Taco No!



We bring you another review from our friends at Taco Bell. Today's review, the Volcano Taco...


So, I guess an in effort to bring out something fun, different, and gimmicky. Taco Bell unleashes the Volcano Taco! A red fiery, spicy taco which is supposed to have your mouth smokin! Based upon the commercials they run with people having smoke coming out of their heads. Placed on Taco Bell's value menu, you can't go wrong for just a mere 0.89 cents. At first glance, it's red all right. A hard red shell, meat cheese, and lettuce and the infamous volcanic sauce. JP took the first bite, and didn't seemed pleased. I took a bite, and it only took one bite for each of us to totally dislike this taco. At first bite, it's sort of bland and then it just gets really hot. Not even a flavorful hot. Just plain old set your mouth on fire. Taco Bell offers other
regular tacos at the same price, and I can tell you they taste a lot better. So, skip the gimmicks and just buy a regular taco. This was not Bangin at all! Sorry Taco Bell.

So save your money and pick something else worth your while. This gets two thumbs down from the Banginfood Team.

Taco, Well....

I know most of our posts on here have been about Bangin food and you might think that we never run across any bad food. Well, here's one you'll enjoy.

This is a perfect example of the good ole "bait and switch" marketing trick. Now, I know that we can't expect our food to look just like the pictures that we see on the TV commercials and magazines, but they should at least look CLOSE to what the photos represented.

Case in point: Taco Bell.

I went a while back to get a Crunchwrap Supreme because their commercial made it look sooo delicious and everyone eating them just looked so happy.

This is what I
thought I was going to get:


Instead, this is what I got:



Not Bangin at all!

The Crowd: Booooooooooooo!

I didn't laugh or smile while I ate it. I didn't create little silly descriptions like "scruncheesy" or "crunchobunchowey" like the people on the commercial. I felt so ripped off. At the most, it was tolerable. The stuff they filled it with wasn't really identifiable because it was all slopped inside like they all stood around it with ladles and tongs and constructed it on the count of three. I really don't have high standards when it comes to Taco Bell, and I argue with anyone who knocks TB. They didn't get the thumbs up on this one. Sorry TB.

If you run across a restaurant trying to pass subpar cuisine on to you, snap a pic and email it to us at banginfood@gmail.com . We'll be sure to post it along with your name so you can be a Banginfood celeb for a day :-)
