When I was a little kid about 10-15 years ago, Taco Bell had an item on their menu called the "Chilito". It was simply a chili and cheese burrito and it was the greatest thing since sliced bread. Shortly after the introduction of the Chilito, Taco Bueno countered with their "Chili/Cheese Burrito" which was about 95% as good as the Chilito. A few months later however, Bueno introduced the "Chili/Cheese Crunchy Potato Burrito" which was simply a Chili/Cheese Burrito with a fried hash brown in the middle. It was an orgy for the mouth.

Sadly, these items were short lived. I hear the Chilito is still available in Southern California Taco Bells, but it has been gone from here for at least a decade. Buenos Chili/Cheese Crunchy Potato has slowly evolved into the abortion of a burrito (which contains no chili or queso) that currently resides on their menu. I miss the Chilito.

You can still get a Chilito at Taco Bell. It's just called a chili cheese burrito now. They are on the menu in Katy. Even if they aren't on the menu at your local Taco Bell, you can still order them.

I heard Arsenio Hall say on his show that McDonalds discontinued the McRib sandwich because "not enough McNegros were buying them".

I've asked every Taco Bell within a 50 mile radius of Abilene and I have had no luck.

The gas just one would give you is off the charts. If you could run a hose from your butt to your cars gas tank, you could go from Dallas to Chicago on one Chilito.
