      In the original video Jolly did with just the two of them - they didn't have any sauces either and they got dragged in the comments for it then also. Personally, I hate Taco Bell as it is. But I also feel like you shouldn't need to put sauce on any foods you get (unless it's meant to be put together mind you) so the guys (and now the kids here) not having any sauces is fine. But the internet, internets I guess lol

    Fun fact. The cinnamon twists are really just deep fried rotini with cinnamon sugar added once they are freshly removed from the oil. You put them in a bag with a measured amount of cinnamon sugar in it and shake them up and they're ready. Many people don't believe this when they hear it, but just try it for yourself if you have an oil-based deep-frier (not an air fryer, it needs oil).

    1. Eat immediately after you get it. Either at the restaurant or in your car.

      I've never had a problem with their soft tacos tasting off and I'm usually fairly picky about detecting odd/off flavors. I wonder if it's a regional thing sourcing different shells or something.
      The best taco bell menu item of all time was the double decker. I can never truly forgive them for taking that away and they also owe me a ton of royalties because I designed the Dorito Loco Taco years before they came up with the idea.

And if you are wondering, each truck is usually its own mini-business so its rare to find two of the same kind.

  • @trystkinkou5542
    @trystkinkou5542 3 місяці тому +1

    Ex-employee here, taco bell makes the food as an assembly line. Meat and beans first as a hot item then the veggies and cheese then sour cream/guacamole. In taco bell you have to keep the hot stuff hot and cold stuff cold because you are actually graded on it from mystery shoppers that get back to corporate and effect your pay/bonuses. Chalupa is a fried soft taco tortilla. Supreme in taco bell language denotes that there are sour cream and tomatoes added... nonsupremes don't. Baja blast is a Mt. Dew drink and contracted to taco bell as the only restaurant (in a certain amount of years) to carry it in restaurants. You can actually get it in regular stores.

  • @mattbarba3993
    @mattbarba3993 3 місяці тому +1

    The reason the ingredients in tacos are not mixed together is because the hot ground beef will make the cold crispy lettuce soggy.
    And you don't eat the taco from the top, ie, along the curved edge.
    But you tilt the taco so that it's at 45° angle or greater so that you can bite the meat and the lettuce and tomato and cheese all at the same time.
    Almost every American likes Taco Bell even though there are stories about reconstituted meat and reconstituted refried beans there's something about it that people love and it's quite addictive.
    A lot of people can literally eat five tacos in one sitting as well as a burrito.
    It's just tasty reliable fast food that really satisfies you.

    As someone who worked in a Taco Bell as a 15 year old, I will chime in.
    First rule, these are not chef created meals, they are fast food. something put together in 2 min or less by high schoolers from pre-cooked ingredients. It's not going to be super high-quality meals, it's something fast and easy to eat while driving to work.
    Mixing stuff together (even stuff like the meat and cheese which wouldn't be ruined by the heat of the meat) wouldn't work because not everyone wants one ingredient or another, so it has to be made right then. Mixing after the order is made would take too long.
    I personally love the double tacos (because the crunchy taco can break all it wants, and the soft will keep it intact) and burritos. Both are easy to grab and eat, rather then worry about setting it on a table. Many of Taco Bell's more interesting meals like nacho supreme has to be eaten at a table with a fork to get it all. That's fine if you are going to eat once you reach your destination, but less useful for eating on the go.

    Tacos come in either hard shell or soft shell, diners' choice. The meat goes in first, then the vegetables and grated cheese on top. The reason that the meat and vegetables are not mixed is because people like to choose the veggies they want on the taco. Then, over the top goes the hot sauce. Most restaurants offer hot sauce choices, 3 or 4, depending on the degree of hot that people like. That's how you build a taco. And personally, I like the hard-shell tacos. And you learn how to eat them without the mess. From a guy in Texas.

    My love hate relationship with Taco Bell:
    back in the day , my favorite TB meal was the 7 Layer Burrito (good combo of Bean dip, Sour Cream , and Guacamole, dice tomatoes, shredded cheese , some lettuce,, & seasoned rice)
    now if you look online they will tell you they discontinued the 7 Layer because of stream lining . This is bullshit, they took all guacamole and avocado off their menu, due to the cost of avocados.
    now the best you can do is get the 5 Layer (which takes the shredded cheese off and adds in cheese paste ; keeps spicy rice, sour cream, bean paste, and some form of red sauce)
    over all my favorite is the Grilled Steak Burrito (this is the meatiest burrito on the menu,) most items dont contain meat, instead have a good to fair amount of bean paste.

    The "Supreme" versions have extra refried beans and sour cream where the regular versions don't have sour cream. you can get quacamole sauce added, but you have to pay for it. The chalupa flour tortilla is deep fried in butter flavored oil. It tastes as good as a flour tortilla from a taco salad or bowl (which are brushed with butter and baked). When I was in high school tacos cost 65 US cents. They're still cheap, less than $2. If you buy the 12 pack "Party pack" it's $15 or $17, I think...
    They forgot to provide them with Taco Bell sauce that make everything lots better. No one says "Bell Head", it has UK slang connotations to me (I know what a "bell end" is, btw. :))

    Meat on the bottom because it's hot. Cheese next, to kind of melt. Shredded lettuce and tomato on top to stay cool, temperature wise, and crisp. then sauce (like salad dressing). Love tacos. Put a flat, preferably flour, tortilla down on the paper wrapper to catch any dropped filling. If no flour tortilla is available, let the fallen filling drop onto the wrapper and eat it from the wrapper with more sauce, using a fork. Sounds complicated, but it's not.

    Yes, the meat is spooned on first then topped with lettuce, tomato and other toppings depending on what you get, that's how tacos are made, and yes, that's why you have to open your gob wide to take a huge bit of everything at once. Or, bite the lower meaty part then bite the "salad" part. And as others have said, you ALWAYS get sauce packets and pour it on top. Always. "Supreme" means with tomatoes and sour cream.
    Baja Blast is my favorite Mountain Dew flavor, "tropical lime." It's exclusive to Taco Bell but they sometimes release it to stores. You have to grab it before they run out.

    When I get Taco Bell (only if it's midnight or 1 am after Mexican restaurants are closed and I have a craving) I get the hard tacos. They're hit or miss with their sloppiness. Sometimes the damn shell is broken when you get the taco, but minimum wage workers=no f*cks given. So. I squeeze two packets of mild Taco Bell sauce into the taco. I open the shell a bit and the ingredients are usually glued to one side because of the refried beans or sour cream or the meat mix. I squeeze one packet on each side of the singredients to get an even diwtribution. I carefully bite on one end toward the bottom of the shell over the paper it was wrapped in to catch all the ingredients that fall out. You can then grab your second taco and unwrap it, open it up and pour in the stuff that fell out of the first one into the second one, sauce it up, and repeat...Or you can catch all the fallen ingredients on one wrapper and either eat it (with a fork) or pour that into your last taco and be careful not to spill anything. :)

    Yes, most Taco Bell items are layered. Taco shells can be either soft or hard, your choice. The crunchy ones are baked corn tortillas, the soft are flour tortillas.
    Crunch wraps are good but I always open them up first and put taco sauce on it (fire sauce). They're basically a flat taco.
    Taco Bell is cheap Americanized Mexican food. Which is to say it bears little resemblance to actual Mexican food but it's cheap and readily available.

    Here is a tip. When eating a taco, put a taco shell under it. Anything that falls out will go to the taco shell and then you pick it up and eat it. My two favorite things at Taco Bell is the Mexican Pizza and the Nachos Bell Grande.

    Okay here's the deal. I'm a sixty year old retired Chef and Chef instructor. Back when I was a teenager. Taco Bell was good! And I mean really good! But no more. Back in the late eighties early nineties someone in corporate decided that it would save them loads of money to Cook and prep all their food in a central facility and then freez it and ship it out to their multiple locations. It used to be that they made everything from scratch in each restaurant and the food was really good. Not anymore.
    So what you are actually paying for is pre cooked, pre frozen "meat" ( it's only 80% actual meat and a good portion of that 80% is " pink slime" which is a meat like paste made from the ground up connective tissues , cartilage and other animal byproducts that are usually found in dogfood. And the remaining 20% is fillers.) Back in 2011 Taco Bell was actually successfully sued because the percentage of actual meat in their so called beef was actually below the U.S. government requirements to even call something beef. Then their food only contained 36% actual beef and beef byproducts.
    And please understand this. Taco Bell IS NOT MEXICAN FOOD, NOR TEX-MEX. It's in a weird category all it's own. If you called it either of those here in Texas you'd either get laughed at or punched in the head depending on who you were talking to. It's garbage. But it's made to taste good. Especially for people who never knew how good it used to taste. It's still popular here in the States but then there are so many culinarily retarded people who were raised on nothing but McDonald's and other cheap garbage fast foods. So they have no idea about what real food is supposed to taste like.
    Taco Bell , the last two times I tried it just a few years ago, made me physically ill for the rest of the day. I couldn't even finish what I had bought and I was really hungry.
    Like I said I'm a chef. And I have no doubt whatsoever that I could take some rat meat and cook and season it perfectly that would have you licking your fingers afterwards. But you're probably going to be sick within just a few minutes. That's the reality of Taco Bell.

    You turn them and eat them from the side so you bite the top all the layers at once ,also eat over your wrapper so when your taco is done you have all the dropping to scoop up and eat

    Beef enchirito is the best. Comes with onions if you want veg crap on it but I have it without. Dump the hottest sauce you can handle on it. It's covered in sauce so you eat it with a fork - no mess.

    Tacos are made with the meat on the bottom and then the onions, lettuce, and cheese on top. Hard tacos can break apart, but that is half the fun of eating them.

  • @leahmollytheblindcatnordee3586

    If it was all mixed together, the salad part would not stay crisp. My husband and I kind of fight over the cinnamon twists. You might like the burrito supreme. Meat, sauce, tomato, lettuce, onions (if you want it), etc all wrapped in a softbread burrito roll. I love them. Plus there are sauces you can get to drizzle on over the tacos.

  • @hapymom13
    @hapymom13 Рік тому +1

    So truthfully Taco Bell cannot hold a candle to authentic. However they are good for a grab n go. And always get your sauce of choice. I personally go with tacos no lettuce and mild sauce, cinnatwists, and either root beer or Baja Blast (and Baja Blast is a Mountain Dew drink so its caffeine party!)

    secret to not shattering the shell on a taco. Even for hard ones, you put the ingredients in fresh and still steaming and let it sit for at least 5 minutes, in that time it will cool down to safe and melt the cheese if you used it, But it will also slightly soften the shell. Its when you use ingredients allowed to cool it can't really soften it and it shatters.

    • @Spokavriel
      @Spokavriel Рік тому

      I buy the hard shell taco because it is easier to dump it out and mix it. But they don't mix it because the heat of the meat makes the veggies wilt so that it is visibly less food.

    You can usually ask for extra ingredients for under a dollar, so you can alter the ratios to your heart’s content. :)) I’m a vegetarian, so I get my Taco Bell with beans instead of beef.

  • @jeffweaverLBC
    @jeffweaverLBC 3 місяці тому

    @L3WG you don't mix the salad in with the meat. Because you don't want the HOT meat to wilt the cold veg. There is this weird HARMONIOUS vibe that works with the way a taco is layered. And YES there is a difference between a hard shell taco (very Americanized) vs a soft shell (street taco).

  • @kimkacer782

    No, meat (that's hot) then cheese (so it's melty), then sauces/salsa/chopped tomatoes, then lettue, possibly more sauce. That is THE traditional 'recipe'. Taco bell is hit & miss.
    My Taco Bell "go to" order is:
    Cinnamon Twists x2 $1.00ea. $2.00
    Customized Steak Quesadilla Supreme (supreme means w/ sour cream & tomato) It comes w/ steak a 3 cheese blend & creamy Jalapeno sauce. I also add: Guacamole, extra steak, & chipotle sauce. Total: $9.64
    and I grab 2-4 each of the mild, hot & fire packets. Now I'm a 'flaver' gal, and either the hot or the Fire is crap. I THINK it's the hot, but I can never recall, so I put on the mild (I know it's good on flavor, and I use it to chill out the other good one that's more hot than the mild) It's not that I mind the heat as much as I want the flavor & dislike the distraction of a body part disintegrating - ok, feeling like it is. So I taste a drop of each of the other 2, determine the good one & the crap one, toss the crap one (return unused ones to bins they're stored in) , toss the good one on the quesadilla & dig in.
    If I'm really peckish (no, I'm American, but I am 54%(?) Maybe it's 56 or 58... they keep 'adjusting it' still, mostly. Mostly British, so I'm familiar ;) I might also grab a bowl of either the black beans or the pinto beans so that's another $2.39
    So, out 'on the cheap' I spend $11.64 worst case I spend $14.03
    Actually, I USUALLY have sour cream, Guac & tomatoes at home, so likely I really only spend $9.64 on the cheap, and $12.03 worst case... but if I'm not headed home... or I'm eating there.... oh, wait, sometimes I add lettuce too so + $0.60 if I do.

    I don't understand why you're so confused about layering your tacos. What kind of psychopath makes the meat, chops the lettuce, tomatoes, onions, gets the sour cream and salsa, and then just dumps it all in a bowl together and mixes it up and THEN puts it in a shell/bread? You don't even see that in a Mexican restaurant.

    If I find myself at a Taco Bell, I get the Cheesy Gordita Crunch. It's very satisfying and more-ish. We don't go to Taco Bell much anymore since there's a taco truck nearby that is TO DIE FOR, but we buy their brand of Fire Sauce in bottles to put on burritos we make at home. Now I'm hungry, so will make myself a cheese rollup with Fire Sauce (agree, why order that?).

    Not to be “that guy” but these “British kids eat American food” bits filmed in the U.K. are always a bit crazy-making because too many things are done wrong, and I’d say the food prep must be suspect. The way to eat Taco Bell is 1) use the drive-thru, 2) get a bag full of hot sauce packets, and 3) quickly pull into a quiet parking lot and eat everything while it’s still warm, with lots of taco sauce.

    Lemme help you with the art of eating a taco...
    Besides the 1st and last bites, ALWAYS take two bites before chewing it up. Go high then low. Then chew.
    Also... taco sauce is a must. Tacos are NOT the same with the sauce. At all.
    Bonus info... Taco Bell's menu items are "supreme" when they have sour cream and tomatoes added.

  • @AngelRose-jl5ow

    They don’t mix it because they’re not supposed to the mean is on the bottom because everything else is just toppings. That’s why it’s not mixed and there’s some things on the tacos. People like to take off let’s get a taco when you get something you don’t want on it you can just take it off the top.

  • @catherinejones5807
    @catherinejones5807 Рік тому +1

    All tacos are in layers with the meat first then the lettuce, cheese, tomatoes and the sauces. The contents are never mixed up.
    The best way to eat them is within the paper wrapper. It’s less messy that way.
    But real, Mexican-style tacos are amazing. Once you’ve had real Mexican food, you’ll never be satisfied with the Taco Bell versions ever again.

    You bite the top then bite the bottom so you have salad as y’all call and you get meat. It actually balances it out because the sauce is usually on top of the lettuce. So you kinda take two bites as one.
