Alright, let’s talk about it. Taco Bell is trash. Don’t get me wrong, I’ll devour a quesadilla or a grilled cheese burrito, as long as you keep the beef away from me. Now, as a previous worker there for a lengthy two months, I would consider myself qualified to give professional critiques on the wannabe Mexican fast food restaurant known as Taco Bell, so let’s address it.

Firstly, let’s get into the beef. Picture this, you walk into the freezer, grab a frozen bag of mystery meat, and then pop that bad boy into hot water for 30 minutes, maybe less depending on what rush we were in. Now take that sopping wet “beef”, slap it in a pan, and voila, slop in a tortilla. Now, maybe I’m being unfair, until you take a look at the beans. See, whenever someone ordered that monstrosity, I couldn’t hide my disdain. How could you take a look at such a thing and consider it edible? Half the time, they were dry, no water to be found. And biting into it had to be like chewing playdough, I wouldn’t know, as I’ve done a good job of staying far away from it. And don’t get me started on the rice. Now maybe it isn’t as bad as the beef or the beans, but it’s still on a thin, tightrope of edibility. I myself don’t even know how it was made, like it’s a Taco Bell conspiracy. And the chips, I tried to like them; I really did. They just taste terrible, even with the nacho cheese, which is a whole thing in itself.     

But let’s be fair here, cause even I have to admit that Taco Bell has come out with some bangers, for instance, the chicken tenders. Now I don’t know whose idea it was to get rid of those, but I need to have a talk with them. And no, the chicken nuggets are not the same thing. And you can’t forget about the Cinnabons, cause who doesn’t like a sweet treat to go along with a quesadilla?

 Talking about sweets, the churros were a disappointment. It’s just the salt, really, so let me share a little hack we did: Simply replace that churro salt with the Cinnabon sugar, and it’s automatically better, Taco Bell takes notes. I did like the steak, so Taco Bell isn’t the most terrible place to eat at, like, god forbid, Arby’s. But it is still a last resort type of restaurant. 

 Now, I could go on and on about the cleanliness of the restaurant, the customers, even the DoorDash who show up and throw their phone in my face, but as a customer, you don’t care about all that. All you need to know is that the McDonald’s across the street is still a better option than Taco Bell.
