The tomato bits were slightly sweet and added a necessary acidic touch. The richness of the beef in the taco sauce balanced extremely well with the generous amount of crunchy shreds of lettuce. Doritos on the outside.” Yes, voice in my head, I will do your bidding. My urge to ravish this taco was uncontrollable but first I had to remove the additional wrap that said “Taco Bell on the inside. Tossing the paper, I am greeted by the smells of alpha male beefiness that is tempered by the crisp scent of lettuce. The wrapping of the taco is decorated with bold typeface proclaiming things such as “Awesome!” and “Doritos!” It put a tingle in my reconstructed metal reinforced spine. So if you do not like Taco Bell or their taco (you soulless bastard) then this item is not going to persuade you to turn. It’s akin to exchanging your shorts and Stereolab t-shirt for a pair of Banana Republic boot cut jeans and a black blazer. By the way, is it me or don’t you love the way they are simplifying things and just handing you a box?Īnyhoolies, the Doritos Locos Taco is basically a taco supreme dressed up in a giant Doritos chip. Each kit contains a burrito supreme, normal taco and a Doritos Locos taco (sauce packets not included so get out of your introverted shell and ask). It’s Taco Bell and if you don’t like at least one item from the dependable Bell, you have no soul.Įxcited I rode my scooter up to the drive-thru and bought the handy Doritos Locos Tacos big box. We’re not talking about a meal worthy of Michelin stars or a dissertation of what the “chef” thought about when creating this. Look it’s Taco Bell, it’s the handjobs of food. Coupled with the “pink slime” stories making the rounds at news outlets, some of you may still be put off by the idea. Now we all know that Taco Bell has recently encountered controversy whether the beef is real. Gluttony be damned, this thing is tasty to put it directly. I mean it’s a freaking taco with a nacho cheese Doritos shell. And unlike the maligned superhero “Access”, I suspect that this product will prove to be popular with the consumers out there. I am sure amongst the egos, logistics, and red tape both companies eloquently persevered through all of it. Taco Bell and Frito-Lay should be commended. Not since the team up of Marvel and DC comics in the late 90’s where they gave birth to joint character, “Access”, have I been looking forward to a shared creation. That is how I imagine the origins of the Doritos Locos Tacos began, but I am sure that it is much more mundane. “…And give Executive Three the keycard to the grand executive bathroom with the chaise lounge! Begin phase one of our Meximeltamaster plan!” (Cue brooding evil music)
More awkward silence and Executive Three began to wonder if the position at Taco Viva was still available. While clearing her throat, she asked, “What if we joined with Frito-Lay and asked them to make a big ass Doritos taco shell?” The silence was uncomfortable as everyone’s eyes now laid on Mr. She scribbled her notes in a frantic manner as everyone at the long conference table stared at her. Narrowing his eyes, Executive Three had an idea. “I sure love Doritos,” said Executive One as he mowed in such sloppy fashion, leaving orange fingerprints on the papers he shuffled.
“We need the public to get Chalupexcited again!!” “We need something that will put us at the Gorditop!” shouted Mr. Preening and fretting in their dark tailored suits, the executives were going over the 3rd quarter sales while trying to figure out the next big thing. Security guards armed with squirt bottles filled with “Fire” sauce ready to squeeze into the face of any unwelcome visitors.
The foreboding hidden base is heavily fortified by seven layers of sour cream, guacamole, seasoned rice, beans, cheese, and tomatoes. For the money, you get a sizable meal good enough for two meals for a light eater like myself.I imagine the executives in the Taco Bell wing of Yum! Brands sitting in their secret think tank. It's also available with chicken for $4.79 and steak for $4.99. The burrito is priced at $3.99 at my local Taco Bell.
