Hello everyone, this is running on empty
food review
Well, hello, ladies and gentlemen and everyone watching. This is running on empty food review
I am your host the report of the week. Hope you're staying safe. Hope you're doing okay. And
Here we are with another
review
You know venturing out a little bit. Well kind of went picked it up
I actually just got in but you know this time I wasn't running around but running around like a mad lad as they say
trying to set everything up because if you remember back to the
Pizza review that I did for the Little Caesars one
Which it was actually the cheeser cheeser one and I messed up with the pronunciation there
but you know, I was going nuts I was
You know going crazy like that. But this time I'm better. I kind of set up in advance. So no need for urgent
Frolicking around and getting out of breath for nothing
But I did just get in. I even have my mask that I had to wear when
when I went to pick it up, I
Recommend, you wear one. Keep safe stay safe. It's up to you. But you know easy to wear just put it on
And like that. Well, there you go. Just like that easy keeps you safe. And
keeps other people safe, too, but
Not a joke anymore. Not a joke or anything just always wear one when I go out
Hope you're staying safe either way and into the review
the flamin hot
Doritos locos taco
Number one. I got a give Taco Bell credit because I had a feeling, you know, different places are kind of doing different things
Right now it's like alright
Some places are releasing new items
Other places aren't and I thought to myself I bet Taco Bell
I bet they're gonna push through with something because you know
Taco Bell, they're always pumping out some new item here new item there and that's what I like about them though because
Taco Bell, right
There hit or miss
Alright some things. It's like wow, this is insanely good others
Not so much
But you just know if they missed the mark on this one you could count on them to release something
In near future and maybe that'll be a hit
So I always always like how they're always making new items pumping out new stuff and it's always affordable, too
But this one just by the sound of it. I have high hopes for
Now, who knows? I mean, maybe I'll be vomiting it up on camera
For your viewing pleasure
I really hope that'll never happen
But you know, I can't predict the future. I don't have a crystal ball. I just have baja blast and
This is a flamin hot Doritos locos taco, but it sounds good because I have always been a big fan of the Doritos Locos Tacos
I've just really liked it, you know where it's the hard shell taco and the shell is like made out of that kind of Doritos
Esque material but it at least has that similar flavor and this is supposed to be the spicy hot variant
so
of course the shell it's supposed to be like hot Doritos and then it also just has their standard seasoned beef lettuce and
cheddar cheese now price for this
It's a pretty good deal because here's what it comes with right and to get you
But I'm fine with this because I I like to get with a drink anyway, you know, it's like yeah, this is great
This is right up my alley
You get the taco?
Right by itself. The taco is like a dollar 85, um, two dollars right around there just for the taco
But then they say hey after two bucks, like let's say it's like a dollar eighty a dollar ninety by itself for two bucks
Get this get a medium drink
All right good enough and
You'd be smiling because you're supposed to be happy and you got I got I got maybe a potential
Thumbnail there and I'll say it outright, but that's supposed to be ones
Reaction that they hope to to get from you as well
So yeah, drink taco combo good price and hopefully it'll be good. Hopefully, it'll taste good
Pretty self-explanatory and again, you know the volcano gods
Wrong gone wrong. I'm just I'm thinking about the volcano. I wish they brought that one back. I really do
but the fire gods they stop for nothing and
see how if it sets my mouth on right to be all that's why we're the blue tie and
He's racing to get these tacos because he's hearing me talking about them. But I wore the blue tie to kind of cool the flame
Silly I know
Right, let's get into the good stuff. How about it
There it is
See there's the seasons beef you could see the lettuce the cheddar cheese comes in its own little shell right Doritos Locos Tacos
Taco
Right there there it is kind of peeking out it's a day huh? What's up, you know kind of going like this. What's up, right?
So what that's what it does. That's how the taco is communicate
actually, a lot of people don't know that but they have, you know, limited vocabulary, but they kind of
tilt up like that is
greeting usually
There I am with it
You can see it up looks pretty good. It's pretty good. It's like a good hard shell taco
okay, we're just gonna get into it and
with that
On one last note before we just get right into the review back in its little holder back in the taco
Cradle as I call it
We'll see what we do with this consumption sequence because I got emergency dental work done on Monday
And it was tough to find a dentist in this pandemic, but found the really good one. There's an issue with that
Tooth right there
One of the front ones right in the front had to get a root canal and a crown and I have the temporary crown on
And we'll just see what um
We'll just see what happens. I just want to be careful with it sound a you know
destroy it and do whatever but a smooth procedure feeling much better and
With that we'll take a couple bites and if I have to pause it and whatever I'll do that
But we'll take a couple bites for the camera. Alright flamin hot Doritos locos taco from Taco Bell. Looking forward to it going in
It soft enough I could eat it without pausing it. Yeah
If that's all that you needed to know you
Know double thumbs up kind of go now. It's just the one thumb up
and we're gonna forward twice like that, you know, so you know what that means I
Think I just I don't know that really got me it's like I do that in every video when I never do!
This is great, I'm a big I'm a big fan of it. I gotta say
And look
I'm usually a
Soft taco person. That's how I've always been. I always just get like the softshell taco. It's from you know, the Taco Bell
This is fantastic
and a
Lot all the time we talk about I could I could be very finicky. I could be like I
Have this issue. I haven't know. I mean I am a fan of this one
I've always liked the Doritos Locos Tacos
And this is this is really good because I'm like that spiciness now if you like the spicy stuff
I think you're gonna like this and if you like the Doritos Locos Tacos, I think you're gonna like this
because
Right. The shell is like
It always hits the mark
number one
It's got that right amount of crunch to it and it's comfortable in so much that of course
It gives that little bit of crunchiness that's stability, but I can eat that with a temporary crown on right now
And you didn't shatter. It didn't break. I'm not an excruciating pain. It's fine
Um, the seasons beef is great good amount of it very flavorful
like the little coolness that the lettuce has
The cheddar cheese. Always that hits that a little bit of
cheesiness, you know the cheese
Sauce, of course is over these cheese here, but still the little strips don't uh, it makes its mark, you know
But the best part, of course it's in it's all in the shell
That's the thing. It's like there's jalapenos on it or special sauce
The spiciness and the heat is all in the shell. That's why it's red and it's not just like the show
I mean, it's really spicy
Not that this is like
You know gonna make me go and you know, run over to the body of water there and start, you know
Dunking my head in full-blown because my mouth is on fire or something. You know, it's not at that level right now
but
It's great. It's like you have that blend where it really is like, you know the spicy
Doritos
It's like Doritos chips, right? It always has a flavor down. It's so similar to those Doritos chips
Still have a little bit of like
Not quite cheesiness, but it's just got the spice to it. That's us baked in in every bite
There's also this little spicy powder on the outside of the shell as well
so not only is it kind of embedded in but there's also that extra spiciness on the outside and
The heat it's not overwhelming but it's present and it's a something that you get in every single bite. Literally
I mean it is in the shell. So I think it's pretty simple. It's a pretty simple item
We're gonna pour some fire sauce on it now just to spice it up a little bit. But I'd say it's a pretty simple item
Sometimes though. I say simplicity is key
Sometimes places that go over the top with the sauce and this ingredient and kind of make it this grandiose
Item that it doesn't need to be that you know
Sometimes you take a simple thing
Not just four components the cheese the lettuce leaf and the shell and it's great
No, I don't have any complaints with it. I mean, I'm very satisfied with this item to tell you the truth
And I like how the lettuce
balances it out a little bit with a little bit of coolness in it, you know, and of course you could always quench the
quell the flames with some drink if you want
Not obligated to ever get a drink with it, but it's a good combo
And the fire sauce just adds that little bit of extra spice
You know now I kind of feel out it's like a lingering spiciness with the extra sauce
So these things you can do to even bring it up to the next level if you want
Um, but overall, I'm very satisfied with the flamin hot Doritos locos taco. I like it
I've always liked the Doritos Locos Tacos. And uh, I'm really I'm proud. I'm proud to Taco Bell
They did good now. They really did. I like that they brought this item out
Tastes good. It's really what I was kind of looking for. So out of 10. I'm gonna give it a 9 out of 10
No, for Taco Bell, I mean they did a good job. I
Really? I really liked it. So go out and get it if you want
Or you could stay in and get it
I know they have GrubHub. But now that does the delivery too stiff you kind of want to do the social distancing and stuff
Then get it delivered bring it right to your doorstep - and you're good to go
So with that for two dollars, I think it's a I think it's good
I'm like it and that's all that I have for you
Ladies and gentlemen, I'm your host the report of the week today's reviews for the flamin hot Doritos locos taco
From Taco Bell. Thank you and take care. Please. Be safe and I see you in a couple days with another video
