Studying the menu above the counter of the new Taco Bell in the Plaza Bella Mall in , , I am drawing a blank. What the hell’s a tambache? And what’s a tacostada? Then, thanks to the photos, I start to puzzle it out.

A flour tortilla folded around a tostada and a ground beef filling is a called a Crunchwrap Supreme at Taco Bell in the U.S. “Tambache” is the made-up name Taco Bell has given it in . And since rigid fried tortillas like the ones Taco Bell uses for its tacos are called tostadas in , Taco Bell changed the name of their signature item from a taco to a tacostada to avoid getting into that whole “what is a taco” debate with the Mexicans. Hmm… so shouldn’t they rename the chain Tacostada Bell in ?”*
