Swede here, Taco Bell recently opened here, and I went to try it last weekend.
It was disgusting, I had their recommended meal, some flat soft tortilla with minced meat, corn, cheese, salad and some sauce, with a side order of nacho crisps, and a Fanta thing from the machine.
The Fanta was ok, but tasted too much of sweetener, the nacho crisps were disappointing, and the wrap was just disgusting.
The cheese had a taste/smell similar to that of acid reflux, the meat was tasteless, the salad was basically non existant, the corn was there, I saw them, didn’t taste them at all.
The whole texture was like a soggy mess in a tortilla wrap.
For the rest of the day, I would feel sick at random times after eating it.
Sorry for the rant I have been wanting to complain for about a week now and when ai saw the logo I just had to.
For me, it is back to the Swedish classic, Taco Bar.
It’s been some years since Taco Bell opened in Finland. My brother went there and said the tortillas there taste just the same as tortillas we make at home. Lost all interest in the chain with that since what would be the point
Yeah, you don’t get Taco Bell because you want real Tacos or Mexican food, just like how you don’t go to McDonalds for a good burger.
You get Taco Bell because it’s convenient, because you’re high as fuck and their crazy monstorsities sound like perfect munchies, or because the call of the void today has manifested in a craving for their specific style of shitty junk food.
Yeah, give me a soggy disintegrating taco with a fucking big dorito chip for the hard shell. I’m going to dump like 5 sachets of the hot sauce on it. And I’ll have the taco salad in a flattened wrap with the massive cheez-it in the middle. Oh, and the burrito half filled with rice and cheese that has extra cheese grilled onto the outside and spicy Doritos inside too. I’ll wash it down with a criminal amount of the formerly exclusive overly sweet Mountain Dew flavor.
Yep this pretty much sums it up. While I agree I feel like this kind of thinking has spread too far and now we have so many shitty chains everywhere and so few decent options. Seeing someone have this take from Sweden is very validating bc I feel like so many of my fellow usians around here have such low low standards when it comes to dining out or cuisine in general. And it shows in what’s available around me. In a mid sized fairly popular city, 90 percent of our restaurants are just garbage.
There was this wonderful slice of time around a decade ago where fast food prices had started to rise but local sit-down places hadn’t. If you had the time and around $5-10 extra then it didn’t make sense to get fast food when you could get an actual meal.
Unfortunately inflation has caught up to even the local places now.
There was a slice of time even farther back where you’d eat Taco Bell because you could get an absolute fuckton of food for very little money, even compared to other fast food.
In my opinion their Chalupa or Gordita are the best things on the menu. PSA - they don’t resemble true Mexican food of the same name at all.
But I never feel good about going to Taco Bell afterwards. I only sometimes stop there if I’m traveling and my choice is limited to McDonald’s or Taco Bell

The hilarious irony is that the tacos aren easily the worst thing at Taco Bell. The grilled cheese steak burrito is actually something to enjoy.

Just fuck my shit up.

Anyway thanks for coming to my rant talk.

clearly you weren’t stoned enough to eat it.
Well that there is the problem: Sweden is still fully bought in to the Reagan era take on drugs.
