“Good service. Great food!“

“Does anyone remember the Taco Bell dog?

After a very expensive weekend out last week I wanted to just go inexpensive and quick this Friday, and hey it's been 3+ years since I was last at a Taco Bell so I felt it was time to finally come back and see what's up.

What is up are the Cheesy Street Chalupas, Nacho Fries, Cinnabon Delights, Nacho Shell Crunchy Gordita, Limonada Freeze, and Cinnamon Twists. Some of these might have been around for a bit, but like I said, 3+ years since I was last ate here.

Total came to a little under $24, which compared to the $40-$50 meals I was partaking of last weekend, felt like a godsend for my wallet.

Back home with my dinner I found the fries to be somewhat lacking a super nacho flavor but the nacho cheese they dipped into made up for that, the street chalupas was smaller than anticipated but you get 2 per an order and they have a nice crunch along with the slow roasted chicken, and the Gordita was a little more flat than I recall but the nacho shell was pretty great an addition.

On the sweeter side the cinnamon twists were like if you combine air and cinnamon sugar, aka a whole lot of nothing. The cinnabon delights on the other hand were amazing with an unexpected cream cheese frosting filling, and the limonada drink was sweet, tangy, but melted so darn fast. Plus the "regular" size of the freeze was more like a "small", so if you're sharing it or are thirsty, go with the "large" version.

Overall I'd say my return to Taco Bell went rather well, my only complaint may be that everything feels so much smaller than I remember. Less fillings, thinner shells, that sorta thing. But the price was reasonable enough, so I can't complain too much.“
