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.

Teresa's Molcajetes

Lets just start off by saying, if you like Mexican American food, check out Teresa's in Lakeville, MN among the other handful of locations.  My family have dined here and gotten taken out too many times to count.  Good affordable that always comes out fast and piping hot.

One of my favorites are their Molcajetes!  Molcajetes are served in a traditional stone grinding bowl made from a lava stone.  The food comes out in a flaming hot bowl that adds great flavor to your food and keeps your meal hot to enjoy throughout your meal.

Teresa's Molcajete

They have several different flavors and options with different combinations of steak, seafood, chicken, pork and chorizo.  Pick one that sounds good to you, fill your warm tortillas and make your own taco/fajitas. 

Last tip, don't fill up on the free chips and salsa before your dinner comes!

Loco for Doritos Locos Tacos

These new tacos from Taco Bell immediately intrigued me from the very first commercial I saw. What is not to love? Doesn't everybody love Doritos and tacos? Match made in heaven right?

Last week, had a quick lunch meeting with a buddy, I went for the Doritos Locos Tacos Big Box which came with one of the namesake tacos (Doritos Taco Loco Supreme), a burrito, and another taco. For good measure, I threw in a favorite standby of mine, a beef supreme chalupa.

They definitely did a good job of getting the nacho cheese Doritos flavor across and it was actually pretty tasty and a nice change of pace if you like crispy tacos from Taco Bell. I did like them, but not sure I get a whole case of just these.

Overall I give it a thumbs up, probably eat it again and a rating of 3!
