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.

I'm partial to the beefy 5 layer burrito and the cheesy bean and rice burrito.

If they have it (not all locations do), the chili cheese burrito.

Get quantity over quality (many small tacos)

I did consider getting the party pack, but I wasn’t ten taco hungry tonight.

[-] Bonesince1997@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

😄 Hope you enjoyed what you got!

You should avoid Taco Bell...

Try to prepare for disappointment. I was never a huge fan, but would have it occasionally. Had it for the first time in a decade or so a few years ago and didn't enjoy any part of the meal (various different stuff at an office party) :P

If you enjoy it, that's wonderful; it's just never really been a thing I look forward to, and I hope you don't have too good an image in your head.

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.

I hope you have some Charmin ultra soft ready to go for tomorrow morning

[-] SexyTimeSasquatch@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Make sure you have plenty of toilet paper.

[-] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

They had to invent the three seashells.

Existing wiping technology became inadequate after every restaurant became taco bell.

Cyanide. It'll save you a lot of trouble.

[-] mdurell@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I recommend Charmin Ultra Strong.

[-] CaptainSpaceman@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] morphballganon@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Bruh.

It's probably that your sense of taste has changed, not their ingredients.

You may have long covid.

[-] Bizarroland@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Nah, there is a lot more grit in the meat. The texture changed for the worse.

Remember that in like 2020 or so Taco Bell got sued by the FDA for putting too much sand in their meat.

[-] Varyk@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago

Dorito locos tacos, or DLT as the workers summarize for me but I am too embarrassed to use myself

[-] Daveofthenorth@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

Steak grilled cheese burrito

[-] TigrisMorte@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

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

Crunch wrap & fries supreme (🇨🇦)

The fries supreme are just a shadow of their former self though, 20 years ago they were the best fast food item you could get

[-] morphballganon@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

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.

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

[-] lazylion_ca@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

Ive definitely had way worse fries.

[-] morganth@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 year ago

Honestly? Just their basic tacos. Maybe the Doritos version if they still have those. But just get a couple of the hard tacos with some Fire sauce. If you like those, you may like other things on the menu; if you don’t, you probably won’t like any of it. They’re Taco Bell distilled.
