Taco Bell Appreciation Thread

[quote name='sblymnlcrymnl']The cheesy bean & rice is the best thing since ... ever. I'm so fucking glad they brought it back. TB was the first thing I ate when I got back from Mexico. :lol:[/QUOTE]

You are so right. I seriously jumped in happiness when I saw it on their menu. I ordered 6 and downed them all.
 
ummm...all their food tastes the same to me. :lol: their beef and cheese kinda covers up everything. except the Beef Meximelt- you can taste the cheese and pico de gallo, so it's my favorite.

still, once you go to Chipotle (or eat real mexican food at a real mexican restaurant) it's hard to stomach the Bell.

I've eaten at pretty much every Mexican restaurant in a 15 miles radius, and I still prefer Taco Bell because I can be full for $5.

hey, it's your colon :lol:
 
speaking of the bell, does anyone eat from there pizza hut express? there personal pan combos aren't too shabby for 5 bucks..but beware, dry bread sticks, and pizza with labels with time stamps saying discard 15 minutes from the time you order it on that day :(
 
[quote name='projecteightysix']if the clouds were made of chicken quesadillas, I would be the happiest person in the world.[/QUOTE]
Uh, because then those chicken quesadillas would all be far out of human reach? o_O
 
We definitely needed a topic for this!

Taco Bell rocks, Grande soft are perfect for me, though I can't really talk about food right now after I feel extremly sick...
 
TBiddy, my favorite spot whenever I'm low on change and need something. Despite claims to the contrary, Taco Bell is still damn cheap, especially in Central PA on a Sunday. I can get 8 tacos for 3.50.

You just can't beat that.

Taco Bell is a skill you learn in College, it should be a pre-requisite for any business degree.
 
I actually lost weight while eating Taco Bell about three times a week. It probably helped that I was lifting boxes at UPS, but it's fun to think that a Taco Bell diet enabled me to lose 50 lbs.. Perhaps, I should call their corporate headquarters, and discuss a marketing plan similar to Subway's Jared. I see free Taco Bell for life in my future. ;)
 
I enjoyed some just a few hours ago. One cheesy bean & rice, one chili cheese burrito. :drool: :drool: :drool: :cool:[quote name='Moxio']You are so right. I seriously jumped in happiness when I saw it on their menu. I ordered 6 and downed them all.[/QUOTE]:shock:
I had 6, but it took me a week. I can barely handle 2 per meal. :oops: :lol:

I'm suprised that they are still doing that special, it was around 40 cents a taco on sunday when I was a student there 5 years ago. There are alot of good cheap places to eat there, though, which you will miss when you graduate and the only thing that you can get in the "cheap" price range (under $10) is taco bell and random small Chinese restaurants. (I work in west haven CT, not far from Yale, but they are into more expensive triendier places here!)

Anyway, the corner room all you can eat pasta (monday?) was pretty reasonably priced for the quality. (The record at the time was 15 plates of pasta in one sitting???) The skeller also has good food, I think that they make it in the (much more expensive) restaurant upstairs. Golden Wok is good, although a little pricier if I remember right. Same for the Diner, which is such an institution (famous for sticky buns) that I'm sure you have been there by now. If you live out on north atherton, check out the calzone place a little past giant (towards wal mart). That's a Wrap (downtown) is good although a little pricier, but we mostly went there in the warmer weather after they had opened the outside seating. I was not a big fan of the "burritos as big as your head" place (la bamba? chain that seems to exist only in college towns) below McDonald's (disturbing pix on the walls!), but alot of the guys seemed to like them.

I'm sure that I have missed some places that some other alumni would add, and a few of these places may not even be open anymore. Anyway, the variety of cheap food in your area is really good. (Although I will admit to eating alot of stuff off the dollar menu at wendy's and at taco bell when I only had a couple of dollars.)
 
I just had a beef potato burrito (or whatever its called) and it wasn't that good. But the beef grilled stuft burrito never disappoints.

I tried a taco truck and I got the worst stomach pains ever. Never dared to try again... :(

I get the combo 8, I think. Chicken quesadilla, soft taco [no lettuce,\], add a beef baja gordita with no fiesta sauce and no lettuce.
Yummy, but not very filling. I actually drove through Wendy's on the way back from the Bell, ordering virtually the same thing I get when I just go to Wendy's.

You can probably do better, for cheaper or the same, going to El Dorado or whatever, but there's something about that bell.
 
Its all about 15 soft tacos and Fire packets and a Large Baja blast!

Also love steak gorditas with the nacho cheese sauced topped with Fire sauce!

You Graduated in 01? I was just one year behind you, I'm actually working for the university now. The corner room is excellent, and they do the all you can eat pasta business still, though not as regularly as they used to. College Ave is the spot for cheap food, as it is the place to congregate on a weekend anyhow.

I'm surprised you didn't like La Bamba, that was the "when I had the money" spot- as opposed to Taco bell.

When I was there as a student I lived in the College Apartment complex right above the subway, I can remember the long drunken walk to Taco bell at 2:30 in the morning to grab some 7-layers.

Ah, Taco Bell :)
 
I think quality aside, the Taco Bell value menu is hands down the best value per pound in fast food today. Half a pound of burrito is better than a tiny ass value burger from anywhere (Jack in the box, Wendys, McDs).
 
Remember when Tacobell had Star Wars toys during the rereleases around 1996? I kept getting kid's meals every day in hope of a new toy. It worked, and was delicious, but I gained lots of weight. Regardless, I've always loved Taco Bell. One thing I miss is when they used to have Nacho Supremes in a small, long frenchfry plate. There nachos used to be much better. Now, I usually just get a Grilled Stuft and maybe 2 bean burritios. Love those bean burritos!
 
the worst atrocity known to man was when taco bell stoped carrying dr.pepper in their soda machines
the combo of taco and dr.pepper was god like
i like the 1/2 lb burrito and i suualy get a taco and something else that is different every time
 
nothing but love for the bell...grilled stuffed burito's, gordito's and chalupa's are all great. Haven't ordred it in awhile, but the choco taco was good too.
 
Mmm... Just had Taco Bell yesterday, and now I want to make another run down there today...
But just for the record, am I the only one that swears the Apple Empanadas are just deep fried fruit pies?

Thats what an empanada is sorta. I have a definition for it here in this thread somewhere.

I can't get out to go to taco bell and I'm craving some of there nachos bell grande and baja gorditas, maybe even a little fiesta potatos. I have some tortillas here I'm bout to go make myself something.
 
Had Taco Bell last night for the first time in ages. After reading this thread I got a 1/2 pound beef and potato burrito. :drool: Good times! My buddy got 4 of them and was like how the hell can you eat just one...... :lol:

Agreed, jeesus now I want someeeeeeeeeeeee :drool: :drool:
 
[quote name='sblymnlcrymnl']I had a pair of cheesy bean & rices about an hour and a half ago. Good times. :cool:[/QUOTE]

You bet. Best food on the menu.

Have you tried that "fresco" style stuff? Where they replace cheese with, like, this salsa stuff? I tried it because I was curious, and it was actually really good!

Before fresco style, it was the same with extra red sauce.
 
Just had two Burrito Supremes, since I had a coupon. Kind of a rip off though. Why would you pay $2.06 for one of those measly things when you can get half a pound of junk thats not significantly better or worse for like $1-1.26.

I'd eat at Subway more if...

1) It wasn't so damn expensive

2) It wasn't so damn light (I couldn't fill up on that shit in a million years)

Del Taco rocks. The only thing that sucks is that the nearest location is a half-hour drive away from me.

Yeah, CA is jam-packed with Del Tacos. Unfortunately only a few other states (OR, WA, etc.) have one or two entirely.
