Mr. Hakujin Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 I have to stick to the Fresco menu when I go to Taco Bell...which is surprisingly healthy and very tasty. I was good with one soft chicken taco... Is it really that much healthier? I've been ordering stuff "fresco" the last few times I ate there and didn't taste a difference w/ the tacos, but the burrito supreme did taste different. I asked the guy at the drive thru what made the items "fresco" and he said they substitute "low-cal" ingredients. The only items I could think he was talking about were sour cream and the sauces. Surely they don't cook "low-cal" meat or change the tortillas, do they? I LOVED the Dorito taco. I had 2, with a Volcano Burrito. I always get at least 1 Volcano Burrito, but now I'm thinking 4 Dorito Tacos instead. (total). Hmmmm... I'm no optometrist, but I'm pretty sure you just described the resson your eyes had to have lasers go *pew*pew* on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benz Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 All this hate on the Doritos taco? I'll try it again, just to double check. Could be that my taste buds were expecting goodness after having the Volcano Burrito. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aartemys Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 According to the nutrition facts on their website: Fresco Chicken Soft Taco Cal 150 Total Fat 3.5g Carb 18g Regular Chicken Soft Taco Cal 180 Total Fat 6g Carb 18g Not much difference, all that is missing is sour cream. But I really can't/shouldn't eat sour cream anyway so I'm OK with that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thelogan Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 (edited) The fresco stuff is yummy. I get it sometimes completely regardless of health benefits. That tomato/cilantro junk they put on it is good. And it definitely doesn't sit as "heavy" as the regular menu item stuff, even if it isn't technically that much better for you.

Thelogan Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 I LIKE THE PART WHERE HE SAID THERAPIST! This fucking thread kills me a little every time I have to use it. Taco Bell sells 100 million Dorito shell tacos, promises new flavors. Cool Ranch. Cool. Ranch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Master Star Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Upon a second chance, I find that I do indeed like the dorito taco more than I thought. Also, hell fucking yes, Cool Ranch needs to happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aartemys Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 I need a Dorito taco like I need a hole in my head...that doesn't mean that I won't be the first in line if they had a cool ranch one, though!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amynicole Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 I haven't eaten at a taco bell in years. If I did it would be for the cheesy gordita crunch if they still make them. They got me through high school. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iambaytor Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 (edited) Every time I go, I get a Grilled Stuffed Chicken/Steak Burrito and a Baja Chicken Chalupa. Maybe that's why I don't get all the Taco Bell hate. I know their ground beef sucks so I don't eat it, but what I do eat is fucking delicious and cheap.

Thelogan Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 Alaskan town devastated to find that news of a Taco Bell opening was just a cruel hoax In what has been described as an evil hoax, the town of Bethel, Alaska, has learned it is not getting a Taco Bell. Not now. Not ever. “I repeat: Bethel is NOT getting a Taco Bell,” the local radio station, KYUK, broadcast this week in an attempt to dash the greased-up expectations — not to mention dozens of phone calls — sparked by the fake fliers posted around town promising gorditas in time for the 4thof July. Bethel may be the largest town in bush Alaska, but it still barely tops 6,000 people; it’s reachable only by boat or plane; and Subway is as close as it’s ever managed to come to fast food. It was some unique form of tundra humor at work, apparently, that led to the fliers posted on various local bulletin boards, promising an opening in time for Bethel’s annual Independence Day parade and offering employment. “We got excited, because we don’t have any fast food chains out here, and the idea of Taco Bell coming in? And they were going to be here for the 4thof July?” Chamber of Commerce director Bonnie Bradbury said in an interview. “You bring a McDonald’s or a KFC, people will go crazy out here,” said Tatiana Dotdot, who works at the local AC store, the rambling supermarket that sells everything from diapers to all-terrain vehicles, as long as it can be brought in on a barge or a plane. On the flier, interested parties were directed to a fake website and a telephone number belonging to a local resident who told callers he had no intention of opening a Taco Bell. “I called it, too. They said, ‘Of course this is not Taco Bell,’” Bradbury recounted in an interview. “Then he kept getting phone calls, and he asked me if there was any way to stop the phone calls, they would appreciate it.” KYUK called up the company in Anchorage that operates Alaska’s Taco Bells, and what the Anchorage Daily News newspaper described as “an evil hoax” was confirmed. The perpetrator remains, for the moment at least, unknown. Still, spring in the tundra is an optimistic time, and Bradbury’s thinking that all the phone calls and attention may wake somebody up to the fact that Bethel is in fact yearning for fast food. “Maybe now they’ll think about it,” she said.

Aartemys Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 Wow...that's a bit of reality there. The only thing that didn't seem too upcharged was the milk, honestly. Have you really taken a gander on how much a gallon costs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
