News: Taco Bell Testing Chicken and Waffle Taco

Photo: Anonymous

While Taco Bell is still working on their Waffle Taco breakfast test, they're also looking at other variations by having very briefly (for about a week) tested the Chicken & Waffle Taco and are currently testing the Very Berry Waffle Taco at a few select locations in Orange County, CA.

Unlike the original Waffle Taco, the two new versions were/are offered as all-day options.

The Chicken & Waffle Taco featured a breaded chicken patty folded inside of a waffle taco shell (i.e. a folded waffle). It's served with a choice of either country gravy or syrup. The test price wast 99 cents, but I imagine a finalized price would fall between $1 and $2.

The Very Berry Waffle Taco is a waffle taco shell filled with whipped cream and fresh blueberries and strawberries. The test price is 79 cents per taco.

While the Waffle Taco incorporates standard breakfast staples, the Chicken & Waffle Taco embraces a recent trend of chicken and waffle items (see here, here, and here) and, along with the Very Berry Waffle Taco, offers a combination not currently offered by major competitors.
