Well, how the hell can I contain myself from playing with the Taco Bell Triple Steak Stack? Its flatness makes me want to bust out my die-cast toy planes and turn it into an aircraft carrier called the USS TSS (Triple Steak Stack). Also, because it&#8217;s flat and has a light exterior, I want to pretend its Barbie&#8217;s waif Russian supermodel friend, Katherina, who likes to go shopping with Barbie during the day, but is a secret KGB spy at night.<\/p>\n<p>The list of ingredients for Taco Bell Triple Steak Stack isn&#8217;t very long, although, because I feel sorry for its lack of ingredients, I&#8217;m going to try to make it look longer than it really is by using the power of unnecessary words. The Triple Steak Stack contains a triple serving of marinated steak and a triple cheese blend of low moisture part skim mozzarella cheese, pasteurized process Monterey Jack cheese, and American cheese in between a nine-inch bolillo flatbread.<\/p>\n<p>With a limited number of ingredients, I expected Taco Bell&#8217;s newest addition to be bland, and it turns out I was correct. Taco Bell&#8217;s &#8220;improved&#8221; steak may be an upgrade over what they used to serve, but it still tastes like cheap meat. How cheap? It tastes like the roast beef and gravy from a 99 cent frozen meal. However, that cheap meat was tender and the triple serving of steak was enough to nicely fill the nine-inch flatbread.<\/p>\n<p><center><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/theimpulsivebuy\/6385062285\/\" title=\"Taco Bell Triple Steak Stack Innards by theimpulsivebuy, on Flickr\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/farm7.staticflickr.com\/6056\/6385062285_ec76b01668.jpg?resize=500%2C375\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" alt=\"Taco Bell Triple Steak Stack Innards\"\/><\/a><\/center><\/p>\n<p>The cheese just lies there like its Jabba the Hut after being choked by Princess Leia and it adds almost nothing to the Triple Steak Stack&#8217;s flavor. Speaking of things that don&#8217;t have much flavor, the bolillo flatbread was not only quite bland, it was also not sturdy enough to handle the amount of steak in it. The soft, but thick flatbread easily felt apart while I ate it.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re going to eat the Taco Bell Triple Steak Stack, might I suggest asking for extra Taco Bell sauce packets on top of the handful they already give you, because you&#8217;re going to need a lot of sauce to cover the taste of the cheap meat and to spread across the nine-inch flatbread. I&#8217;d also suggest taking more money than you usually do when visiting Taco Bell. Five bucks will usually get you a full Taco Bell meal, but that same five dollars will get you only one Taco Bell Triple Steak Stack.<\/p>\n<p><b>Video Review<\/b><\/p>\n<p><center><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"500\" height=\"284\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/BtdgB4XFb9A\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/center><\/p>\n<p><small>(Nutrition Facts &#8211; 690 calories, 120 calories from fat, 20 grams of fat, 13 grams of saturated fat, 0.5 grams of trans fat, 90 milligrams of cholesterol, 1,950 milligrams of sodium, 59 grams of carbohydrates, 5 grams of fiber, 12 grams of sugar, and 46 grams of protein.)<\/small><\/p>\n<p><b>Item:<\/b> Taco Bell Triple Steak Stack <br \/>\n<b>Price:<\/b> $6.49 ($4.99 at most locations)<br \/>\n<b>Purchased at:<\/b> Taco Bell<br \/>\n<b>Rating:<\/b> 5 out of 10<br \/>\n<b>Pros:<\/b> It&#8217;s long.
