Looks like a rebranding. I've seen (and used) their Taco Kits, but the sauces now? Yum! Too bad I just went two days eating tacos, I'd go grab some.

Bottles of Arby Sauce next please!

Arby Sauce tastes weird on anything that's not Arby's beef.

Edit - And no the kits don't taste the same as the stuff in the store. Where is my cheesy gordita crunch kit??
 
The stuff you've seen for years at the grocery store have been branded "Taco Bell Home Originals." This looks to be closer to or exactly the same as what they have in the restaurant.

Q: Are some of the products such as some of the sauces or the taco seasoning exactly the same as you'd find in Taco Bell restaurants? If not, what are some of the difficulties/challenges in getting it pretty close to the original? And what are the reasons they're not the same?

A: We work to match the QSR formulas as best we can. Some products are the exact same formula, some are slightly different. Any differences are driven by shelf life requirements, shipping requirements, packaging forms, or how consumers interact with the product at home.

I followed up by asking if any of the products were exactly as you'd find at a Taco Bell restaurant and was told the taco shells and restaurants sauces are the same.

The mild sauce is the best thing Taco bell has. Will get and like someone else said now you can make your own taco bell tacos, and put real meat in them.

Blinded by the luminous glory that is David Bowie's physical manifestation.
so if I use all these products to make a taco and it doesnt taste EXACTLY like taco bell....... canisuethem..?

No, because as that small bit in the OP says: Shelf Life/etc. is why this may/may not be 1:1 for you at times.
 
I'm pretty sure Taco Bell already had their sauce in a bottle but just the standard mild sauce. Nice to see the full line get coverage.

i've been begging for over 5 years.
Already have a bottle of fire sauce in my fridge right now. Sadly it doesn't taste much like actual fire sauce. Maybe that's because I put it on homemade nachos and it needs taco bell seasoned meat to really bring out the right flavor, dunno.

And yes this has been out here quite a while. This is my second or third bottle of the stuff.

edit: OMG, if I can buy baja blast by the 12 pack I'm going to die, quickly.
 
Their sauce isn't noteworthy but I'd still consider buying it due to all the times I've ordered Taco Bell, asked for sauce, gone home and realized they didn't give me any.

Are chocolate tacos and cinnamon nachos really a thing? Ewww... but strangely I kinda want them at the same time.

Misread the subject, thought they were putting the cheese from Kraft Dinners into squeeze bottles.

Disappointed.

I've had mild and fire and while they are close to what you get at a real taco bell, they taste just a little ....off.

The double decker kit they make is awesome though, but it has been around forever.

Goodbye drawer of Taco Bell hot sauce packets!
Still the way to go, IMO.
