Update (Wednesday, July 6th, 2005)

Readers in Canton OH, San Francisco CA, Houston TX, and Springfield IL have written in to let me know that as of a few weeks ago, the Crunchwrap Supreme seems to be available nationwide. It has finally appeared on TacoBell.com as well.

The Taco Bell Crunchwrap Supreme (Monday, August 23rd, 2004)

The Taco Bell Crunchwrap Supreme is a tostada shell (flat fried corn tortilla) with beef and nacho cheese on one side and lettuce, tomatoes and sour cream on the other side, all wraped in a soft flour tortilla and grilled. It's really good, but for some reason it doesn't seem to exist outside the Portland area.

It's not listed on Taco Bell's web site, a Google search yields only a couple of entries with no information (not including my own blog entry, and soon this page as well). People in Illinois, New York, Texas, Arizona and Colorado tell me they haven't seen it.

This made me curious, so I decided to call Taco Bell's customer service center and inquire. Unsurprisingly, they weren't able to tell me anything, other than that it's a test product and not available in all areas. If it's not available in your area and you think it sounds good, you can call 1-800-TACO-BELL and put in a request that they bring it to your local Taco Bell, although of course I wouldn't expect them to pay too much attention to that.

If you're wondering what it looks like, I've taken a few pictures.

Yes, they forgot my taco, which was supposed to be included with the combo. I went back and got one. They did remember no tomatoes.
