Taco Bell Dream Come True

Tonight, a dream come true.

After all of your great suggestions on what to get at Taco Bell, we had a very difficult time deciding.

It started with a search on Taco Bell.com, where we quickly realize there are more options than probably necessary. My wife made her choices and I used your comments to narrow my options down and concluded on a Mexican pizza and the new Volcano Taco.

On my wife's commands I was sent to the drive thru with my friend, and fellow blogger Adam to get all of our food. (see the video below for full drive thru banter).

The drive thru experience was fine, however the window was severely disproportionate to the rest of the building. It was easily an entire foot above my car window, so much that I could barely see the face of the Taco Bell employee handing me my food. I had to reach up to grab it.

Once we got home we laid it all out on the counter to get a good look at what we were about to conquer. I started with the Mexican pizza, which had slid a bit in the box and was now just a Mexican mush in a cardboard box - all things considered, it still tasted pretty good (minus the fake refried beans).

The biggest item for debate was the Volcano Taco with the tempting red colored shell that screams, "I'm on FIRE." But really is just a good old fashion, Taco Bell shell which just happens to be red. I was a little disappointed as I expected the shell, sauce and meat to turn my mouth into a blazing inferno.

Sure the sauce was hot, but don't be fooled. The only difference between this taco and any other taco at Taco Bell is a new sauce - which contrary to the name, isn't as hot as a volcano. My favorite menu item by far is the Crunchwrap Supreme

Bottom line is this, Taco Bell has a lot of great options if you're on a budget. It's not quality, it's horrible for you, the service is decent at best and as a restaurant they basically are the opposite of everything I believe in - but - their food tastes good.
