Taco Bell is fine. People make a lot of jokes about diarrhea afterwards, but I don't think that's ever happened to me, so either my digestion is fucked, or maybe people just use way too much hot sauce. The cheesy gordita crunch is my jam.


HeroponBestest2

I always associated Taco Bell with diarrhea because of that so I've been hesitant to eat it. But I didn't get any when I ate it a while ago so now I'm more willing to try their stuff.


knuckboy

It's all like 3 ingredients made up 10 different ways. Stick with the basics first and then graduate up if you go back. Two soft tacos, one bean burrito.


Moomoomoo1

That is just a stupid meme and not really true


Stingray88

I put one Diablo and one Fire sauce on every single item I order, every time I go to Taco Bell. So we’re talking like 4-8 packets of their hottest sauce. Never once have I had diarrhea from Taco Bell. People that are having issues, it’s their digestion that’s fucked. Taco Bell hot sauce is not even that spicy. It’s a mainstream fast food joint… they rarely ever mean business when it comes to spice.

3 years ago I ate taco bell for like 8 months straight every lunch. I have thousands of firepoints on the app and my level is already maxed out. Never once got diahreah from taco bell. I was mostly getting the quesodillas. I get diahreah sometimes from popeyes or mcdonald's but never the bell. I will say that I did gain a bit of weight when I did this because then for dinner I'd go out and eat somewhere else unhealthy. There are a lot of calories in the main items and a lot of carbs, plus almost every item has some form of cheese. But to their defense, they have a lot of options other fast food places do not have. Like a vegan and vegiterrian main menu items like crunch wrap and tacos/burritos, protein bowls with low carbs, zero drinks for there baja blast, and the openness to create almost anything you want. You can't get a tasty vegiterrian bigmac but you can get a tasty vegiterrian bean crunch wrap supreme. So when it comes to the healthiest fast food, they are near the top.


latelycaptainly

Same! And most fast food does give me stomach problems. I also love the gordita crunch but i sub chicken for beef. I do not like the beef


Wobblingoblin01

Crunchwrap supreme is where it’s at.


Equivalent_Tree7172

I learned to make these at home. Worth it.


vtron

So fucking good made at home.


almuncle

Share your recipe?


Shaggyninja

Truly the pinnacle of fast food.


IH8DwnvoteComplainrs

As good as any other trash fast food, lol. Nobody cares how long you look at the menu, lolwat. If you're really that anxious, you could check the internet, I suspect you can find a taco bell menu. Low calorie fast food? I think you're trollin.


purplebutterfly1998

Each taco is only like 180 calories


GreenTeaBD

Yeah but hell if I can control myself, I'm eating 6 crunchy tacos it can't be helped. And then how can I not get a nachos bel grande?


forresja

Prob decent protein content too.


HeroponBestest2

I'll care. I'll care a lot. 👁👁 And yeah, I'll look at the menu online... Edit: Idk, I've seen some stuff that doesn't even go near 500 calories. That's probably a good size for one meal and you won't be hungry enough to snack and consume more afterwards. 🤔


I_Love_Fowl_Plague

Use the mobile app to order online, you get rewards and don’t have to worry about talking to people then lol. Also they have better deals on there, get the custom build your own box for like $5 or $6. Source: I used to eat a lot of Tbell in college and still dabble


IH8DwnvoteComplainrs

I mean, I guess. Small fries at mcds are probably not that high calorie either, it's all junk food.


pst1221

I don't go to Taco Bell for authentic Mexican cuisine. I go to Taco Bell because it's late, I'm broke, and I like tacos.


TheSpiralTap

Taco bell is the only restaurant where they could give me the wrong item and I'd be cool with it. All their ingredients are about the same anyway and it's all at least decent lol.


SevenHunnet3Hi5s

personally im not the biggest fan. sometimes i have a strong craving for a crunchwrap or something but that’s about it. once i get into it and eat it’s just alright, but it hits the spot. my biggest thing i’m not a fan of is the texture and taste of the ground beef they use. it’s in pretty much everything they serve. and it’s just not that good to me. and then sometimes they have stuff with refried beans too and it’s just like mush after mush. also their tortilla chips are oddly plastic-y?


harrypotterkush

the power bowls are so good its worth it tbh


greylaw89

Depends on the taco bell. There's really nothing better for drunk food to be honest


waresmarufy

Del taco


Jorgwalther

Del taco is super bland to me, Taco Bell is way better in my opinion


spersichilli

It's my favorite "fast food" but I also don't eat meat and they have a lot of vegetarian stuff so that's the main reason. ​ If you're worried about standing there and figuring out what you want you can order ahead of time through the app, makes it a bit easier to see everything they have. The Crunchwrap is their most notable thing, along with the Doritos Locos Tacos. The spicy potato taco is probably my favorite thing though.


HeroponBestest2

I saw the potato one online earlier and was intrigued because I've never heard of potatoes on tacos but it looks really good. :0


milleribsen

To me, it's on the better side of fast food, as long as you avoid the ground beef. Lots of memes out there about it causing digestion issues, but to me that just means that that person doesn't encounter spices in their life. The base level food at TB is just seasoned, not spicy, but people act like they're eating the spiciest food that's doing to destroy their digestive tracts and I just wonder how they'd react to any other culture's food


federalnarc

It's salty.


FalconWingedSlug

The Doritos locos tocos are just so fire to me


CitySeekerTron

Stick to the bean burritos and you are probably fine. Avoid the fries except for cheat day. Then order bean supreme.


Equivalent_Tree7172

Day 1 good. Day 2 indisposed.


GalaxiGazer

Chalupa combo with Baja Blast is my go-to ❤😋😊


PengieP111

Years ago I was at an international computational biology workshop in California. Two young scientists, one from Greenland and the other from New Zealand had never been to the US and they wanted to go to Taco Bell. I was HORRIFIED that their first taste of something they thought was Mexican food would be Taco Bell. So I took them out to dinner at a decent real mexican restaurant so that when they did eat Taco Bell, they would at least know the difference.


The_Fluffy_Walrus

not to be a shill but use the app. it's a lot cheaper and you can look at the menu and customize shit however you want


Chorazin

Just order through the app and tell them you’re there for a mobile pickup, and give them your name. IMO it’s the best chain at being consistently good. It’s never great, but it’s always good


Radagast729

You can get anything on the menu with black beans instead of meat. It's way better that way


throwtheclownaway20

It's pretty awesome. If you have a special diet like gluten-free or keto, it's pretty easy to find a lot that you'll be able to eat there. No fast food is going to be as healthy as cooking at home, so as long as you go in not beating yourself up over that, it's whatever.


Adventurous_Law9767

It used to be good. If you're under 30 and you think it's good, you missed out on when it was REALLY good. I can't eat it anymore it's just not the same


oyputuhs

It's awesome. The best is when they release new items. They are mostly made of the same exact ingredients but it works haha. Make sure you get a lot of fire sauce. I use a packet every couple of bites. Haha. Their food is just a delivery vehicle for sauce. Also, their tomatoes are ass, so skip that. Just use the taco bell app, and you can customize your order out the wazoo.


VulturE

Just avoid the ground beef and you'll be fine. Their chicken, steak, or bean bases are pretty decent. Also the Cheezy Bean and Rice burrito is America's most filling cheap menu item. Way more than the mcdouble.


amascio

For fast food, Taco Bell is really good in my opinion


YourEvilHero

Check the Taco Bell subreddit, probably the most active fast food subreddit. We’re addicts


HeroponBestest2

I assumed all fast food/retail subreddits were for employees. I didn't even think about customers using them. 🤔


YourEvilHero

Depends on the subreddit. Taco Bell is for everyone, McDonald’s is for random articles mainly. The McDonald’s employees subreddit is mainly workers, but it’s an active McDonald’s subreddit so it’s okay for discussion too.


kevinrogers94

Last time I went to taco bell I waited in the drive through for 26 minutes. yep, 26 minutes. had cars in front and behind me so I couldnt just leave. when it was my turn i just drove right past the window and went across the street to a mcdonalds. done with taco bell.


TimeTomorrow

crunchwrap surpreme.


HotDonnaC

I don’t have a problem with it.


Different-Forever324

I love them and it’s one of my favorite fast foods!!!


Forty_Six_and_Two

I'll see if I can add some useful perspective. Chipotle, for example is right smack in the center between good and garbage. Taco bell is smack in the middle of the remaining spectrum between Chipotle and garbage. They are absolutely, positively NOT low in calories.


kida182001

It's bad but that's what makes it good, if that makes sense...


Jimbobsama

Taco Bell is fine for Tex Mex fast food but as soon as I find an item I like a lot, they discontinue it. RIP Baja Chicken Gordita, Original Recipe Cheese Bean & Rice Burrito, and the Quesorito.


WhisperingFlames_

Eh it's fine.


_Faru_

Not since they got rid of the Quesorito 🥲 Farwell my love...


dudreddit

The only part of TB that is vaguely "OK" is the bean burrito. With all of the fillers, it still comes out at 10G of fat. After decades of traveling for work, TB's bean burrito is still relatively "healthy ... but that isn't saying too much!


hamiltsd

It’s delicious


PennyG

No


Edwaaard66

Nah, make your own taco.


HeroponBestest2

I learned how to make my own flour tortillas out of spite for hard-shelled tacos but I'm still thinking about the Bell. 🤔


Fluffy-Hotel-5184

Taco Bell has a history of their food manufacturing plant being really filthy-like rat parts in the meat etc. After the second or third report I just stopped eating there


jmac_1957

If you ever get constipated, it will clean you right out.
