Hello everyone, this is running on empty
food
Review I try to do a little bit of a more exuberant food review this time because because last time I kind of got you
And it was a very subdued intro so I decided to be a little more bombastic than usual
Also for a for a momentous occasion, uh, really a monumental occasion is what I was trying to say
Do you know what's in this bag and I want to give you a little bit of a second to try to?
Try to guess what's in here, you know
It kind of looks like it's seen better days, right? You know, what is that you see?
Whatever that says
Early well, what's early, you know, ask yourself. What do I think is early? What is this? And what about this?
You guessed it
Taco Bell has rereleased they're rolled chicken tacos
Now you might be saying oh, well, you might be saying two things number one. You might be saying
Well, you might be saying three things really you might be saying
All right. That's great
You know, I'm glad they got him back. You might be saying I don't care or you might be saying but review brah
Didn't you already review the rolled chicken tacos?
back in 2018 and
didn't you review them back in 2017 and
To add insult to injury didn't you review them in?
2016 review brah, didn't you?
Now, I don't know if you're as accusatory
but yes indeed I did and as a result I said
You know what? I've reviewed them for the last couple of years. I did do a review in 20 16 17 18
now it's 2019. I said may as well may as well just do a
New review of them. Maybe I'll do one in 2020 also if they come out I'll just do it every single year
but
you know, it's like one of those things it could almost be like a plot to a
like a pretty bad horror movie maybe like a I'm thinking like sharknado type
Where you know some storm sort of cataclysmic disaster happens. If you don't review the rolled chicken tacos. It's an interesting
and speaking of I almost knocked everything over but
Thanks for now. And now it's an empty bag except for some lonesome fire sauce
Yeah, we got the rolled chicken tacos also known as
Taquitos, but you know Taco Bell they just like to keep it simple
so they just call them the the roll to chicken tacos now, you can get these in a variety of
Little you know package deals
You can get a two-piece you can get a four-piece
You can get I think you might be able to get a six-piece also, you can get the party pack if you're feeling really adventurous
You think I'm living on the edge or if you want to just kind of test the waters out?
Metaphorically then I would say the 2-pack is is what's best for you there
But anyway are they're pretty much the same as they've they've been
As far as I understand it to be anyway. I always like to just try things out though
Because sometimes you know, the recipe can change it can fluctuate
I mean, you know how it is with fast food, especially, you know the quality
It's like a roller coaster
right
It goes up and then it goes down and then it goes up and then sometimes it just hits rock bottom and it stays there
So you never know sometimes a year makes a huge difference that it's like what the heck happened to this
I mean you could also say that in a good way too. But sometimes it's in a it's in a bad way. I
Mean anyway, yeah you so you got the the marinated chicken
This little you know
just little pieces of chicken in there and it's marinated then it's kind of putting this little
tortilla, then it's it's fried and that's what you have and then you're given these little sauces you can dip it in I
Consider it more like a like an appetizer a snack than anything else. So the sauce that they've really been pushing this time is they're
They're ranch. I believe they're spicy
ranch, so we'll try that out
But otherwise pretty inexpensive, I mean from my previous reviews. They were iffy. I think each review I had it
I kind of felt a little differently about it
but as far as I'm concerned, I always say treat it like it's an appetizer because that's the best way to
You know in terms of sustenance
Anyway may as well just get a couple tacos and they're going to get two of these great, you know for fun or whatever
I mean, you know, whatever you want to do with them. That's not my business, but
that's,
there it is
It's decently sized. Oh, you gotta give them credit there
There it is. There's the
tubular
Aspect of it. Let's see. Can we do some focusing on it?
Yeah, that's good enough. Let's see
There's the portal right there kind of if you follow that all the way it will lead you into another world
And there's the other
Entrance to the you can call it a portal or a tunnel or rather opening
know whatever you want to
Call it but you can see you know, it's uh, it's got the fried outer shell and then the chicken is what's in here
So what I'm gonna do is I'm just gonna try it. I don't let you know how it is this time around
I'm gonna try it out with the sauce as well
that's all that we got for you a
Little bit of a laid-back review and that's why I'm kind of joking around a little more. It's not really
Extra serious business because you've tried this many a time, but we'll see are they maintaining the standards here?
how is it this time around we'll find out and we'll get to all those uh
all those questions and much more
Alright the rolled chicken tacos from Taco Bell the 2019 Edition going in
I'm under gave me an idea honestly
Overall synopsis of them is that
One thing that really I can really taste this time around
Is that corn tortilla?
Obviously very very crunchy. That's how it's supposed to be though
Now I always recommend it being I mean that crunch you have a huge amount of crunch in this
You bite it. I mean you can you could hear that crunch
I bet those maybe my teeth are kind of shattering away to while that's happening. But I think it's just the crunch of the shell
But yeah, it's a really really crunching. Yeah, though. The interesting thing is that I've had this before
Where I've had it and it's like okay, you know, it's fried. It's crunchy
And then it's like the chicken on the inside is all dried out. You know, it's like this. I don't understand, you know
overdone garbage
But this time around I got to give them credit
honestly the chicken on the inside despite it being so crunchy on the outside and again
You can really taste that flour tortilla the corn tortilla. I despite it being so crunchy on the outside though
It still has softness on the inside and I have to give them credit
I could even the chicken still has a little bit of moisture to it. It's not like insists
Um, you know dried out like it's some sort of jerky or anything like that
It's uh, no, they still have some some moisture on the inside. So that's interesting anyway, and
otherwise
From what? I always remember and how it is this time around to its really really basic on its own
This is one of those items. I mean, you know, you know how it is sometimes
It needs a sauce. It needs a sauce accompaniment to really get it to that next level
Because otherwise the rolled chicken tacos, it would be totally unremarkable had there not be not have been any sort of sauce. So
That's why they have their spicy ranch
to save the day
And we're being really dramatic this time around there. You can see it's it's glistening
You can kind of see the spicy particulate matter right there
That's how that's the things that make it spicy
That's what they call them on the menu, too. You can say I want the ranch with the spicy
particulate matter
Promise. They're not gonna just look at you
Maybe they will cuz I made that up on the spot
Alright, there we go. Got a little bit
dunked in
We'll try it out. This. Is this the last time though this is what really made it
So, let's see here how it does this time around?
I was trying to think of some joke. We compare this to vanilla icing or something, but nothing good is coming to mind
Yeah, honestly I would say the rolled chicken tacos
they're maintaining the standards from last year, which is great because last year I was saying
On their own. They're okay. They're not bad
But they're unremarkable
but that spicy ranch sauce is what takes it to the next level and it absolutely does that spicy ranch sauce makes it
it gives it much much needed moisture and
Kind of it just gives you that little bit of that Tang that little bit of a kick from the spice, too
And this is the perfect blend of flavors
I got to compliment them on those spicy ranch because I'm not a big ranch fan either
You know, I don't even really get that much ranch dressing
I can't just go plain most of the time but with the rolled chicken tacos
It needs a sauce and this is the perfect sauce for it
I know that they have a couple others
But from what I've tried in the past and from what other people have been saying also those two don't really work
I mean if you like the nacho cheese you like the nacho cheese guacamole was terrible but
The thing that I say you have to get with this you can you can get the other sauces, too
But just my personal recommendation if you're kind of on the fence about getting a sauce with this
Get the spicy ranch because that's what really works. So I'm out of ten therefore. I mean, I think that they're pretty inexpensive
I think that they're a decent snack. Anyway, a decent little appetizer or something to get on the side
Uh, yeah, I mean, I think I'll just rate it as one whole meal
They're really good with the with the sauce and even on their own. They're kind of, you know unremarkable out of ten
I'll give these there you go
You know, give him a seven point three out of ten. Honestly pretty pretty good for what it is. Honestly, it's yeah, I
Can't complain it's the best way to put it that's that sauce is really what makes it for sure
And with that that's all that I have for you. Ladies and gentlemen
