Hello everyone, this is running on empty
Food review. Well, hello, ladies and gentlemen and everyone watching
This is running an empty food view and I am your host the report of the week. Oh
Boy, here we are
This is this is magnificent right now. I'm here. I'm in the middle of the void
That's all that I'm gonna call this because we got you know, it is in a literal sense a void
I'm kind of in-between space time right now and let's just not even get into it
Let's say this is usually the place where I am between reviews, but I decided you know what I just got to make this
Right now but I have this idea and I said I just want to do this
I was I was feeling ever so spontaneous and I said, you know
I'm gonna go grab the camera and I'm gonna start gonna start it up. So like you're seeing you're seeing in an emergency review brah
broadcast right here running on empty on the spot
Because I was thinking about Taco Bell and you know, look sometimes I have a bone to pick with Taco Bell, right?
Sometimes I have my issues with them. I I say, well, you know, I'm not really
I'm not feeling this item or that item and let's not even get started with the California Reaper thing
I'm never gonna let that one go but nonetheless, of course they are accessible
They have some good hours and it's one of those places. That was a that was a car peeling out that wasn't so far
It's it's this, you know, they have some good hours and all that good stuff
All right, I'm gonna check out their menu again and see what see what's of interest if anything, but Doritos Locos Tacos
It's been a staple of their their menu for years
It's one of those things like I thought that I did countless reviews on these. I was checking through the video catalog and there's nothing
What's going on, you know, but Doritos Locos Tacos there they were fan favorite people
People liked them, and I said, you know what?
How about how about we just see which one which one's the best which one's my favorite how they compare to each other?
So I got all three of them right here
here's the proof right here, you know the saying they say the proof is in the
The proof is in the pudding. Well the proof is in the
cardboard esque
taco
Holding devices so they have it my god all three of them
I even look at this I even went through the trouble to to mark what each one was on the
on a little wrapping their
organizational purposes
We averted disaster there
But there's three types. I guess the camera won't focus so we'll make it. All right
there's the Cool Ranch Doritos locos taco all of these have that one commonality right where it's a hard shell taco, but the shell is
A Dorito. It's like a a giant Doritos. Shell. It's not like just standard hard shell
So it's got that got a little more flavor to it
It's the best way to describe it and I got three types of them and I had this for years
But I I don't know what's going on. I just never got around to it if I got the Cool Ranch Doritos
locos taco
Which has beef lettuce cheese, you know like a standard
Hard shell taco and then it has sour cream in it. Hence the Cool Ranch
You know description there
also comes with
There's also the nacho cheese one, which is just like your standard your basic
Doritos locos taco which is just west cheese and beef with now that more pronounced
Doritos shell and then of course, they have the fiery one, which is pretty much the same
Of course, it comes with the lettuce the seasons beef and the cheese, but it has a spicy shell
All right. So we've got all three of them. I'm gonna try them all out this time
What I'm gonna do for time consolidation is I'm just gonna go on like I'm gonna go on an eating
Spree. All right, like you know how some of the people say like the
The Mukbangs, right like those
Well, it's not gonna be like that. What I'm gonna do is I'm just gonna go through one by one
I'm gonna start out with the nacho cheese one that I'm gonna go to the Cool Ranch and then I'm gonna go to the fiery
One I'm gonna take like two bites of each
rinse it out clean the palate with the Baja blast and
Then from there
I'm just gonna I'm gonna let you know what I think of each one and which one is my favorite
Now the price for this taco bell usually has some good deals going and this was no exception, right?
I got each one for about $2 it all came in one meal. So I got all three of them for six bucks adds
Baja blast and that's what we have
Well, let's just open them up first
We can just really get a good look at them and then we'll just get to the eating
I know that's what we all want to see and I want to get to it too. So
What do we have here
We got this one and this is the standard
Nacho cheese one right there
Nacho cheese
That one never gets old
All right. We got the Cool Ranch one
Right over here. Not the calls ranch one the Cool Ranch one
Right there later show, you know, you can kind of see right there
All right. We'll see if we can see that sour cream later on
you never got the fiery one, which my understanding should have more of like a
red
Shell not necessarily like firetruck redness quite I mean I bet there's like a fire truck somewhere. That's
Painted this shade of red but you can see look there it is. It's peeking out at you would say well
There we go
There's all three of them
I'm trying to hold them all up for you, but avoid disaster at the same time
All right, let's us do this for the heck of it right there like this
Good enough anyway, you know, it needs to be done. Look I'm just being honest with you. All right
with the world's loudest
Vehicle, maybe it's a UFO driving by
Lets us get around to him and let's try them out so first
Let's start off with the Nacho Cheese Doritos locos taco
Let's see what it tastes like and then we'll just move on to the Cool Ranch one and then to the fiery one
All right. Let's get to eating. It's the Nacho Cheese
Doritos locos taco from Taco Bell, of course
go in
I'm gonna reference us in a minute, but just take a look at this real quick
Let me see it that's my thumb
All right now let's rinse the palate out
That was the original one
Now, let's go over to the Cool
Ranch
Right. They're really gonna be looking for that sour cream
a
Little bit of cheese
Confetti esque spillage right there
Maybe I'm washing it off
Alright now lets us get right over to the fiery one
Right here let's just go for it
You know why they call them
Doritos Locos Tacos, right? I
mean we all have our theories we all have our
explanations and our guesses
You think it's because of the Doritos incident of 2012?
No, I think it's just because they have that
Partnership with Doritos for the shell and they kind of call them the Locos Tacos
Because supposed to be here like crazy with the flavor, right?
Or maybe it was because of the incident in 2012, but let's just let's not go there
All right. Well, what do they taste like? You know what I'll be straight up straight to the point here
I like them all. I mean, I really do I gotta say
Usually when I go to Taco Bell, I always get like the soft shell tacos. I get the the
Grillers, you know the nacho grillers and all that stuff. Sometimes those are lagging. I never really mike the hardshell tacos
I've just never been a fan of them, but I gotta give them credit here
You saw you saw what they looked like. I mean, these were actually loaded with toppings
I'm surprised maybe I caught them on a good day
But I think this is ideally how they all should be good amount of beef good amount of lettuce
Good amount of cheese its flavorful. It's got that good blend
We think that I like the most is that even though it's got that crunch that we sometimes like with it
It's got that firmness and that stability
It's not jagged and jabs into your teeth there any of that and it's not gonna ruin your mouth
I mean, maybe maybe it has so much that like all the nerves are already dead. And I just can't feel it
I don't think that's the case though. I think it's completely fine on my my precious teeth
but overall I mean
It's they're all great. I gotta give him credit right the nacho cheese one, right the shell is that's packed with that flavor
It's got that cheesy
crunchiness a
Little bit of saltiness there, but it's just great. Like I said, they're all packed with the toppings
They all taste good that way like really any hard shell taco from Taco Bell
Should the Cool Ranch one? You know, it's all in the show. Oh
That's the cat he's going nuts
He's on that. He's on that boost. He says, you know, how cats are not like that midnight energy boost right there
He's gone literally off the wall
I'll check on him after I'm done. It's got that flavor though in the shell, right?
It's like it's got this cooling like base up like it's cooling ranch right there. It's just it's amazing, honestly
These to me anywhere criminally underrated because I mean they're there's something else then the fiery one
It's got that spice. It's not overwhelming. I think honestly the fire sauce would probably be a good pairing with it
but to be honest that's got that spiciness like every single one of them has
exactly what you're craving what they market it to be and
I mean, maybe I said this before I really I can't believe I didn't cover these but I mean, these are awesome
Every one of them I'm gonna give an eight point eight point zero out of ten looks it deserves that rating
They're legitimately good and I'm a fan of them. I think when it comes down to hardshell tacos
from Taco Bell
I'm a fan of these
I think this is this is like a model for how they all should be my favorite of them all
it's got to be the fiery one looks I'm like my spice when it comes down to Taco Bell and
it's just it's like that good blend, you know, and
I'm just I'm like, I'm so surprised because sometimes I've had so many bad experiences
With Taco Bell at this one. It's just like it's so good. I'm like I'm
Delighted that's the only way to put it. That's all that I have for you
Ladies and gentlemen, I'm your host the report of the week and make sure you check out my new podcasts tomorrow
