I sent this as a emial to my friends ealier, thought you guys might be interested too.
I did a Taco Bell Crunchy Taco Taste Off challenge during lunch and here are the results. I did nothing but hard shells and only complemented them with Fire Sauce. The tacos are assigned scores of 0-5, with 5 being the best. I will comment on Value and Presentation, but as the challenge name indicates scores are based solely on Taste.
Winner (4.5)
Blackjack Taco.
Wow Taco Bell has a winner on their hands. By far the best taco when compared to the others, and would easily hold its own against the Crunchy Taco Supreme. Also the cheapest coming in at 89 cents. It has the best presentation with the all black shell and contrasting white cheese and pepper jack sauce.
Runner Up (3.8)
Classic Crunchy Taco
This thing is always good, especially when you put way too much sauce on it. Coming in at 99cents when you compared it to a McDouble this always makes for a difficult lunchtime decision.
Second Runner Up (3.5)
Volcano Taco
You know sometimes you just want a Volcano Taco no matter what other options you have and that’s cool with me. The Volcano is good, it doesn’t require you to add that much additional hot sauce, and if you are like me you usually “save” it till the end. Great presentation in the all red shell, but it comes in a little low on value, being the only taco tested that “brakes the buck” offered at $1.29
Last Place (3.0)
Classic Crunchy Taco Fresco Style
Whenever you modify a item at The Bell the cashier automatically knows you mean business and rightfully suspects that you may eat here more than once a week. I don’t know what it is about this taco, sometimes I love it sometimes I don’t. It wasn’t in my good graces today, but that’s not going to stop me from ordering it next time. I also think that it is one of the lowest calorie items at Taco Bell so it usually makes a great “side item” on top of your usually order. Value and presentation is good. Currently sold for 99cents.
