Taco Bell menu tries wild items, new kind of shell
For anyone who consumes fast food regularly, it's likely you've already noticed that your favorite drive-through joint (along with all the others) are always offering up something new. The race to innovate and disrupt is present at pretty much all casual service chains. Sure, a customer might buy food or even become a regular. But if you don't offer new things, you risk losing their loyalty. Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter You'd think McDonald's, the biggest of the fast-food giants, wouldn't have this problem, as its menu is full of classics that people have been buying for decades. But even this powerhouse chain is not immune. During its most recent earnings call, McDonald's reported a year-over-year decline in net revenue - $1.87 billion in Q1 2025, versus $1.93 billion in Q1 2024 - as well as a same-store sales drop of 3.6%. Related: McDonald's launches unusual new drink to recover customers While McDonald's attributed the drop to dampened consumer sentiment around geopolitical tensions, it's also known for being a more classic brand and experimenting in a more traditional way than some of its competitors. Swing the pendulum to the opposite side, and there you have Yum! (YUM) Brands-owned Taco Bell, which has done everything from create a taco using a Doritos shell to reimagining the tostada atop a giant Cheez-It. Now the chain is back at it with another wild invention, and this one might be even more unhinged than all the ones that came before it. In an Instagram post shared on July 18, food blogger Snackolator gave us a closer look at what Taco Bell is working on next: a taco with a shell made entirely of cheese. This is the Quesocrisp Taco that Taco Bell showed off at its Live Mas event a few months ago. The all-cheese shell is filled with a choice of beef or cantina chicken and topped with Jalapeno Ranch sauce. There are reports that this item has been popping up in the Orange County area, with some consumers taking to Reddit to post about their experience with the new taco. "Not that good," Reddit user Panda42 wrote in their post. "The quesocrisp they advertised at the Live Mas event was nothing like this, and only makes this even more disappointing. I'd rather pay $5 for a double-stacked taco instead of one of these again." Related: Taco Bell menu adds a popular McDonald's favorite Snackolator's post also mentioned the new Tacodilla, which is basically a very long soft taco that comes stuffed with steak, melted cheese, and a red chile sauce. This one has been spotted in Detroit, Columbus, and Toledo so far. Another Redditor tried out the Tacodilla, and the reviews were far better compared to the Quesocrisp. "Reporting in. The Tacodilla is amazing, and big," Reddit user 0pThomas_Prime wrote in a post from June 17. "Sorry I didn't have a banana for scale. Definitely going back for this. I know it's a bit pricey, but it's easily 2 chalupas worth of food. That sauce is tasty!" The Tacodilla originally appeared on Taco Bell's "Dreams" list during its Live Mas event, which meant the brand was unsure if the item would ever make it to the official menu - and now it has. While some other chains are reporting that customers are pulling back from eating out amid worries about economic uncertainty, Taco Bell doesn't seem to be having those problems. It reported a strong first quarter during its April earnings call, with U.S. same-store sales up by 9% in Q1, while system sales were up 11%. "A tough operating environment probably favors Taco Bell. It's just firing on all cylinders right now," Yum! Brands CEO David Gibbs said during a June 18 earnings call. "Penetration is going up, bringing more customers into the brand with things like Cantina Chicken. Value stands out. And innovation - nobody else sells anything close to what we sell. We're in an enviable position," he said. Related: Taco Bell, Pizza Hut, and KFC face a major change The Arena Media Brands, LLC THESTREET is a registered trademark of TheStreet, Inc.

McDonald's secures honor no restaurants wants
America's restaurant industry is at a post-pandemic crossroads, grappling with rising prices, shifting consumer habits, and the relentless march of digital transformation. Both independent eateries and well-known chains have been suffering and closing rapidly, and there doesn't seem to be one reason for failure or recipe for success. Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter Yet, as the latest 2025 American Customer Satisfaction Index (ACSI) Restaurant and Food Delivery Study reveals, the biggest names in the business often fall short where it matters most: customer satisfaction. While large chains dominate the landscape in terms of sales and visibility, their sheer scale doesn't always translate to happy customers. In fact, the ACSI study shows that many of the industry's largest players - especially in the quick-service and food delivery sectors - routinely fall behind smaller rivals in customer satisfaction scores. For example, the quick-service restaurant (QSR) sector maintained a customer satisfaction score of 79 out of 100. Chick-fil-A led the survey for the 11th year in a row, scoring 83. McDonald's, Wendy's, and Taco Bell failed to make the top tier, overshadowed by regional favorites and smaller brands that have made strides in customer service. McDonald's earned the worst ACSI score (70), but ACSI analysts believe the chain's new efforts to speed up research and development needed to drive faster technology and menu changes could reverse the company's slide. Raising Cane's and Wingstop, relative newcomers compared to some names on the list, are gaining ground by focusing on a limited menu, quality, and digital engagement even as they grow. The full-service segment tells a similar story. Texas Roadhouse, a chain that emphasizes local flair and attentive service, topped the list with an 84. Olive Garden and LongHorn Steakhouse also performed well, but many other big names struggled. Chili's, for example, saw its score drop by 3%, while Buffalo Wild Wings and Denny's posted some of the lowest satisfaction ratings in the sector. Related: Trader Joe's rivals could learn a lesson from the cult favorite company What's driving the gap? "Large chains often face challenges maintaining consistency and personal touch as they expand. Customers notice when service feels impersonal or when digital experiences don't match up to expectations," said Associate Professor of Marketing at Michigan State University and ACSI's Director of Research Emeritus, Forrest Morgeson, in an announcement. Digital ordering and delivery have become critical to the restaurant experience, but the biggest brands are stumbling here, too. The nationwide chains rely on digital platforms for ordering and delivery, but the third-party services may make it difficult for them to provide a seamless or consistent experience. Satisfaction is highest among dine-in customers (83), but falls for carry-out (79) and drops even further for delivery (74). The complexity of scaling digital operations appears to be a stumbling block for many industry leaders. Perhaps nowhere are the challenges facing big brands more evident than in food delivery. While the sector as a whole improved slightly to a satisfaction score of 74, smaller delivery brands outperformed the giants. Uber Eats scored 75, while DoorDash and Grubhub each managed only 73. Chick-fil-A also led in the South and West and tied with Culver's in the Midwest, while Starbucks took the Northeast. In the burger category, Culver's edged out Burger King; in pizza, Papa Johns and Pizza Hut came out on top - demonstrating that even within categories, the biggest names don't always win. As the restaurant industry faces economic headwinds and changing consumer expectations, the ACSI survey makes one thing clear: being big isn't enough. Customers want quality, consistency and a personal touch. These are areas where smaller or regional brands can beat out the big nationwide chains.
