I liked the combo deals when I was younger. Some crunchy chicken to go with my tacos yum.

Last fast food I ate, maybe ~3 years ago, was a KFC famous bowl. That was hitting rock bottom.

Our local one is a Taco Hut. Wife sometimes gets bread sticks when we do drive thru.

Talked her into a late night 4th meal trek tonight with kiddo.

Have you guys ever been in a Taco Bell/Pizza Hut hybrid? I've been to a few and never see anyone ordering from the Pizza Hut area

I actually collaborated with some of the IT guys over at Yum! brands on a Java app a long while back when I worked at a company that did background checks (and car inspections among other things).

There's one up the road from me I hit up all the time. It was the only Taco Bell nearby for a good while cause all the other ones got shut down for health code violations.

I was with someone once who ordered from the pizza side. It was like 5pm, and when he opened it he noticed a big sticker on it that said DO NOT SERVE AFTER 1PM. Swapped it for a Mexican pizza

I almost went to Taco Bell tonight, but ended up going to Chick-fil-A after I realized that I hadn't done much to support Christian fundamentalism this week.

All Taco Bells here are KFC hybrids.

tiesto · « **Reply #24 on:** March 09, 2012, 02:43:16 PM »

My best Taco Bell memories are when one opened right down the block from my house, probably when we were in 6th-7th grade. My friends and I used to ride our bikes there and eat lunch on our limited allowances from our parents. And my friend would always say "there was a hair in my taco" after he finished eating one, to get a second one free (because we didn't have enough $$ anyways)... I think they finally caught on when he did that twice in one day.

I can't remember the last time I've actually been to TB though, for fast food Mexican I'll go to Green Cactus.

I tried the Doritos tacos last night. I'll probably be buying those by the dozen when I'm high

A Gawker blogger found himself wretching and with serious stomache pain after he ate half that many. Good luck!

I had a doritos taco- wasnt THAT impressed; shell is more fragile and doesnt have the full flavor of a chip. That said- cheesy gordita crunch reigns supreme

had a BRC friday to fulfill my RELIGILOUS OBLIGATIONS then tried one of the dorito tacos today.

agree w/ MAF the shell was kinda bland tbh, still worth it for the novelty value alone

any of you mooks like the jack in the box tacos too?

Brehvolution · « **Reply #39 on:** March 12, 2012, 09:27:44 AM »

I passed on the Dorito taco in favor of a baja gordita. I was given an extra baja gordita by mistake.

I consider this a sign from the taco gods.

They stick a whole slice of American cheese in the taco, and the shell is transparent due to the grease.

MY REVIEW

The shell tasted more like a Dorito than I imagined. Still, overall it's kind of a regular taco. I'd give it a 3.5/5. Not bad, but not amazing

BUT

I also ordered one cheesy gordita crunch and the inside shell was a dorito! It tasted way better, and actually improved the already perfect gordita. 6/5

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #57 on:** March 13, 2012, 11:08:29 PM »

Yeah I want in on that cheesy gordita crunch doritos shit right now. Not sure how to ask them. Its kinda like some friend told you about some crazy sex thing he got to do with his girlfriend and you dont know how to ask your girlfriend about giving it a shot. I dont want to ruin my relationship with taco bell- I just want a dorito shell in my crunch!

regular tacos are like my least favorite thing on the taco bell menu, and the dorito dust made them better, so thumbs up
