Queasrito: Good Eats or Urban Myth?

As a lover or Chipotle and a guy that likes to slum it down to Taco  Bell a fair share as well, I thought this video was pretty entertaining.  How can you go wrong with wrapping a burrito in a quesadilla?

So any of you had a Quesarito from Chipotle?  Worth the weird stares and extra calories?

Sneak Preview - Doritos Locos Cool Ranch Taco

So I heard on the radio early today, that even though the advertised date of the new Cool Ranch flavor Doritos Locos taco from Taco Bell was tomorrow March 7th, they would actually be available today.  You may remember, I was quick to try the original Doritos Loco as well.

I could not resist the temptation, so I headed out at lunch to grab me one to try.  Funny enough, I just made a run for the border yesterday and actually had a Nacho Cheese Loco with my meal.  So with that fresh in my mind, I could make a decent comparison.

There were no signs and nothing on the menu, but if you asked they had them today.  So I added one on with my #9 combo meal.  Figuring if it was like the other Loco Taco, one was enough added with the rest of my meal, they can be a bit much in large quantities.


Overall, I definitely think the Cool Ranch profile was there much like the Nacho Cheese, although it looks pretty similar to the standard crispy taco shell, but you can see some of the Ranch colored seasoning.  I felt the flavor was a little more subtle then the Nacho Cheese version, but overall good.  I think I'd actually like the flavor to be a little more front and center.  If you like Cool Ranch doritos and/or you liked the other version, give this a try, you'll dig this one too!

Overall, I think it rates out pretty similar to the original Loco version, I give it a 3 rating.
