The well loved Taco is loved all around the world and in the Philippines, I've always had the pleasure of having one almost every week because of Taco Bell. With Taco Bell's National Taco Day fast approaching, they're going to make magic happen and make that Taco emoji you have on your phones into a real one... courtesy of the Taco Bell National Taco Day Promo!
How to get that TACO
It's actually quite easy. Just look for specific Taco Bell promotional materials with a special QR code in it. Scan that QR code with your phone (can be done with iOS or Android) then send a Taco emoji. If you've accomplished that, follow the instructions and you'll get a FREE Crunchy Beef Taco courtesy of Taco Bell on October 4th. If you haven't had one, think of seasoned beef, fresh lettuce and tomatoes, lots of cheese, hot sauce, in a crunchy taco shell exterior. They're basically throwing a taco party in the Philippines and you are the guest. Now how's that for taco love huh?!
If you want to know more about Taco Bell, just visit tacobell.com.ph
and follow Taco Bell on their social channels where the QR code will
come out. Enjoy the taco folks!
Taco Bell has been my comfort food haven and even though I abhore eating alone, I do it in their store in Gateway Mall in Quezon City. I just couldn't resist the Crunchy Taco, the Half Pound Burrito and Quesadilla which I love from their menu. I take a bunk chair and enjoy them, I order more if I have family and friends over.
I love Taco Bell ever since they got here in the Philippines, I also saw them in Jeffree Star videos who I'm subscribed to on YouTube. In fact, I can tell I'm secretly obsessed with it. I get when I can, and darn love every bite I take, even the chips count. Now enough about me, I've got really good news for you.
This weekend (specifically October 4th) is declared the National Taco Day. This means, our love Taco Bell is going to dish out new offerings just for you (and me hey!). To enjoy our favorite tacos at home, they are launching the new DIY TACO KIT so we can make our very own tacos, the way we want it, right at the comforts of our home. You can order it via GrabFood, FoodPanda or their hotline 8911-1111 in selected areas. They are also keen on making your order experience really special as they take your SHELL-ebration to the next level by taking out Php59 off delivery fees from October 1st to the 7th, for a minimum purchase of only Php599. That's only the tip of the iceberg lettuce, because it's National Taco Day on the 4th, loyal fans who use the National Taco Day frame on their profile pictures can get FREE TACO on any of their branches for a minimum purchase of Php300. That's a good deal right there.
Here's how I made my Tacos 🐮♥️
It came with instructions! :)
They prepared all the ingredients, all cooked, freshly chopped, the sauces too.
Took a short minute to heat this in the pan
Then got the ground beef in the base
Put in a dollop of sour cream in the center
Then a mound of chopped iceberg lettuce
Topped it off with Tomatoes and Cheese just for kicks. It was darn tasty!
Then of course there's a crunchy version!
Heat them up a minute in the toaster
Do the same toppings, even more Beef in my taco
Oh don't forget to spice it up with THE hot sauce
It just makes everything better 😊
Taco Bell Marketing Manager Ms. Angela Cruz says "The National Taco Day is the most precious holiday for us at Taco Bell and we want to share this fun event with our most loyal customers. We hope to see our taco lovers out there safe in our stores or right at the comforts of their home, to be reminded how FantasTACO their favorite food is."
You can check out the Taco Bell Facebook page and their other social media channels about this offer. You want comfort food at these times, and they know it. I made mine just the way I want it, you can do the same too! :)
I had this event on my schedules imprinted as CHACO DE MAYO. It ain’t Cinco De Mayo but the colorful south american vibe of it was celebrated in a new food item from our friends from KFC. I was a bit late because I was waiting for confirmation of my tickets (of another loner travel series soon) but I was excited to see what this fuss was all about. I heard they were already serving food and in the center, there was a big taco that looked funny. It wasn’t an ordinary taco, it looked huge and the shell was thick. Then it hit me, CHACO meant Chicken Taco! Ingenious, we waited for them to serve.
KFC’s Brand Manager Martha Dela Cruz says “2019 is very busy, you love the cracklings, the famous bowls and recently the double down. This one is exclusively served to you guys as you are the first ones to taste it. It is fresh from our kitchens, we made this fun, inspired from local cuisines and I hope you guys enjoy the CHACO. It’s got lettuce, tomatoes, salsa, taco mayo, grated cheese all sandwiched in our chicken fillet. We hope you enjoy this!”
This KFC CHACO will be served on May 9 in all KFC stores nationwide, but only on limited offer, so request for it if you like it so it would stay on the menu. Enjoy your CHACO! Oh and you’ll be getting a surprise ok the 13th, let’s see if we’ll make a separate feature for that.
