I’ve moved back to my country of birth and Taco Bell seems to be a thing here now.

I’ve tried the quesadillas and the crunch supreme and it’s been… life changing.

What else should I be trying?

      Exactly. Read the OP’s question in the title and immediately thought the answer is “Literally any other restaurant.”

    Cantina chicken burrito with the green sauce in the packet. It’s better than you’d get at most of the fake Mexican chain restaurants in my city. Not as good as the authentic places but the price can’t be beat.

    Crunchwrap, either the breakfast one or the lunch/dinner one. If hard pressed, I’d say the breakfast one is better.

    I don’t like the Baja Blast personally, but you should try it as I think it’s the only place you can get it.

    Diablo sauce I think tastes like a spiced ketchup or BBQ sauce, too sweet for me, but the girlfriend loves it.

    Those are the most unique items to me.

    Some of my favorites:

    • Chicken flatbread melt (like a taco but with a fluffy flatbread instead of a tortilla)
    • Beefy 5 layer burrito
    • Cantina Chicken Quesadilla
    • Breakfast Crunchwrap (preferably steak)

    The quesadillas. Again. And again.

    I can’t stop eating them. I prefer their quesadillas over authentic ones tbh. It’s the sauce! And the baja blast!

    Double Beefy Crunch Burrito. If it’s made right, goddamn those hit the spot every time.

    Other than that, try a Baja Blast freeze if they have them.

    Supreme beef chalupas.

    My saying, as it relates to Taco Bell, is: “It’s shit, but it’s good shit.”

    The crunchwrap supreme and burrito supreme I think encompasses the whole menu of flavor from Taco Bell.

    But for me, who remembers multiple tacos for 99 cents from Taco Bell: their basic and unmodified tacos with hot sauce is the only thing I need from Taco Bell.

    nacho fries. I don’t do fast food much now but man the crunchwrap with nacho fries or a breakfast crunchwrap. Oh always get the tacos and breakfast stuff fresca style. Basically on anything that does not rely on the cheese or sauce for flavor which is not a whole lot.

    Chalupas (I think these are basically the same as their gorditas but with a fried shell)

    And honestly their regular, basic beef soft tacos are pretty good, especially with some fire sauce (or whatever your preferred level of spice is).

      Fucking chalupas. I’ve tried to recreate the dough at home but they come out far more like actual bread than the pancake like texture they have.
