- If you are ordering something that is vegetarian (such as a bean burrito or potato taco) and it has cheese on it, just order it "fresco." When you tell them you want it "fresco" style then it automatically removes the cheese and replaces it with pico de gallo. It's a simple, but tasty switch that is easy and free. According to Taco Bell: "Almost any menu item can be customized “Fresco style”, which replaces mayo-based sauces, cheeses, reduced-fat sour cream and guacamole on almost any menu item with freshly-prepared pico de gallo."
