Taco Bell is launching a new feature that allows customers of the ride-sharing app Lyft to make a pit stop at Taco Bell on their way home, and perhaps needless to say, Lyft drivers aren't happy.

After all, who really wants their car to smell like a Doritos Locos Taco?

"Taco Mode," which is an in-app option that allows Lyft customers to add a Taco Bell drive-thru run to their trip between 9 p.m. and 2 a.m., will be tested in Orange County, Calif., from July 27 to 29 and August 3 to 5. The companies plan to expand the service across the U.S. in 2018, according to a press release.

Lyft notes that the partnership with Taco Bell makes it easier for riders to request a drive-thru stop, which many were already doing.

"We realized that for every person who has asked their Lyft driver to make a pit stop at Taco Bell — and we've seen many — there are likely those who weren't sure if this was possible," Taco Bell CMO Marisa Thalberg said in a statement. "With the advent of this fantastic partnership with Lyft, we will erase any lingering uncertainty and celebrate the ability to 'ride-thru' in Taco Mode."

On Tuesday, Lyft tweeted about the new Taco Bell partnership, but not everyone was on board.

"In the mode for tacos? Lyft and @ tacobell are bringing you the first-ever ride-thru experience with Taco Mode," Lyft tweeted.

"Hell no! I don't want people eating messy tacos in my car," @OakAthleticsGrl tweeted in response.

Stopping to clean my car at busiest time of night? Smelling like Taco Bell and lengthening rides with drunk passengers? WTF WTF WTF — Eric Larson (@EricLarsonOrg) July 25, 2017

Many drivers asked Lyft whether they would be negatively rated if they chose not to participate in Taco Mode.

If my car smells like tacos and I get lower ratings, you will review these ratings, right? How about compensate me for the mess pax make? — Kent (@dukarc) July 25, 2017

So when a passenger asks to go to Taco Bell and the driver refuses will the pax have the option to ding the hell out of the driver's rating? — Tim Blackwell (@TRRBlackwell) July 25, 2017

Lyft said drivers will be able to opt-in or choose not to participate when Taco Mode rolls out to their market.
