If you’ve been to Taco Bell, please share your recommendations of what to get as going to place an order soon and none of us have tried their food before!

I gather the crunch wrap supreme is super popular, but here's the video you need

BritWifeinUSA · 01/09/2020 16:41

I’ve only had the $5 grilled cheese burrito box but it was enjoyable. I’d definitely have that again if I’m passing a Taco Bell and feeling hungry.

Toilenstripes · 01/09/2020 16:44

Is this in the U.K.? Please let it be close to me.

minnieok · 01/09/2020 16:45

It's junk but tasty. We use U.K. get the 2 for a dollar tacos but it was a long time ago!

CuriousaboutSamphire · 01/09/2020 16:47

I'm 90 miles from the nearest one.... who knew they were in the UK?

AriettyHomily · 01/09/2020 16:47

Oh god it's awful, really awful and I Am rather partial to any other form of junk food.

@Toilenstripes there is one in Glasgow! I googled it as I wanted to know this too. Realise that could be the other side of the world to you but worth checking if there is one in a city near you. Glasgow isn't that far for me but lucky if I go there once a year even. After said googling I made my own taco bell inspired crunch wrap from a recipe online. Taco bell is on my todo list.

@Toilenstripes I live in London and there’s one within a delivery radius to me! Think there’s a restaurant in Manchester too.

Haha some of the replies have put me off now Sad especially that video!

I went to the Taco Bell in Manchester once and it was frightful, the burrito smelt and tasted of cat food and gave me horrendous diarrhoea !

WhatHaveIFound · 01/09/2020 16:53

I live 5 miles from one but won't be dashing down there. Have only really eaten at them in the US as a last resort.

MephistophelesApprentice · 01/09/2020 16:54

Went to the one in Hammersmith, got a crunchwrap supreme. Absolutely loved it, but my girlfriend and I had slammed three cocktails before heading in.

Houseplanted · 01/09/2020 16:57

Nachos with all the dips are great, cinnamon twists are vile.

PickwickThePlockingDodo · 01/09/2020 16:58

Well I love Taco Bell, I always have their vegetarian quesadillas. Their seasoned chips are lovely too.

Beegeees · 01/09/2020 17:09

Taco Bell are awful! Get food from Tortilla's instead. MUUUCH better!

PoppyRae · 01/09/2020 17:13

Taco Bell is revolting! We ordered from the Sutton branch. It was like eating cold cardboard with mince meant for dogs 🤢

SupergirlPants · 01/09/2020 17:15

Oh if I have one recommendation for Taco Bell, it's leave the Taco Bell & go somewhere (anywhere) else. Ugh. Just rank.

Alwaysinpain · 01/09/2020 17:18

I recommend swapping meat for beans (it's like a mixed bean veggie alternative) it's very very nice.
My fave item is the 5 layer burrito. It has salad, rice, beans, salsa & cheese

GameSetMatch · 01/09/2020 17:24

There’s loads In the UK now, to be honest honest I’m not a fan! A bit too ‘plastic’ cheesy for me, but my husband loves it.

SurreyHillsGirl · 01/09/2020 17:25

I had Taco Bell about 28 years ago when I was on holiday in Miami, it was amazing. Can't imagine anything in the UK being up to much tho!

hastingsmua1 · 01/09/2020 17:36

Ah such a mixed bag of responses! They’re really cheap so might try them anyway!

Btw I have a 50% off Uber eats code if you want to see if it works for you - FOODIEAUG

Tbf my crunchwrap supreme I made looked a million times better than the one on the video. Didn't taste like much but that is just my cooking and a first attempt.Grin

hastingsmua1 · 01/09/2020 17:47

@Enchantmentz did you make it off the back of this thread? Grin

Brings back such lovely memories waiting for the first Taco Bell in the UK to open up...Made lots of life long friends that night....Try the Nachos Bell Grande

HarryBob · 01/09/2020 18:17

Agree with the recommendations for the crunchwrap supreme, also the double decker taco if they have it - love Taco Bell there are 3 near us in Essex Grin

TheFormerPorpentinaScamander · 01/09/2020 18:20

Don't bother. We ordered it a few months ago. Cold, hardly any filling and no flavour. Ill stick to making my own.
