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?

True Mexican food from an actual restaurant. For your health.
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.
Not sure why so many people are proud to have beaten their gut into submission with years of abuse.
Mexican food is good, I would say that Spanish food I’m more used to is still playing catchup!
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!”
Mexicans love Taco Bell though. (Am half Mexican) And it’s probably the healthiest of the fast foods. Plus, OP asked about what to eat at Taco Bell, so your reply isn’t helpful
The haters can claw my baja blast and my cantina chicken quesadillas from my cold, dead hands.
Vghh
how is it possible that chicken can get 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.
Gbvb
Uh huh, and definitely 100% normal for half the thread to be smugly judging OP for enjoying it.
Pov: caffine dependence
Grilled cheese burrito with steak.
Fuck the nay-sayers in this thread. They’re just miserable/have IBS
Those grilled cheese burritos slap. I remember when I first got one, it was larger than I expected but it was so good. Can’t go wrong with steak.
When it first came out it had double steak, when it became a permanent item it was made smaller.
ndjf
So many people shaming OP in here 😅
They never said they eat it all the time. Calm down everyone; let them enjoy themselves.
Cheesy gordita crunch
with the nacho cheese shell inside
I…I didn’t know you could request that…omg
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.
Mmm MSG fries
(Don’t get me wrong I like them too but let’s be honest here, they almost have as much MSG as KFC fries)
What is wrong with MSG? Seriously.
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 black bean crunchwrap supreme can be made vegan if you order it fresco!
if you order it fresco
what does this mean
Without cheese or sour cream, just fresh tomato.
Outdoors
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
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.
Crunchwrap Supreme and drench it in Diablo Sauce with every bite!
Its my go to order!
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.
Exit the taco bell and go to a nice resurant you’ll pay the same anyway
Exactly. Read the OP’s question in the title and immediately thought the answer is “Literally any other restaurant.”
A bidet
Hey! This guy doesn’t know about the three seashells!
How dare someone downvote you for this
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!
