A Taco Bell finally opened up where I live, and we are going to go try it tonight. What should I try and what should I avoid?
Of course I know I should try another restaurant and avoid Taco Bell, that’s too obvious, but what is life without a little Adventure.
@lazylion_ca it’s a fast food version of Mexican.
I like crunchy tacos with one packet of hot sauce per taco. Crunchy taco supreme is good. Burrito Supreme is good, too.
Sauce is very important, though. You have to have it. Start with the hot sauce (orange packets), and work your way up if you need to. They used to have green sauce that was pretty good, but it’s only available in grocery stores now. 🙄
For a drink, you need to try a Baja Blast. It’s like their signature thing. Very sweet, has its own flavor you can’t really describe.
Just keep in mind that it’s fast food. It’s not casual fast like Chipotle or Panera - - more Macdonald’s or Wendy’s.
One thing Taco Bell has had over a lot of fast food places for a long time is that vegetarians and vegans can actually get edible meals there. It’s basically all of the same ingredients, just mixed around differently.
They also have bowls you can get. They’re not terrible. I prefer my old standard menu items that haven’t changed in 40 years, though.
The other thing that just occurred to me - - most of us in the thread responding to you are suggesting their old timey comfort favorites. I’m no different (54 years old and had my first Taco Bell when I was 9), so at 50, your palate may not understand or have the associations with this place that ours do.
I’m really curious what you’re going to think about it, though. I think most people going in with realistic expectations don’t wind up hating it, though.
That the toilet facilities are up to (your) standard.
I can recommend the Chalupa and Crunch Wrap Supreme
I came, I sat, I ate.
Followup question, is your anus ok or on fire?
Cheesy Gordita Crunch and Crunchwrap Supreme.
I’m also a fan of the Beefy Five-Layer Burrito positively smothered in Fire sauce.
Cheesey Gordita Crunch with the Doritos Locos taco inside!
I’m also a fan of the Beefy Five-Layer Burrito positively smothered in Fire sauce.
I don’t know if it’s everywhere, but the Diablo sauce has a better flavor in my opinion. I am a sucker for the Beefy Five-Layer Burrito though.
5-layer, sub beef for potatoes. So good.
I haven’t been able to find Diablo sauce in the past few years.
Maybe it’s a regional thing? The one closest to me has had it for as long as I can remember. Was actually just there on Tuesday and got some.
Cheesy Gordita Crunch is the correct answer, but probably best to also try basic items just for comparison.
I remember the dark days when the Cheesy Gordita Crunch was a limited time offer and it kept going away and coming back. I would always go A LOT when it showed back up. So glad it seems to be a stable staple now.
Oh! And fwiw - they actually sell the Fiesta sauce in some grocery stores now… that is one of the key ingredients that makes it so good. That sauce goes well on/in so many things.
Yesssssss thissss!!!
All the people who are clearly getting food poisoning from their local Taco Bells should really report them.
It’s not normal to get diarrhea from eating out, even at Taco Bell.

Soft shell tacos. Easy and does great with any of the sauces. I usually do two fire sauce and one diablo per taco.
Hmmmm, I have also never had taco bell, let me know how it is.
It was fast food, in tacos, with fries.
Was it any good? Or just kinda meh.
It was ok.
OK, well thank you for letting me know. I probably won’t seek it out, but I probably won’t avoid it either.

You didn’t mention the peak of Taco Bell food, the crunch wrap supreme! The breakfast crunch wrap is also very good for what it is.
Dude, what the hell. I feel sorry for your anus and I didn’t even read what you said.
Bruh lmao
An amazing comment! Thanks!
It’s disgusting, but in a good way.
Accurate
Pretty sure fiesta strips are just tortilla strips?
OP, listen to this man, he knows his Taco Bell.

This is the best, most comprehensive review on Taco Bell this planet has ever seen.
You should do a food critic video series.

LOL, OP could not have found a better answer.

I’ve been getting the same three things at Taco Bell for the last 30 years. This has inspired me to branch out.
Taco Bell doesn’t deserve the hate it gets
I knew a health inspector. He commented that guaranteed the cleanest restaurant kitchen in every town was a taco bell. Apparently they aggressively train employees and managers to clean way more than other restaurants.
I have never eaten at taco bell before but now I feel like I have. Thank you for this high effort as fuck post.
Tacos
Beef chalupa
My boyfriend is a Taco Bell fanatic. I asked him and he told me “a grilled cheese burrito, a crunchwrap supreme, and nacho fries if they have them”. Enjoy!
Appreciate the recommendation.
