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?

Have you tried explosive diarrhea? You will.
Try obtaining a Time Machine so that you can experience the menu from when it was good.
The Grilled Stuft Burrito, Grilled Stuft Nacho, the volcano burrito and lava sauce, the 1/2 lb cheesy potato burrito, the enchirito, the loaded grillers, the double layer taco, the chilito.
So many good menu items lost to time
Five. Layer. Burrito.
Definitely the Mexican Pizza. Drizzle w/ at least 2 packets of your preferred sauce (Diablo for me), and enjoy!
For the same price, you could go to a restaurant and eat a real meal
Chalupas are delicious.
Exit the taco bell and go to a nice resurant you’ll pay the same anyway
Exactly. Read the OP’s question in the title and immediately thought the answer is “Literally any other restaurant.”
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.
Their veg options are some of the better ones in fast food if they haven’t jacked up their prices around you. Potato taco, cheese quesadilla, bean and rice burrito are all good enough options for fast food
You can swap out meat for beans on any of their items. Taco bell is the best fast food option for vegetarian folks
Cheesy Gordita Crunch
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.
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.
Ooh baby. Try next the chalupa and Mexican pizza
If you eat meat, the breakfast crunch wrap supreme is made my angels.
If Taco Bell ever releases a Breakfast crunch wrap supreme with impossible sausage, I will eat it 5 days a week and balloon to 400 pounds.
when they are available, the nacho fries are incredible also.
Mmm MSG fries
(Don’t get me wrong I like them too but let’s be honest here, they almost have as much MSG as KFC fries)
What is wrong with MSG? Seriously.
Nothing in the right quantity, I use it in my own cooking when I need more umami in a dish.
There are old studies out there that said it was a problem ingredient (hence “no MSG” labels all over different foods), but those have been largely debunked due to racial bias.
In excess, the MSG flavor tends to linger, which can be annoying sometimes.
