Chihuahua Actor Eats Taco Bell, Survives Food Scare
14 Jul
Summary
- Voice actor for Taco Bell Chihuahua ate there without issue.
- Lettuce was the main suspect in the foodborne illness outbreak.
- Over 30 states were affected by the recent gastrointestinal illness.

Carlos Alazraqui, the original voice actor for the Taco Bell Chihuahua, has stated he ate at the restaurant recently and did not fall ill. Alazraqui consumed a Crunchy Beef Burrito with nacho fries and two tacos, which contained lettuce, a key suspect in the ongoing foodborne illness outbreak. He humorously remarked that he might have received special treatment due to his iconic role.
While Alazraqui personally experienced no adverse effects, he conveyed a message of caution for consumers. The fast-food chain is currently under investigation for its potential connection to the outbreak that has affected over 30 states. It's noted that not everyone falling sick had eaten at Taco Bell. The famous 'Yo quiero Taco Bell' Chihuahua was retired from marketing campaigns in 2000 due to controversy.
Alazraqui's experience suggests individual results may vary regarding the Taco Bell food scare. His advice, 'Proceed with caution,' serves as a reminder to diners amid the ongoing investigation into the illnesses.
