I’ve moved back to my country of birth and Taco Bell seems to be a thing here now.

I’ve tried the quesadillas and the crunch supreme and it’s been life changing.

What else should I be trying?

      When I visit the US I do this exclusively from family-owned restaurants, hence why I’ve never tried Taco Bell.

      But very few exist here, and none within delivery distance from me.

      That’s a completely different genre of food. That’s like someone saying “I like ring pops” and telling them “you should get an actual diamond ring, much higher quality”.

        Maybe not the best parallel but a good point nonetheless.

        A more apt comparison might be:

        “What’s the best all-beef hot dog I can buy at my local supermarket?

        “Ugh! OMG! Don’t do that to yourself! Why would you even want to bother with eating beef if that’s the shit you’re going to put in your body?! Just get some Japanese A5 Wagyu ribeye and thank me later!

      If you’re still eating from there, then it shouldn’t be long now.

      I joke, but not really. You have to ask yourself, how is it possible that a little chicken, lettuce tomatoes with some sauce on a “tortillas” can make so many people sick.

        Huh? Poultry is in the news for illness reasons all the time, lettuce comes up often too. Not saying it isn’t for scummy corner cutting reasons, but don’t act like taco bell is somehow the first chain to give someone food poisoning.

    If you eat meat, the breakfast crunch wrap supreme is made by angels.

    If Taco Bell ever releases a Breakfast crunch wrap supreme with impossible sausage, I will eat it 5 days a week and balloon to 400 pounds.

    when they are available, the nacho fries are incredible also.

          Nothing in the right quantity, I use it in my own cooking when I need more umami in a dish.

          There are old studies out there that said it was a problem ingredient (hence “no MSG labels all over different foods), but those have been largely debunked due to racial bias.

          In excess, the MSG flavor tends to linger, which can be annoying sometimes.

    The crunchwrap supreme and burrito supreme I think encompasses the whole menu of flavor from Taco Bell.

    But for me, who remembers multiple tacos for 99 cents from Taco Bell: their basic and unmodified tacos with hot sauce is the only thing I need from Taco Bell.

    Chalupas (I think these are basically the same as their gorditas but with a fried shell)

    And honestly their regular, basic beef soft tacos are pretty good, especially with some fire sauce (or whatever your preferred level of spice is).

    Try everything. Why the hell not? Cheesy Gordita Crunch, Crunchwrap, and Cheesy Bean and Rice Burrrito are the best. Baja Blast is the real deal.

    Also, here comes the baby boomer diarrhea jokes. Every time Taco Bell is mentioned, it’s the same joke. I don’t even think it’s NOT that funny, but it’s just the same joke over and over.
