US vs Japan Taco Bell | Food Wars | Insider Food 

I’d love to see Joe’s reaction when he discovers we don’t have Taco Bell in Mexico

It was my first time trying Taco Bell but I’d say GST is the best Taco ever. Try it.

As a Taco Bell cook it was funny watching you guys Measure and weight them since they always come out shorter or longer or lighter or heavier depending on the rush or if we care enough 😂

Got Taco Bell for the first time in awhile, sat down to watch something on RU-vid while I eat and found this gem! Great series!

I like how Joe complains about baja blast but loves to take a sip out of it every time it appears before him.

This dude's describing his ideal taco and shoots down spicy mayonnaise and sour cream in a heartbeat but then decides RANCH is the best taco dipping sauce? Okay then...

when the sauces are piled on the side you can put them together yourself when you're ready to eat at home and they wont get soggy. i think its the better way to them. we do this with loaded fries as well in my country

was just watching some UK vs US food wars then came across this coming out literally 40 seconds. Great video though glad they are comparing other places besides the UK

The fact that Joe gets so excited when the food weighs more or has more calories, is legit everything! No country can compete with American sizes, on any level 😂

This is literally my favorite series on youtube, yall’s personalities really make these fun to watch!🔥 Keep it up 🙏

Shout out Taco Johns in Des Moines, IA! I miss you!!!!

The naked Chicken Taco is not exclusive to Japan, it's called the naked Chicken Chalupa, it used to be served in 2 types, the wild or mild version. It had an exclusive spicy wild sauce, and the mild was just the creamy guacamole sauce we normally used. I used to work at a tacobell when they were first getting released, another thing but it's seasonal that I believe was US exclusive were the nacho fries. EVERYBODY would complain when they were discontinued until the next season every hour, everyday "Do you guys still have the NACHO FRIES?!?!" "No." Immediately drives away furious.

George, the proper strategy with the DIY taco kit is to use the broken shell as a scoop to push the meat into the new, unbroken taco shell :) Take it from me, a Taco Bell veteran lol

FOR REAL, what makes pink lemonade different from regular lemonade? (besides the color obvi)

Wait....so in Japan I can make my own softshell taco and get more than a teaspoon of meat and 4 flecks of cheese on it? What is this.... some kind of parallel universe?

George should have just used a broken shell to scoop the meat into another shell, assuming that would have worked at all.😂

Refreshing episode, once again japans menu is interesting, didn’t know they can do flavor nacho chips, focusing on chicken star. Yeah Toco Bell is the most delighted meal when having a craving for munchies.

I think part of it is Taco Bell is selling an experience in Japan with the build your own nacho and tacos kits whereas, in the US, people are more familiar with making nachos and tacos already so they're not going offer those.

George is always a joy to watch. Awesome animation again animation/effects person! Meanwhile in the USA....I worry for Joe's health 😂 The US drinks line up look like it's own rave, LOL

😂when George said "What the hell!?" At the end

There is also Okonomiaki burrito but it is signature for the Osaka branch only. It's really yummy 😋

I really like George, we need more George content

Did George just call Guacamole "Avocado Sauce".

The DIY tacos and nachos is awesome bc you can actually get it home before the shell or chips turn to mush

I hope Joe's bathroom didn't explode after this one 😂😂

One thing I’ve def noticed from the Japan vs USA videos is how neat Japans packaging is compared to USA’s sloppy packaging lol

George is pretty damn funny😆. The no deserts part ...👍😆

I love this Japanese man!!!he is soooo funny 😆 😄

not Joe saying “Congratulations and I’m sorry” to George saying it’s his first time trying Taco Bell 💀 😭

The black bean items at taco bell are seriously some of the best things out there. Don’t sleep on taco bell’s non-meat options

George is just forever wearing that black shirt

I forgot all about Taco John's, I grew up in Omaha and we used to eat Taco John's all the time lol. I've lived on the east coast for over 20 years and forgot all about them, thank y'all for reminding me lol.

Ok but for joe's signature taco, he should dip it in the chipotle sauce they have at taco bell cause that slapss

The fact that you only get nine items in Japan for $45 and you get 12 tacos in the US for only $22 just wow 😳

I've never wanted Taco Bell more than after watching this Food Wars 🤤🤤

George’s reaction to the BVO= 😂😂

I plan on traveling outside the US once I get my degree (specifically Japan, college has an English-teaching program there), and while I'll have to get used to the smaller portion sizes, one thing that I'm looking forward to is that absolutely everything just seems to be healthier outside the US, even if it's only to a minor degree. Even meal-type junk food in Japan seems to be much healthier than the kinds of things you get in the US. I honestly expect that I might lose a small amount of weight while I'm there simply because of the changes in ingredients. (Obviously, I'm not comparing something like JP Taco Bell with US Taco Bell, more like food in general)

"Pink lemonade often gets its pink color from red dye, cranberry juice, grenadine, or strawberries."

Taco Bell in US used to have the cheesy core burrito and the chikstar

Taco Bell cinabon delights are amazing!

Pink lemonade sometimes is a combination of lemonade and a strawberry or raspberry drink.

Joe is hilariously sarcastic and I am living for it!!! 🤣🤣🤣

I think to make this comparison fair, you also need to do some episodes with Japanese fast food chains in the US!

He did not just say “Taco Johns”😭

Istg Joe has me crying lmao his signature taco 💀🤣

Do 711 next

Wow you guys found some open taco bells. The ones were I'm at the employee's keep walking out.

Happy thanksgiving joe

I remember visiting Taco Bell when it opened in Japan. Or rather, my partner and I visited our friends who were in the giant queue and asked them if they could locate any vegetarian food items. Apparently "only foreign Taco Bells have beans" so the only veggie option at the time was some nachos.

Joes reaction to the Cinnabon delights is how I react EVERY SINGLE TIME I have them. They’re amaze-balls And yes the breakfast crunchwraps are also a favorite 🤤

Joe’s reaction to trying cinnabon delights was exactly the same as when I first tried it

In Singapore, GST refers to our 7% service tax on almost everything. That was the only thing in my head as i watched george make his taco. But it looks great:))

Homeboy George could've used a broken taco shell to scoop the meat onto an unbroken hard shell taco lol

Somebody needs to start a petition to have Joe play Rick in a live action Rick and Morty show/ movie

I love the way George says “sauce!” 😂😍

Now I am convinced that Japanese people are mostly skinny because of their damn small portion on every Fast Food stall

Taco Bell is almost as old as my Dad.

1:15 I thought it was a mistake at first but 3/8 actually =.38 lmao

The Taco Bell I went to in Tokyo had melon soda that was AMAZING!

When Joe said Taco John's he brought a tear to my eye we don't have one down here in Florida I used to live in Tennessee and I was there at least three times a week it made me happy but got me mad at the same time now that's all I'm thinking about OMG

Anybody else wanna give George a hug and take him into ur family?

Having worked at the Bell for a while, I can provide some insight. If you're bored, give it a read: The Gordita Crunch also has a sauce on it which wasn't mentioned, the Spicy Ranch sauce. 5 layer burritos have a soft taco shell inside them. Chipotle Sauce is objectively the best sauce because I say so. Many items are cycled through various Taco Bells to help keep the menu feeling fresh (ie. Recent items cycled through in the past through years at US Taco Bell locations include the [not Japan exclusive] Naked Chicken Chalupa and Seasoned Fries). While Japan may offer one or more products now, they may not for long, or the US may add them to their stores temporarily. Generally you could've requested the Gordita Crunch be made with a Dorito Taco shell even before it became an independent menu item. Those shells are pretty delicate, so it wasn't a huge deal when a few customers per week wanted to change it up a bit. Ask to swap the Jalapeño Ranch sauce on your quesadillas with Chipotle sauce. The portioning utensils are standardized, so the differences in weight/size are purely due to whomever prepared your order and the circumstances they were in at that time as a store (busy v not busy, super late v super early, new team members versus the seasoned vets) rather than the location's country. While not up to company standards, it was something that happened with newer team members which gets better as they get more shifts under their belts. Order me some Chicken Chipotle Melts please. The kiosks were added to help free up some labor, but they also encourage customization. Honestly I loved that addition, and the (wonderfully run to this day) store I worked at was a testing location for them. Speaking of the store I worked in, it was a Cantina location. We served beer and alcoholic slushies. Yes... alcohol served at a Taco Bell. Chipotle Sauce goes well on everything except Cinnabon Delights. When the fries were available in our store, we had a guy who pretty much every shift I worked around 6pm would order about 9 cups of fries (sometimes more, sometimes less, usually 9) over either DoorDash or Uber. I started putting smiley faces on his bags as a small token of recognition. I'd also deep fry a batch minutes before 6 in preparation since they were so timely about it. It helped us get him a fresh batch without delaying other orders (fries took relatively long in the deep fryer). You can probably make, or at least simulate, most "exclusive" or discontinued items since locations operate off of similar basic ingredients. I'll miss you, pico. Try ordering a beer at a Cantina and watch how they fill the cups, you'll thank me later for the wizardry. I know, that last one wasn't about the Chipotle sauce. There's no special message, I just like pretty much everything with it. This is half me talking about random things Taco Bell related, and half me just saying I need the sauce in my life. Taco Bell, if you're listening, I know it's been over a year, but we left on good terms. Please keep the Chipotle Chicken Melt on your menu.

I like how they put a sharingan in the iluminati eye 2:15

They had a biscuit taco that was absolutely amazing! I think it was labor intensive or something because it was usually out even when they did have it. I'm missing it so much right now.

george is in love with taco bell foods

One Universal fact, you cannot eat Taco Bell it in your car without getting something in your lap. I always find it hilarious that Taco Bell thought it would be a good idea to try and open in Mexico...🌮👀

Wonder if there's a chain exclusive to only Japan AND the UK.... 🤔

taco bell is somewhat new to japan, its only been recently opened since the first chain closures in the 80's. the re introduction was opened in 2015. i like the DIY taco option, but im surprised that they didn't have a fish taco option as its japan and they eat fish daily in a lot of regions. also pink lemonade is usually dye....if you dont want dye, a bit of cranberry or watermelon juice will turn it pink as well.

In Thailand Taco Bell, we have cinnamon twist as dessert and California bowl which is veggie, grilled chicken, ranch, salsa, rice, guacamole, and sour cream. We also have so many side dips

“I wanna try a chocodilla… that’s all I can say” 😂😂 12:00

My crib, the US, forgot my Chicken Power Bowl. C'mon on US Taco Bell.

tacobells pink lemonade is the best lemonade

Joes taco needs a cilantro lime crema as a dipping sauce

Shout out to Potato Oles. Great pick to put on you Signature taco. TJs has many menu items loaded up with 'em

George is the best exemple of ''An anime character doesn't translate well into live action'' that i've ever seen.

GST- goods services tax lol

I am here for George.

I'm from NM and I went to taco Johns as a 12 year old and scoffed at their salsas lmao

YES THEY USED TO HAVE A WAFFLE TACO!

Sorry but John u just bugged me do bad😂 bro every taco Bell puts sour cream on there tacos u demon!!

I cackled at "urine pantone color"

When he casually said “with crystal meth” it took a sec to hit me and I laughed so hard lmao

How did you miss the classic cinnamon twists?!

George I felt your sadness 🥲

I love watching these videos 😆

So I'm from the u.s., and I knew taco bell was more expensive in expensive cities, but where are you living where your party packs are $22? Are your five dollar boxes nine dollar boxes?

There are no Taco Bells in Mexico, Joe

I LOVE these 2!! Their expressions and descriptions...I love it..my new fave series!!

We had naked chicken taco in the US for a short time didn't do so well

Ima just say this as a Tacobell worker like it depends how quick and if we actually portion right sometimes a bean burrito gets the bigger green scoop sometimes it gets a red scoop the smaller one and occasionally we can just wrap it long sometimes wrap it small the measuring at the beginning is very iffy

Nachos with toppings on the side, yes please.

I just watched the subway one

I want to see George with his hair back man bun style

George takes a humbler approach to this and I’m here for it 🥰

If there is one thing I learned is that Japan loves crispy chicken

Our Taco Bell desserts here in Canada are Cinnamon Twists, Caramel Apple Empanada, churros, and Cinnabon Delights.

he’s got a point, what makes pink lemonade different from lemonade?

- it was the “ congrats & I’m sorry “ for me cause Taco Bell will do it to you , every-time 🤣🤣😩

Here we call it Taco Hell….you’re about to find out why!!

Your taco party pack is expensive. It's only $15.99 in my area.
