A Taco Bell finally opened up where I live, and we are going to go try it tonight. What should I try and what should I avoid?
Of course I know I should try another restaurant and avoid Taco Bell, that’s too obvious, but what is life without a little Adventure.
Crunch wrap supreme.
This and the mini Cinnabon balls, holy shit
First two comments is my usual order. I can feel the validation washing over me.

This, OP. If you’re going to do this to yourself, at least do it right.

This is the correct answer
Crunch wrap, sub chicken for beef. I love that thing.
Given your username, I’d think you’d be partial to the breakfast crunch wrap that comes with a coffee as an option for the drink.
My boyfriend is a Taco Bell fanatic. I asked him and he told me “a grilled cheese burrito, a crunchwrap supreme, and nacho fries if they have them”. Enjoy!
Appreciate the recommendation.
Probably 90% of their food is the same stuff wrapped up in a different shape, they’re spooning the same meat into the tacos as the burritos as the crunch wrap etc.
So if your goal is to get a full sense of what taco bell has to offer, get a hard taco, a soft taco, a Doritos taco, and a chalupa, mix and match the meats, sauces, and other toppings, and you’ll have a pretty representative sample of most of the menu.
As far as personal recommendations, I like steak chalupas, chicken crunchwraps with chipotle sauce, any variety of their grilled burrito, and their cinnamon twists. Sometimes they have a limited time specialty item that’s pretty good, not sure what they’re pushing now but always worth checking out what they have.
I will also say that if you don’t get a Baja blast you’re doing it wrong
I would add 5 layer burrito to that mix, to really capture diarrhea you get from the unholy combination of ground meat, nacho cheese, and sour cream.

Cheesy Gordita Crunch and Crunchwrap Supreme.
I’m also a fan of the Beefy Five-Layer Burrito positively smothered in Fire sauce.

I don’t know if it’s everywhere, but the Diablo sauce has a better flavor in my opinion. I am a sucker for the Beefy Five-Layer Burrito though.
5-layer, sub beef for potatoes. So good.
I haven’t been able to find Diablo sauce in the past few years.
Maybe it’s a regional thing? The one closest to me has had it for as long as I can remember. Was actually just there on Tuesday and got some.
Cheesy Gordita Crunch is the correct answer, but probably best to also try basic items just for comparison.
I remember the dark days when the Cheesy Gordita Crunch was a limited time offer and it kept going away and coming back. I would always go A LOT when it showed back up. So glad it seems to be a stable staple now.
Oh! And fwiw - they actually sell the Fiesta sauce in some grocery stores now… that is one of the key ingredients that makes it so good. That sauce goes well on/in so many things.
Yesssssss thissss!!!
Cheesey Gordita Crunch with the Doritos Locos taco inside!
Dunno fam. You might be too old to start eating taco bell. U might die.
Spicy potato soft taco. Small item overshadowed by others, but a solid go to when you want something small. Potatoes, spicy ranch and lettuce in a soft tortilla. Nothing fancy, just tasty.
This has always been my go to. Cheap easy and tasty.
When going to a KFC combo, it’s also fun to get some fried chicken to add into the taco.
First step of being new to Taco Bell:
My favorite thing is the Chicken Baja Gordita, it’s an older menu item that they will still make, love the baja sauce.
Taco Bell is a unique style of crap that’s pretty good. I’d go for the classics: a beef taco and a bean burrito. Maybe a bowl of pinto beans. Everything needs to be covered in the packets of hot sauce. The hot and fire are the only good ones (I’m going by memories from the 90s btw).
I’ve never found an acceptable substitute for their nacho cheese sauce (sure it’s probably basically plastic. But it’s plastic I crave) or the chalupa shells. Nothing is close to either of those.
I’m a big quesarito fan, but I’m basically happy with my own of that.
Imagine you recommend anything but Diablo sauce. Are you serious? Why would you even go to Taco Bell?
Diablo sauce is gross, though. It’s really no hotter than Fire (and neither is very hot) but it tries to do something smoky and citrusy or some shit, and being Taco Bell, they can’t pull it off. Better to just go with the tomato and vinegar and powdered jalapeno in whichever concentration level they can handle.
I haven’t eaten at Taco Bell in at least 10 years and I don’t think they had Diablo Sauce then.
This is the answer. It’s only remarkable if you can’t quickly get tacos anywhere else. It’s kind of its own thing, though and it sort of hits the spot sometimes.
If I actually want Tex-Mex fast food, living in Texas I’d usually take any of the following before Taco Bell:
- Taco Bueno
- Taco Casa
- Taco Cabana
- Rosa’s Cantina
- Taco Delite
There is another taco place in town, but its absolute ass. Tbell was about on parr with a store bought taco kit, and I’m ok with that.

Mexican pizza before they take it off the menu again. Also, ask for all of the hot sauces. The workers won’t care.
BRING BACK THE DAMNED FIESTA VEGGIE BURRITO, TACO BELL. YOU HAVE THE INGREDIENTS.
You need to build up tolerance first. Go slow with a simple taco, otherwise you digestion gonna do civil war.
Their breakfast burritos are good, cheap, and a great value for your money. Use their app, and you can get free stuff regularly, too.
EDIT: I’m talking about their lowest tier breakfast burritos. The higher levels are not worth it.
THEY DISCONTINUED MY FAVORITE ITEM: THE 7 LAYER BURRITO. BRING IT BACK TACO BELL, YOU HEAR?
