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?

    Try obtaining a Time Machine so that you can experience the menu from when it was good.

    The Grilled Stuft Burrito, Grilled Stuft Nacho, the volcano burrito and lava sauce, the 1/2 lb cheesy potato burrito, the enchirito, the loaded grillers, the double layer taco, the chilito.

    So many good menu items lost to time

    Grilled cheese burrito with steak.

    probably goes without saying, but Doritos locos tacos. if you really want to violate your senses you can order a cheesy gordita crunch with a Doritos locos shell

    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.

    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).

      Fucking chalupas. I’ve tried to recreate the dough at home but they come out far more like actual bread than the pancake like texture they have.

      Exactly. Read the OP’s question in the title and immediately thought the answer is “Literally any other restaurant.”

    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.

    The quesadillas. Again. And again.

    I can’t stop eating them. I prefer their quesadillas over authentic ones tbh. It’s the sauce! And the baja blast!

    Their veg options are some of the better ones in fast food if they haven’t jacked up their prices around you. Potato taco, cheese quesadilla, bean and rice burrito are all good enough options for fast food

      You can swap out meat for beans on any of their items. Taco bell is the best fast food option for vegetarian folks
