 PM

#13 1 crunchwrap supreme + 1 taco + drink (gotta go with the baja blast)for about 3.50plustax is definitely the best combo taco bell has to offer

Posted by: at April 15, 2007 2:07 PM

The Crunchwrap supreme is sssssssssooooooooooooooooooooooooo good! so everyone who says otherwise, is gay or a lesbian, or just a dumbass

Posted by: Yo momma at May 15, 2007 4:38 PM

I love the Crunchwrap supreme. It's all I really eat from TB now. XD

Posted by: Rita at September 6, 2007 1:36 PM

I've only had the crunchwrap once because I was fairly disappointed with it. It has a decent taste but it seems for them to make it good for travel it requires a lot of tortilla. Too much tortilla for me to enjoy, and it may be that there wasn't enough inside to make up for it but who knows. And I saw someone say that this was the best thing they have come out with, I would have to say that the cheesy gordita crunch was bomb dizzle and I would recommend that to anyone.

Posted by: Mike at October 24, 2007 12:27 PM

i love the crunch wrap its sooo good

Posted by: at November 3, 2007 8:50 PM

Trust me take your own imagination add and subtract and you will see how u will enjoy the crunch wrap more than ever
