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.

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

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