They also had a beefy tostada supreme...what a facefull that was. Many napkins...but oh so good.

When this was out, it was the only thing I ordered from the Bell. I had forgotten about it.

You can add beef to the regular bean tostada now.

They are not the same--I specifically worked at Taco Bell in that era, and we would have a fryer at a frying work station preparing the shells for tacos, tostadas fresh! Now I think that they pre-cooked and because they sure taste nasty. Also, there were TACO LIghts which were so delicious with a fried Flour tortilla shell--it came with delicious tasting ground beef topped with sour cream lettuce, tomato and cheese. Oh, and we can't forget the enchirito which was similar to an enchilada --oh it was delicious. They were the bomb--TACO BELL where have your special tastes gone.

I used to work at taco bell back in the late 80's. They used to shread their own cheese and it was AWESOME! Now it sucks! They buy it pre shreaded....yuck!

The Beefy Tostada was the best menu item ever! And I've been going to Taco Bell for over 40 years. Please Taco Bell - bring back the Beefy Tostada! And I agree with Claudette, the Enchirito was also great!

yes yes claudette what happen to that taco light? not for diet or health either ummm they were the best taco they ever had!!!!!!

Yea, and their lettuce must be bagged like so many other places. I don't know about you, but I can taste that nasty plastic-bag weird lettuce taste. Companies cheapen so much and sacrifice flavor in the process. RIP good fast food.

I also worked at Taco Bell in the early 80's and everything was prepared on premisis from grating the cheese and shredding the lettuce to pressure cooking pinto beans to make the refried beans and frying the taco/tostada shells. The Beefy Tostada was definitely one of my faves. Oh, and who else remembers the Green Sauce that was available?
