Taco Bell's new taco is red. Symbolizes that it's hot, if you didn't catch it. It's also called the Volcano Taco, sporting what they call cheesy lava sauce. I ate two of 'em to find out whether or not Taco Bell's red shell gives you toilet hell.
Have you ever wanted something from Taco Bell that's actually hot? I'm not talking about temperature (that'd be asking way too much of them), I mean something that's got some kick, makes the oral area tingle. Something that has good spice like that, but also a good taste. Well friends, our time is here. The Volcano Taco from Taco Bell is quite satisfying.
First of all, the shell is RED. Yeah, sometimes at like Moe's or some place like that you've gotten a red tortilla chip or two, but the whole taco shell is red. I think it's safe to say that it's almost universally enjoyable to eat good food in an abnormal color. Actually, typing that out made me realize that it's probably just me. But anyway, as well having a red shell (which would be a great advantage in Mario Kart), the Volcano Taco is also endowed with what makes it stand apart from a normal taco: the spicy cheese sauce. I've had tacos with nacho cheese sauce before, but this is spicy cheese taken to a whole new level. As I said before, it's not family-friendly spicy. It's not gonna leave your eyes watering for half an hour, but it's a bit hotter than... probably anything I've had from a fast food place. And it actually tastes cheesy, so I was satisfied.
All in all, there's very little that makes the Volcano Taco stand out from their normal tacos. The spicy cheese sauce is the kicker, though. It makes an increasingly average food more interesting, which is never a bad thing. If you're not a fan of Taco Bell in general, this definitely won't covert you, and it's by no means filling (I immediately wanted like four more), but I enjoyed it. Best of all, it's only $.89!
