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.

[–] morphballganon@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

My location replaced the double decker with some other double bullshit with nacho cheese and those dumb crispy tortilla strips

[–] pineapplelover@lemm.ee 1 points 9 months ago

The $5 box if they have it. Maybe in the app or online.

That the toilet facilities are up to (your) standard.

I tried it for the first time at 38? It isn't great but certainly a way to get a calorie bomb into you relatively cheaply. Arguably better than some fast food alternatives which is a low bar. IIRC I was a fan of the crunch wrap but the straight basic burritos are a way better value.

Pretty much any other food outlet, that way you'll not be disappointed. I've no idea about your country but Taco Bell in the UK is expensive and poor quality.

a better restaurant would be the best thing to try first.

[–] CaptainSpaceman@lemmy.world 0 points 9 months ago (8 children)

A time machine.

Go back 5 years when everything still tasted good. Cuz idk what they did since pandemic hit, adding grasshoppers to the beef or something, but its not good anymore. Its weird-meh.

Make sure you have plenty of toilet paper.

The Exit, and the Food.

j/k (...except not that:-P)

You can try to find a Chipotle instead, and get one of their delicious burritos?

Taco Smell is best-known for being (a) cheap, and uh... oh also, (b) leading the world in how little meat processed byproduct they can put into something and still call it "beef" (I think the answer is 0% now, but when it started it was like 1/3rd iirc).

You know your digestive tract better than anyone, but I would suggest some kind of a variety pack. Like all Mexican-inspired cardboard food products (Mexico would legit and rightly go to war with anyone daring to call that Mexican food btw:-P), aside from the more special and unique items, it's mostly the same ingredients inside (with varying spices added) but what makes it present different is the crunch factor, which really does impact the experience.

Seriously though, if it were me I would go earlier in the day, b/c putting that stuff into your gut late in the day for anyone over 20 sometimes does not sit well. Though it is... tasty, and you will enjoy trying something different:-P (but no lie, better for lunch than dinner).

Have fun with it!

Chipotle is ass. Easily the worst of the burrito shops that I've been to. Honestly can't think of a worse option.

[–] OpenStars@startrek.website 1 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Meh, but the comparison here is vs. Taco Bell, so keep that in mind. Both are fast food but one is real food and the other is "cellulose fibers" that I'm not sure anyone truly knows what that means:-P. Delicious but... an abomination of science nonetheless.

Also, Chipotle is best when it is fresh, so at a slow shop during an off-time, yeah. I've never found that it matters for Taco Bell though.
