The chilito was my absolute favorite item ever! I swear Taco Bell makes an effort to discontinue everything good. Chilito, Baja Chalupa, Nacho Cheese Chalupa, Quesarito, on and on...
Taco Bell bought the Zantigo chain of fast food Mexican restaurants in the 1980s. One of the few menu items they brought over was the Chilito (though it wasn’t entirely the same). When Zantigo reopened restaurants in Minnesota in the late 1990s, Taco Bell was forced to drop the trademarked Chilito name, and rename it “chili cheese burrito”. Currently, a small percentage of franchisees still have it on the menu. It’s not, as some think, just a mix of meat, red sauce, and cheese. It actually is chili and cheese, and most Taco Bells don’t carry the chili sauce, so you can’t order one even off a “secret menu”.
It was my favorite item from taco bell. All they would need to bring it back is the chili sauce. Sonic' s fritos chili cheese burrito is a good substitute at the times they carry it.
@@DiegoGarcia-he9eb no nacho cheese. Somebody must have been mistrained and it spread. They say someone in the video did that too. The chili cheese burrito NEVER had nacho cheese. Someone also tried to tell me there was onion in it, like I hadn't eaten enough chilitos in my day to probably make the stock price move up.
Man, I loved the Chili Cheese Burrito; my favorite item. Soft gooey mess and I loved it. The video says it was removed from their menu in the mid-1990s ... locally, it was available on the menu for I think most of the 2000s. Another favorite of mine used to be the chicken soft taco, but they changed how the chicken was prepared, for the worse imo.
I HATE it when places do that! It’s so much worse than just discontinuing an item. If it’s discontinued you can at least HOPE that it will make a reappearance! I don’t know if it’s nationwide but my local Whole Foods had the best crispy like panko encrusted chicken tenders and I would always get them. Then I went in one day and they had replaced them with the old normal dry “southern style” that is just BAD! The weird thing is the actual quality of the chicken went down. I’m in the south and these are just not good versions of a southern fried chicken tender! Way too dry and floury now!!
I read an article once a month about a fan favorite item is returning to Taco Bell and every time I hope and assume it's the Chilito. Every time it's some item I have never even ordered. This all makes no sense.
I was a kid in the 80’s in Columbus, Ohio and growing up we went to Zantigos all the time it was so good. We didn’t even have Taco Bell yet. When Taco Bell started popping up we tried it a couple of times, but Zantigos was way better. Even just the tortillas were a better quality. Their nachos were like nachos you’d make at home real cheese melted on chips in an oven, not the liquid cheese. We couldn’t believe that Taco Bell would wind up taking over everywhere with our Zantigos closing.
If you want the bell on a budget try this menu hack: Order a cheesy beans and rice burrito. Add ground beef, onions and red sauce. Now you have a filling delicious burrito packed with protein for around 2 bucks after tax!!!
St. Louis-an here… we still have the chili cheese burrito and never had it go away. I can confirm, our here does not have the nacho cheese or red sauce. It’s the chili meat and cheddar cheese wrapped in a tortilla. We also had a chili cheese Frito Burrito for over a decade. It was my favorite!
Kroger's "Chili Sauce For Hot Dogs" is identical to Taco Bell's chili sauce. Add a flour tortilla and finely shredded mild cheddar cheese and you have an exact replica. I make them every week! Oh, and don't forget lots of salt.
They never took it off the menu in Canada, and it used to be one of the things that I ordered there. But I can also make a home made Chili Cheese Burrito using canned chili and shredded cheese.
I wish you could turn off the music on these types of videos! It would make it so much easier to watch, and a better viewing experience... 99% of videos like this have that
My mom lived in Cincinnati for a couple years back in the day, Skyline sold postcards of their chili recipe, my dads been making it for 40 years and it’s my favorite meal of all time!
Now we just need the Toasted Cheddar Chalupa, Verde Salsa, and Fire Roasted Salsa to make a comeback. Thankfully, being in the MSP metro I've been able to get chili cheese burritos for 20+ years
do they make it the same as back then though? it used to be a full size burrito wrapped with one end open, and the body of the burrito was full and if you squeeze abit it would ooze out on the top.
@@ians2777 I’m in the St Louis area. Before they officially brought it back on the menu I was able to order it. Try ordering it where you live. The worst they can say is that they don’t serve it.
What do you think of Taco Bell's Chili Cheese Burrito?
The beef is 88% beef? What’s the rest of the ingredients?
@@BoomerLoveforGenZ whatever's available. Same reason the mcrib is temporary.
Legendary
My favorite
You can get them at Taco Bell in Rocky Mount NC🤘🏾✨

This was my absolute favorite menu item and I'd get it all the time back in the day.
I used to work there as a teen and it was my favorite as well. I used to add onions and sour cream
It’s the best item on the menu. I used to order in after it was discontinued in LA. Chilito.
It's still on the menu in BC, Canada. I ordered one yesterday.

You can still get it just get a burrito with Nacho cheese, red sauce,beef, and cheddar cheese.

I can’t believe so many states don’t have them. I’m in ohio and they got them at every location.
@@ians2777 it had onions back in the 90s. I had it almost every day.. it was onions, meat, chili sauce, shredded cheese and tortilla.
The Chilito was the bomb!

Still available in Ohio Kentucky Indiana
Please bring this back to Taco Bell 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻😋😋😋

They also discontinued mexi-melts. Which are my favorite
same here! Have not seen one at a taco bell in years!
These are the easiest things to make at home. Taco meat, fresh pico de gallo, colby jack cheese. Microwave works good to melt the cheese.
@@94burb1 any suggestions on good pico de gallo? That's what made em so tasty
If you want the bell on a budget try this menu hack:
Order a cheesy beans and rice burrito. Add ground beef, onions and red sauce.
Now you have a filling delicious burrito packed with protein for around 2 bucks after tax!!!
We still have it in Toronto. I eat it often my favorite item
Chilitos are still available here.
👏👏👏 I live in Minnesota

I'm Canadian and the Chili Cheese Burrito is my go-to at Taco Bell.
Beef, Cheddar Cheese and Red Sauce!
Kroger's "Chili Sauce For Hot Dogs" is identical to Taco Bell's chili sauce. Add a flour tortilla and finely shredded mild cheddar cheese and you have an exact replica. I make them every week! Oh, and don't forget lots of salt.
And ground beef? I need to make this - the chilito was my fave ever 😊
They still have it at my small town Taco Bell in Ohio 😋. I believe they use red sauce, nacho cheese, and shredded cheese.
I LOVED chilitos!!!

Chili-cheese burrito is indeed still available in MN Taco Bells… but they charge almost $4 for it!
My favorite ❤️ the chilito. If you’re in Ohio and visit Skyline Chili, they have a chili cheese burrito, so good!
My mom lived in Cincinnati for a couple years back in the day, Skyline sold postcards of their chili recipe, my dads been making it for 40 years and it’s my favorite meal of all time!
It's just not $4 good though
I legit get one every time I go to Taco Bell. It's on the menu in SW Ohio.
Was here in central iowa in the mid to late 2000s
All of a sudden I'm hungry. 😆
My favorite thing at Taco Bell was the Enchirito but they disappeared from the menu a long time ago.
If it’s dropped no reason for me to go there anymore
These restaurants stay fkn up discontinuing items they made in the 90s
Now we just need the Toasted Cheddar Chalupa, Verde Salsa, and Fire Roasted Salsa to make a comeback.
Thankfully, being in the MSP metro I've been able to get chili cheese burritos for 20+ years
My favorite so I’m watching
Every taco bell I've ever been to here in Ohio has it and they never blink when I order one.
do they make it the same as back then though? it used to be a full size burrito wrapped with one end open, and the body of the burrito was full and if you squeeze abit it would ooze out on the top.
Something that taste close is their beef, enchilada sauce, diced onion, and mild cheddar cheese steamed together
If you're still eating taco bell you've got problems
The taco bell at the TA in Monroe, MI still has it
I love the chili cheese burrito but they do not have it where I live,
Might be a good idea to get some chili from Wendy’s and your own flour tortillas and shredded cheese. Add salsa at your own risk
Eat chili cheese burritos weekly in Oklahoma. I’d be devastated if they axed it!!!
It's always been on the menu... it's my favorite and now it's back in the regular menu
Taco Bell need to bring all of those back
CAP. They don't have the chili.
Who knew I was creating a taco bell item in my darkest cravings late at night?
My favorite Taco Bell item ever. I would gladly pay three dollars a piece For Them now
They’re using Wendy’s same commercial for their chili that’s pitiful
nacho cheese is incorrect
i got these all the time. I live in Ohio. There were a couple locations that kept it for awhile until they stopped too.
It’s because it was a pain for clean up
No, that isn't something they care about. They would just berate you for not going faster in those situations.
Sugar probably
They could make some real money if they bring this thing back and sell it in a box.
Taco Bell’s version doesn’t hold a candle to Zantigo’s. Not even close.
I LOVE TACO BELL TOO MY FRIEND AND THE VIDEO IS VERY GOOD AND AWESOME TOO MY FRIEND
Zantigo was my go to.
Man, I wish they still sold these
Best thing Taco Bell ever had, 99 cents back in the day. I’ll never understand why the replace great items with complete garbage.
That is my favorite item.
Disapear, they still sellem where im at
what's your favorite item from Tacobell?
I always ordered this off the secret menu, but now it’s on the menu at my location. No longer a secret.
Where? Are they bringing it back slowly?
@@ians2777 I’m in the St Louis area. Before they officially brought it back on the menu I was able to order it. Try ordering it where you live. The worst they can say is that they don’t serve it.
Tacobell Yummy
loved it, wish they would bring it back to Indy
First 🎉
I bet your parents are proud of you now!!
