I tried Taco Bell the other day for the first time ever. I had some time to kill waiting for a train and the town had one - never been the newish one in Liverpool.
Ordered a couple of bits with my partner - mainly bland shite needing the cheese to do the heavy lifting for any flavour. The ‘volcano’ burrito was utterly flavourless. The saviour of the day was the ‘cheesy gordita crunch,’ a hard shell taco full of chilli and cheese, with ranch dressing, wrapped in a soft shell taco. Texturally satisfying and I came away thinking it was really good for fast food, but I do think it shone in comparison to the pathetic offerings otherwise.
Also tried Wendy’s when I was in NYC in December, it was pretty good really albeit quite expensive, it definitely was at least as good if not better than a Burger King.
