A Taco Bell finally opened up where I liv, 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.

    Taco bells menu is like 10 different ingredients combined in various ways, it nearly all tastes identical with the exception of the various protein options (I suggest vegetarian).

      Yes! Taco Bell is the go-to fast food restaurant for vegetarians. I suggest the black bean chalupa supreme, veggie mexican pizza, and cheesy fiesta potatoes. Unfortunately, that meal and a beverage will probably cost about $17 usd these days

    You’ve got some people saying you gotta slather it in the hot sauces, and other people saying to get ready to have the shits.

    Uh, you can avoid the shits by not using the hot sauces.

    You need to build up tolerance first. Go slow with a simple taco, otherwise you digestion gonna do civil war.

    Soft shell tacos. Easy and does great with any of the sauces. I usually do two fire sauce and one diablo per taco.

    @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.

    All I get at Taco Bell any more is the steak power bowl and the cheese potatoes. The bowl is basically just a deconstructed burrito and the cheesy potatoes are cubed, fried potatoes covered in nacho cheese and sour cream.

    Their French fries are also hella good; they’re like their own kind of cheese dust covered fry. But the cheese potatoes are just better
