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.
a better restaurant would be the best thing to try first.
crunchwarp supreme, double decker taco, and the dorritis shell tako
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.
Bruh.
It’s probably that your sense of taste has changed, not their ingredients.
You may have long covid.
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.
Source?
So what is in Taco Bell’s seasoned ground beef? Here’s the full list of ingredients straight from the company’s site:
Beef, Water, Seasoning [Isolated Oat Product, Salt, Chili Pepper, Onion Powder, Tomato Powder, Oats (Wheat), Soy Lecithin, Sugar, Spices, Maltodextrin, Soybean Oil (Anti-dusting Agent), Garlic Powder, Autolyzed Yeast Extract, Citric Acid, Caramel Color, Cocoa Powder (Processed With Alkali), Silicon Dioxide, Natural Flavors, Yeast, Modified Corn Starch, Natural Smoke Flavor], Salt, Sodium Phosphates. CONTAINS SOYBEANS, WHEATSilicon dioxide is a major component of sand, and they do not make any bones about including that in their meat, but because of some weirdo suing them saying that it was only 35% beef versus 88% beef I cannot find the link where the FDA was prosecuting them for having too much silicon dioxide in their meat.
Silicon dioxide is a common anti-caking agent. It’s used in many foods and is generally harmless when ingested. Inhaling it can be a problem, but that’s more of a concern on the production end, not for the consumer.
Unless you have evidence that they get their silicon dioxide from sand, it is premature to declare they put sand in their food.
Water is commonly found in glacier ice. Do you accuse people who serve water as serving glacier ice?
I can recommend the Chalupa and Crunch Wrap Supreme
Cyanide. It’ll save you a lot of trouble.
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.
Is the hot sauces the secret to getting the shits??
I’m pretty sure going to Taco Bell is the secret to getting the shits.
can’t wait till they open here 🌋
Tacos
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 need to build up tolerance first. Go slow with a simple taco, otherwise you digestion gonna do civil war.
@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.
What did you get and how was it?
Tried the chicken chalupa and fries. Not bad.
I recommend Charmin Ultra Strong.
A Seven-layer Steak Burrito & a beef meximelt… about 12 years ago…
The chicken chalupa is pretty good.
Baja Blast with whatever you get. Its the best god damn thing about taco bell and im STILL FUCKING PISSED IT LOST THAT ELECTION TO BE YEAR ROUND IN STORS LIKE 7 YEARS 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.
