The Nuclear Taco Experience

Upon hearing that I had a taco review website, a coworker quickly blurted out, "Have you tried the Nacho Cheese Doritos Taco?". Taco Bell?...sigh. I had to keep in mind that she is very young. When I was her age, Taco Bell was considered a delicacy. Her enthusiasm sparked my curiosity and I found myself sitting in the drive thru. I ordered a single Nacho Cheese Doritos Taco Supreme.

The first thing I noticed was the extra cardboard packaging covering the shell. I was initially confused about its necessity to my taco eating experience. I came to the conclusion that 1. It was to hide the nuclear color of the shell so as not to scare you right away and, 2. It is to protect your hands and clothing from the powder bomb of cheese covering it. 

I didn't have the patience to neatly tear away the cardboard as I ate, so I just removed it altogether and dug in with my hands. My opinion? It wasn't worth it. The flavor was not significantly improved to warrant the mess it made all over my hands and mouth. Save yourself the hassle and just get a normal taco.

It Ain't Easy Being Cheesy

Unless of course you are a taco from Taco Casa. There were no Taco Casas in the town I grew up in. All I really had to compare was Taco Bell. It wasn't until I moved to my husbands hometown that I first saw one. My biggest complaint about these types of places is the greasy meat. You can see the wetness on the wrapper. It can make the shell lose its crunch. My favorite part of this taco was the copious amount of shredded cheese. It also comes with lettuce. Don't forget the salsa packets. Their sauce is fairly spicy. A good alternative to Taco Bell.
