A Current Taco Bell Employee Just Dished Out 7 Secrets You Need to Know

Taco Bell will always be our ultimate cure for on-the-go burrito hankerings. But there's no denying that we're supercurious what actually goes on behind the counter, even if the truth may make us lose our appetite a bit. We already learned a few juicy secrets about the hangover-solving establishment (see: is the cheese actually real?), and now we have a handful of more intriguing details to add to our list. A current Taco Bell employee recently started a Reddit AMA ("Ask Me Anything") conversation to answer other users' pressing questions about the restaurant. Below, we've outlined the most interesting topics discussed in the thread for all you diehard Taco Bell advocates out there.

If you've ordered Taco Bell's Spicy Potato Soft Taco recently, chances are you noticed a bold and creamy orange sauce drizzled on top. That's the Chipotle sauce, "the best sauce" at the restaurant, according to the employee, who also admitted to putting it on everything. We just found our new favorite taco add-on!

When one Reddit user asked about the "best customer ever," the current Taco Bell employee broke down the three things that define a great customer: "Anyone who places a simple order, is polite, and appreciative for us busting ass to serve up their food," the employee wrote.

When the employee admitted that Taco Bell's crave-worthy verde sauce will not be making a comeback, another Reddit user chimed in with some vital intel: bottled versions are actually sold in a few grocery stores like Walmart, and it's totally the real deal. "Unlike the other bottled TB sauces, it actually tastes exactly like what comes in the packs," the user explained. Consider your cravings satisfied!

Someone couldn't resist asking the question that has definitely crossed our minds plenty of times: what's the deal with the beef? It apparently "comes frozen in bags," the employee said. "We let it sit in hot water for a while then cut em open and serve it up."

If you've ever wondered what Taco Bell employees themselves actually eat, wonder no more! This Taco Bell employee broke down a typical order: "Normally, a steak Quesarito, add potatoes and extra chipotle sauce. But I've been loving the Double Chalupas while they're still around," the employee wrote.

When one concerned customer asked about a Taco Bell beverage, the raspberry-flavored tea, the employee wasn't sure why it disappeared in the first place. "Can't say, it was gone before I started working at my location. We still have the mango tea but it's not that great," the employee explained. Rest in peace, berry tea; it was fun while you lasted.

"black bean burrito," the employee admitted. "They just look gross. Never tried one, but every time I make one they look nasty." Hmm, maybe it could have to do with the fact that the beans "come in bags and look like wood chips, then you just add water and they turn to mush." Not exactly the most appetizing mental picture.
