I'm almost convinced Taco Bells are my mom's favorite restaurant. I use the term restaurant instead of fast food joint because she will choose TB over any sit down restaurant any day. I know there are not many sit down restaurants in North Vernon, but we were headed to Versailles and she still insisted on TB.
Dad schooled me and explained that they always run a meal deal that rotates about every month. At least I know Dad is getting variety, at least monthly. This month, the special includes a chalupa, taco, Dorito Locos taco and a drink for $5. I didn't want to copy and I wanted to try the XXL burrito. Beware, the XXL burrito is huge. It's literally the biggest burrito I've ever had and I've eaten many burritos in my days. If I'd have know that it was that huge, I wouldn't have ordered anything else. Guess what? I ordered more. I had to get my norm, the cheesy potatoes. I always request mine without sour cream. Seasoned, not greasy, with a dollop of nacho cheese, they are delicious! The Dorito Loco had been on my radar for months, but I was never forced to go to a TB since this slight craving. What a let down! We took the food to-go to take to my aunt's house about five miles away and by the time that we got there, the shell was soggy. The shell didn't taste like Doritos to me, sort of like the saltless generic version of Doritos.
We all ordered a ton of food, so I was impressed that they ALMOST got everything right. The ones in my party who ordered the meal deals, asked for soft tacos instead, but when we opened sit down to their meals, like me, they too were disappointed with their Dorito Locos. The Diet Mountain Dew were almost all carbonation, luckily Mom tasted it before we left and was able to exchange it. The young girl at the drive thru was sweet, but asked us if we needed sauce several times. I'm sure if we're given the same opportunity to chose from where to eat in the area, as long as Mom is with me, I will probably end up here.
One important mention, they give senior discounts. I think it's 10%, but that added up. Dad's meal deal turned out to be $4.50! read more
