Taco Bell Is Experiencing Tortilla Shortage and Foodies Are Freaking Out: 'What Is the World Coming to?'
This is a 911 emergency, Taco Bell fans!
Taco Bell is dealing with a shortage of tortillas, meaning that there may be a limited number of their ever-delicious Supreme Tacos at numerous locations across the country. Yeah, this isn’t good.
In a statement, a rep for Taco Bell tells PEOPLE that the fast-food chain is working hard to ensure their restaurants would be fully stocked with plenty of tortillas.
“While some Taco Bell restaurants are experiencing supplier shortages, we are working diligently to replenish the supply of our tortillas (used for products like quesadillas and burritos) in those restaurants and encourage fans to try any of our other delicious menu items like the Power Menu Bowl or Cheesy Gordita Crunch in the meantime,” Taco Bell’s statement reads. “We apologize for any inconvenience this might cause and appreciate our customers’ patience.”
Several Taco Bells in Tennessee Valley were among the first to report no longer having tortillas. A location in Huntsville even said that they were waiting on their supplier truck to deliver more tortillas.
