We Tried EVERY Food At Taco Bell

What is the best thing on the entire Taco Bell menu? Let's talk about that.

♪♪

Good Mythical Morning.

For years, on this gut check format, we've been trying every flavor of everything you could buy in your local grocery store. But now, Taco Bell has inspired us to live mass and try even more of everything, like everything on the Taco Bell menu.

Yes, it's time for Gut Check, Taco Bell edition.

Today you'll be tasting 37 different items on the Taco Bell menu. We got you everything as it comes off the menu,

except we removed tomatoes for you, Link.

Thank you.

Of course. And as a palate cleanser, you have water straight from the Taco Bell soda fountain.

Yummy!

Does it have a little bit of pink lemonade in it when you press it a little bit

and you get a little bit in there?

Oh, you better pay for that. You're gonna have to pay for that in hell. Also, I've been told that we are not having any breakfast items, we're not having any sauces, and we're not having any drinks. They got lots of drinks there, okay? This is everything else.

Okay.

Gut check, engage the gut.

And also not like any limited edition things. This is straight off the regular menu. Okay. And we're beginning with tacos, starting with the soft taco. Just the...

Now I'm a Taco Bell fan. I don't know if I'm gonna be at the end of this, but coming into this, even in a town where you really have great tacos, Taco Bell is something different. A category all its own, and sometimes you gotta have it.

I'm excited because I have this like a boring go-to, and I'll tell you when my things come out. I need to expand my Taco Bell palette a little bit, but I'm giving this classic ground beef softy an 88.

Whoa!

Out the gate, 88!

Yeah, it's good.

I like it, not that much. I'll give it a 79. Okay.

Spicy potato soft taco.

What?

Never had it. Okay. There's just spicy french fries in there.

Lot of starch. 53. I'm giving that a 31. Oh, spicy french fries in there. Lot of starch. 53.

I'm giving that a 31.

Cantina Chicken Soft Taco.

Cantina Chicken. So the cantina's got, hmm, cabbage. Little cabbage, pulled chicken. It's a little too fancy for Taco Bell.

It's good, though fancy for Taco Bell. It's good though.

70. 80.

Crunchy taco.

Look at that.

It's not as crunchy as it was when they got it right from the store. 65. 65.

71. Cantina Chicken Crispy Taco.

That cantina chicken, boy, they really try to fancy it up.

But what is it? What's happening? Did I just repeat myself?

No. It's like pulled chicken. Fancy chicken. The chicken's good. But what's a cantina?

50.

What makes it a cantina? I don't know, it's a place where like,

bands play in Star Wars.

61.

Nacho cheese Doritos Locos Taco.

Oh, look at that orangeness. I don't care, man. I don't care what you think. I like this. You think people hate on this? People think it's dumb, but it's been on the menu ever since they introduced it for a reason.

81. 83.

What?

It's got layers, man.

Got that flatbread, got that sauce. There's cheese in the middle of it.

Got that.

I like the layers.

It's got that shell that really maybe shouldn't be there. It's like a geology thing. 84. Like a geode? No, it's just like sedimentary, you know what I mean? It's like a geology thing. Mm. 84. Like a geode? No, it's just like sedimentary, you know what I mean?

It's like the Grand Canyon.

77. Doritos Cheesy Gorita Crunch Nacho Cheese.

What? I didn't even know about this. I mean, of course it's a thing. It's all about combinations.

And recombinations.

Oh, man.

And there's a different kind of sauce in the layer.

This is a gordita? Say it again?

What? Doritos Cheesy Gordita Crunch Nacho Cheese.

Did you know about this? With nacho cheese. Heck no, I didn't know about this. 86. The nacho cheese part's what's pulling me back a little bit. 72. But the nacho cheese is the flavor of the Doritos.

Oh, it was? It's not nacho cheese. 79. Oh, okay. Well, I mean, I don't wanna sway you. It might have nacho cheese, but I didn't think it did.

Nope. I didn't think it did. Chalupa Supreme.

What's a chalupa? Because Link thinks that, he said it before we started, he said everything's the same at Taco Bell. Chalupa's different than a gordita.

Chalupa is a traditional Mexican entojido, which is a snack, consisting of a fried boat-shaped or flat, thick masa, which is corn dough. It's different. A shell traditionally topped with salsa cheese and shredded lettuce or chicken.

It's a fried cornbread versus a flatbread. That bland corn thing that I like. Makes it feel more authentic.

62.

76.

Black bean chalupa supreme.

That sounds like a poem.

I didn't know they had black beans at Taco Bell.

But of course they do.

They're good, but I don't think Taco Bell should have black beans. They don't need to keep adding ingredients, they just need to keep recombining existing ingredients. 42. I still like it.

65. All right, we're moving on from tacos to burritos. Oh, yeah.

Starting with the bean burrito.

Oh, yeah.

This is a class ick. This is my go-to. Mostly because it feels a little bit healthy.

And it's still good. Is it though?

It's probably the healthiest thing on the menu besides a salad or something. Beans are great for you. Oh you like beans, huh? It does taste good, but I'm looking for something to sink my teeth into that's just not gonna

spurt out and be brown. 48! That hurts... badly that you gave that a 48. I'm sorry, son. It's almost gonna be difficult to remain your friend.

You want me to give it a... But I've overcome a lot already, so... Let's see, um... I'm trying to think about my predisposition about beans. I don't want it to color things too hard because there's things I've had that are definitely better than that.

I get this because it feels like a better choice sometimes. So I'm just gonna land at 75.

Cheesy bean and rice burrito.

Oh yeah.

Hmm.

Boy, that rice does so much for it. Kind of moves it up. I might be in 55 now.

Oh, God.

That is really good.

It's so balanced.

80.

Where's the meat? I'm leaving room for the meat.

Burrito Supreme.

Oh, yeah. Burrito Supreme. Oh, yeah.

Burrito Supreme. It takes me back, man. Now we got some stuff in there. Sour cream. Lettuce, though. Wet, soggy...

That's part of the Taco Bell taste, though. Lettuce just buried in that goop. Soggy lettuce, man. It adds to the essence. I'm back at 47. 84.

Beefy five-layer burrito.

Beef? Whoa, look at those layers. That's beautiful. Mm. Beefy.

I don't know exactly what the five layers are, but it's good. I don't know exactly what the five layers are, but it's good. I like layers.

I'll bump this up to 70. Gut, man, don't think you're thinking too hard.

Cheesy double beef burrito.

Double beef.

What? Hmm.

Feels like a lot of rice to me, actually. Is there like another tortilla in that,

like a corn thing happening?

Hmm.

It almost tastes like a double layer. I liked it, though. 74. 62.

Cantina Chicken Burrito. We're back at the cantina. Oh, 74. 62. Cantina Chicken Burrito.

We're back at the cantina.

Oh, you stinker. This is Taco Bell trying to get in on the chipotle thing, but way too late, because nobody cares about chipotle anymore. You think the cabbage holds up better than the lettuce? And the, you know, it has more of a texture to it.

Chicken's nice. I like it, but it feels like too much of a departure for me, 67. 81.

Grilled cheese burrito.

What?

This is such a thing. Oh look, it's like on the outside it's got cheese. See now that's the type of cheese I'm talking about. Leave that nacho cheese for your mama. You give me that layer of grilled thickness.

Mm-hmm. That's a good burrito.

The grilled cheese burrito? We are pretty sure you've had it on the show before.

Oh, yeah. 89. We did have it on the show before, but I think that one was maybe overdone. Remember that? We saw it and it was on the...

Mm-hmm, it was over grilled. What's your gut say?

87.

Oh, black bean grilled cheese burrito.

Black bean.

It's still good.

Same thing, a little bit of beans, but we're missing beef out of that. You replaced the beans.

Black beans replaced the beef, yeah.

Right. 73. 73.

And that concludes the burrito category.

We're doing good. We're still in this.

You still feel the same way about Taco Bell?

Are you back?

I'm, I think I'm coming back.

Now we're moving on to specialties, sides, and desserts. Starting with the Crunchwrap Supreme.

Oh, give me a second.

I mean, this thing is just, it's unlike, it's geometrical. It's got that lettuce in it that you don't like though. It's not as crunchy as it was a moment ago. But I'm imagining, I know what that's like. You'll get a bite that has a lot of tortilla in it because of the folds.

But it's beautiful.

81, 81.

I'm gonna go with 77.

Black bean Crunchwrap Supreme.

These black beans are confusing me. I just didn't know about it. I mean I've seen the menu a lot, I've never noticed it.

Mm-mm.

Just not doing it. 53-mm. Just not doing it. 53.

72.

Mexican pizza.

Oh, no, your wife.

Shout out to Christy, my love. She lives. She lives for this.

She posts on social media about this thing.

It's good, man.

I don't even really know what's in it. I don't know what I just tasted.

But I'm gonna give it an 84. A lot of bean happening. A lot of cheese happening. There's no meat that I could find anywhere. I love Christy, but I don't wanna get in her way. I like to stay away, let her have that.

That could be her thing.

It's got beef in it. I'm looking at it right here. Okay, yeah, there's beef in it.

Yeah, there's beef.

I'm worried about your marriage.

If you don't do this right.

Now, this one doesn't have beef.

I'm getting tired. 49. 81. Mini taco salad. In what, though?

Bless you!

I'm allergic to salad.

I'm gonna skip this round. So that big ol' crunchy thing... That's not as crunchy as it used to be. That held the salad. That's fun. Sometimes... My mama used to get a taco salad.

And then she would break it off and give you that and that's what you'd eat. Just the little crumbling. She usually gave me my own meal as well. You little crumb snatcher. 39.

This is one of the first ones that I dislike a little bit more Oh, 39. This is one of the first ones

that I dislike a little bit more than I like.

48.

Cheesy roll-up.

Oh! Keep it simple.

Look at that. It's for the kids.

I mean, this is like a cheese quesadilla with the lowest level of effort. But it's just tortilla and cheese, which are two great things. It could be better, but. 29.

I definitely don't dislike it, 62?

Beefy potato loaded griller.

Loaded griller.

Who's getting potatoes? They're seasoned well, so it does add a little dimension, but who would starch? Make your shirt stiff. I like the taste of it, but I'm not a huge fan of the potatoes.

Another bite of that would be hard.

49.

56.

Three cheese chicken flatbread melt.

Oh gosh, boy, I'm hurting a little bit.

I think I'm getting close to what I typically,

total volume that I would eat at a Taco Bell run. This one has the chunks of chicken, not that cantina pulled fancy stuff. This is my jam. Big old chunky chicken. 70, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, four.

67.

Chicken quesadilla.

This is the classic. And this is my go-to. I always get this. Got the chunky chicken. It's got a little bit of the sauce. It's flat. It comes in that plastic,

it has a plastic window on it. So you know what you got. When you reach in there, your hand gets all steamy, you pull it out.

Mm-hmm.

The chunky chicken is nostalgic.

Yeah.

But I don't think it's as good as the shredded chicken. It tastes like its own thing. It doesn't taste like chicken. It tastes like Taco Bell chunks. 75. I love that.

75.

89.

Steak quesadilla.

Oh, steak.

You can get steak in there?

Mm-hmm.

I wanna get some of that steak.

Mm. The steak. Mm.

The steak is good.

Mm-hmm. Mm.

I think it's better than chicken.

79? 80?

Eight.

Whoa, what bite? You're back.

One less than the chicken.

Cheese quesadilla. Okay, a're back. One less than the chicken. Cheese quesadilla.

Okay, a bit boring. Don't need to eat much of that. That's fine, but once you shove chicken or steak in there,

you don't need to go back to this. Sometimes this really hits the spot. 74.

60.

Cantina chicken quesadilla.

Okay, see this is the one that I'm against. See, I didn't know this was happening there. Don't forget about nostalgia. It does taste really good. That's what I'm here for. Um... 85.

This is an improvement upon the original.

87. Nachos Bel Grande.

I always was suspect about people who got nachos at Taco Bell. Why? I don't understand. It makes no sense at all. Well, try it out. Nachos are a beautiful thing.

They're shareable.

They're piled high.

You can customize the bite. But it's just not what I want from Taco Bell yet. I want something, I want it wrapped. I just wanna unwrap it, I wanna shove it in my mouth without having to look at it. I wanna drive down the road,

one hand shoving this stuff in my mouth. 56. 42.

Veggie bowl.

In a spoon. It's all in there.

That's a big spoonful too.

Yeah, that's why I didn't do the whole thing. I for sure thought you wouldn't do it.

I did it.

Well. If I'm taking a run to the bell,

I'm not there for the bowl.

Speaking of take a run, where are we gonna be running after this? We got some Pepto, set aside with our names on it. Taco Bell doesn't really have that impact on me. Retto and Linktoe.

I hope.

I don't care for this, 22. Yeah, it's not great, 31.

Cantina chicken bowl.

Okay.

See, now that's a chunky piece of chicken.

I think I left the chicken on though. Same thing as before, except the chicken. I lipped it, I lipped it. 38.

41.

Cheesy Fiesta potatoes.

This is for somebody who just wants the potatoes. Y'all be getting just potatoes? Nobody's doing that. French fries. 30. 40.

They taste good.

Chips and Nacho Supreme Dip. 30. 40. It tastes good.

Chips and nacho supreme dip.

Man off-camera laughing.

Man off-camera laughing.

Man off-camera laughing. I thought better of it.

Ah.

Can we do it? Can we get through this? I can do it. I am slowing down.

48. Don't slow down. 48.

Don't slow down. Let's get it over with.

50.

Speed it up. Cinnamon twists.

Oh yeah, here we go. I feel like I got a palate cleanse before that. Cinnamon twists are a fun little airy treat. It revives consciousness in those that have gotten sleepy from the bell. I cling to it as a lifeline.

And I give it an 82. 75, 75. I'm not going 80s for those.

Cinnabon Delights.

What?

Oh.

Oh no. of undelights. What? Oh. Oh.

Oh no.

Man.

Couldn't eat the whole thing.

Woo!

That's what I should've given the twist, man. That's better than a twist. It is better. See, I was telling you, man, you gave an 80 to that. This has got stuff on the inside. That's an 80.

85.

Well, sorry we made you taste all those, I'm talking about stuff on the inside. That's an 80. 85. Well, sorry we made you taste all those, but congratulations, you've now tasted the whole Taco Bell menu.

Yes, we did it!

You might be thinking to yourself, I don't want another newsletter, Rhett. Well, hey, sorry.

We didn't say anything about newsletters.

Hey, who's talking about newsletters?

We're not talking about newsletters.

Just us. Because listen, sometimes they're useful, especially when you can be the first to know about merch drops, exclusive offers, new content, and more. Plus you can get 10% off your first merch order over at mythical.com when you sign up today. We sweetened the deal a little bit.

So go over to mythical.com slash newsletter newsletter to make all your dreams come true. All right, we have in no particular order our top four vote getters. Chicken, cantina chicken quesadilla.

Okay.

Steak quesadilla, we're the quesadilla boys today.

Just a soft taco, really made it up there through the whole time and the grilled cheese burrito. I know you're not too happy about this being here. What I will say is that.

It's a classic, though.

I get the soft taco, again, I get it because I feel like, well, I get the chicken soft taco, because I feel like it's the healthy choice. There's nothing wrong with this, it's been on the menu forever. It's great.

It's a bit boring now that we got this to go to. Look at... how much this thing is... Somebody didn't run the knife through this one as hard as they needed to.

But it's stuffed so...

thick.

Like, this thing's got some... That thing's got some thick chick in it. Really, I'm trying to figure out between the cantina chicken and the steak quesadilla. This may be changing my mind, that this cantina chicken is like

perfect for the quesadilla. The steak is good too, though. I gotta stop eating. This is too much Taco Bell. It's all of it. We went all the way, dude.

Okay, I think the chicken cantina is better. Agreed. Because of the cheese. Tell me about the cheese. This thing right here. Look at this.

This is really a wild card for us, out of nowhere.

So it's got, it's grilled, it's like a cheese quesadilla, but then it's rolled up with meat, sauces. There is another crunchy shell in there, isn't there? And rice. No, I think that's just cheese. I mean, I can't believe.

What is that red, what is this red stuff? That no beans made it to the finals. I can't believe.

What is that red, what is this red stuff? That no beans made it to the finals. No, look, this is, this is a, um. Pepper.

What is this stuff?

Those are fiesta strips, I think. Fiesta strips, yes. Oh, little pieces of tortilla. That's not necessary. But you didn't even know they were there. But it just gives it a little bit of a corn taste,

which to me is a demerit.

What?

Corn taste is a demerit at a Mexican restaurant? On a flour tortilla.

I like it. But.

I really like the consistency of it though. Now that I've tasted everything. It's thick, it's heavy. I know this isn't part of the rules. I feel like none of the things that I would say are my, even though I gave this the highest score, I think, of anything, in retrospect,

I really think that that cheesy gordita with the two tacos inside of each other, I think that's the best thing, but it didn't make it up here.

Well, that's on you.

So I'm gonna.

Let's get rid of the soft taco. I agree with that. Let's put the steak taco in place number three. Then it's really just a question of are we throwing everything but the kitchen sink at number one or are we going with elegant stuffed flatness? I feel like this might be too much of a gimmick

to put at the top. Once I discover those strips, I had to do that.

Grab it.

Okay. It is time to crown the loved moss meal.

The best thing.

I'll knock that. The best thing that you can get at Taco Bell, according to these boys, is the Cantina Chicken Quesadilla.

Yes sir.

Boop. Boop.

Bang!

What a pregnant pause. That must be a big baby. Thanks for commenting and sharing this video.
