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.
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!”
The haters can claw my baja blast and my cantina chicken quesadillas from my cold, dead hands.
If you’re still eating from there, then it shouldn’t be long now.
I joke, but not really. You have to ask yourself, how is it possible that a little chicken, lettuce tomatoes with some sauce on a “tortillas” can make so many 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.

It’s one of the only chains with that reputation. It’s kinda of weird to brag about liking it so much but hey, you do you.
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.
So many people shaming OP in here 😅
They never said they eat it all the time. Calm down everyone; let them enjoy themselves.
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)
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.
