My 2 Cents



THE SPECS: Chili beans, Taco Bell's refried beans, sour cream, tomatoes and nacho cheese cream sauce on top of a mound of tortilla chips.

WHAT'S THE CONCEPT? Basically this is a take on chili fries, the ultimate late-night, I drank too much, let me eat something that is going to soak up all that alcohol concoction, taste really good and give me the illusion that I am driving home at night safely. Instead of the deep-fried french fries, we have deep-fried tortilla chips here.

DOES IT DELIVER? Well, if it's 3 a.m. and you have had a few too many at the club that night, this is going to be the best meal you've ever had. But if you are actually trying to eat these nachos sober, you will be sadly disappointed.

It's like the Taco Bell franchise was not confident the chili beans it was throwing into these nachos were enough so they had to add the Taco Bell signature refried beans as a back-up just to provide cover. Sadly, it backfired.

What you end up with in this dish is a mound of not very eventful starch. It totally overwhelms the nacho cheese sauce and sour cream also included in the dish.

One other thing, where are the green onions on the nachos? I know there was a previous incident with green onions and Taco Bell, but what? You haven't found a new vendor for green onions? Come on, people! The nachos need some green onions. Not just for visual presentation, but for flavor!

IS IT WORTH THE MONEY AND CALORIES? Who cares, don't eat this dish. A complete waste of calories and money.

My final Dashboard Dining rating: 0 BITES.
