After hearing via commercial or a billboard on the road that Taco Bell had a new Doritos Locos taco, with my favorite flavor (Cooler Ranch), I had to try it out. Even though we eat relatively healthy and stay away from most fast food, we don’t mind cheating, if you want to call it that. So, late night one night last week, we drove to the Taco Bell in town for some treats. It’s challenging for Alana because she has a sensitive stomach for low quality and greasy food… and she’s a vegetarian. But she’s a good trooper and more or less went to make me happy.
So I splurged a little and got a Doritos Locos Taco Cooler Ranch, one normal and one supreme, a half a pound chicken and potato burrito, a bean and cheese burrito, and a churro. Unfortunately, they didn’t have any churros so they gave us a marshmallow cookie sandwich and two apple empanadas. By the way, we asked for some hot sauces and they gave us about 10 of each. Let me say that I have no idea what the macros were on this meal, but the amount of fat must have been through the roof.
Our feast
Here is the review. The tacos were a guilty pleasure that I would get again, over and over. I probably prefer the non-supreme version. The chicken burrito was one of the least healthy pieces of food, if you call it that, that I have ever eaten. It was a struggle to finish. Alana ate most of her bean and cheese burrito but I finished it. She enjoyed the cookie sandwich, but I thought that the apple empanadas were absolutely disgusting.
All in all, us being hungry and fit, don’t be afraid to cheat from time to time. If you count cheat meals go for that, but feel free to indulge in a guilty pleasure from time to time. Otherwise you’ll go insane and once you have it, you’ll realize it’s not that great anyways. I don’t want Taco Bell for a while, but I was happy that we went. You can see the receipt below, it was cheap.
It’s good to eat what you want sometimes. It’s all about leading a healthy lifestyle overall, not adhering to a diet.
Man I really want to try one of these now. They market these sooo much lol
🙂
Great post! You’re right that you need to indulge in guilty pleasures from time to time! If you never do are you really enjoying life like you should?!
Exactly!
I really love the crunch wrap.
Yum, first time in a while that I’ve actually wanted Taco Bell
Balance is the hardest thing for me. I try to avoid these kinds of things because I have absolutely zero portion control and LOVE to eat. People think I’m healthy for running marathons, but the truth is I would be the fattest bastard ever if I didn’t. That bag of Oreos dumped into a popcorn bowl and filled with milk isn’t going to work itself off. Oooh, now there’s an idea…
My favorite guilty pleasure…why do we always buy this at night??? I suppose I don’t want to be seen!!! Thanks for the review. I’ll try the cool ranch stuff…love the burrito supremes anyway.
Haha yeah it is a guilty night time thing, I think
I can’t quite believe just how cheap that kinda food is?! That’s insane and a bit scary! It’s fairly cheap over here in the UK too, but not quite that low!
Yeah it’s ridiculous!
The nacho cheese doritos locos taco its my favorite :3
