Taco Bell Customers Report Smaller Nachos, Same Price

Customers have complained that Taco Bell’s Nachos BellGrande now comes in a smaller paper container than its former plastic tub, potentially reducing portions while the price stays the same; some say the change makes the meal a worse value. The paper packaging may reduce plastic waste, but the reported capacity difference has prompted shrinkflation concerns. Other Taco Bell customers say the Cheesy Gordita Crunch’s flatbread has become thinner or changed in texture, and that its taco shell can be stale, though these reports do not establish a company-wide change. Costco shoppers have similarly alleged that food-court hot dog buns are smaller, lack sesame seeds, or fall apart, while other customers say they have noticed no change. The complaints are based largely on customer observations and online discussions, and the accounts do not confirm that every location or order is affected.
