\"Taco<\/a><\/p>\n

I’m no Spock, but the price for Taco Bell’s new Crispy Chicken Biscuit Taco is highly illogical. <\/p>\n

Taco Bell is known for having cheap food. Breakfast menu items at restaurants are usually cheaper than what’s offered for lunch and dinner. So why is Taco Bell’s Crispy Chicken Biscuit Taco on the breakfast menu so damn expensive? It’s a piece of breaded chicken in a flat biscuit with a sauce. That’s it. <\/p>\n

I paid $3.79 for mine. Granted, as I’ve mentioned before, I live on a rock in the middle of the Pacific Ocean where most things are subjected to something called the “Paradise Tax.” But my fellow fast food bloggers paid prices that I would consider high for a taco. Ryan at Grub Grade <\/a>paid $2.79 and Q at Brand Eating paid $2.69<\/a>. If you’re a morning grump, I imagine the price of a Crispy Chicken Biscuit Taco and seeing what you get for that price will make your disposition worse.<\/p>\n

The flat biscuit is as pliable as a pancake and has a little buttery flavor, but its less sturdy than its predecessor, the Waffle Taco. After the first bite, the biscuit split at the fold due to the biscuit’s dryness. If there were smaller ingredients, like Taco Bell’s bacon bits, I imagine the biscuit falling apart would cause a mess. But since there just a chicken finger and sauce, there’s no worries about the taco’s contents falling out.<\/p>\n

\"Taco<\/a><\/p>\n

The lightly seasoned Crispy Chicken has a breading that has crushed tortilla chips. It’s surprisingly crispy, even after a car trip ride home, but the pressed chicken was as thin as the biscuit.<\/p>\n

When you order the Crispy Chicken Biscuit Taco, you have the option of getting it with either Jalape\u00f1o Honey or Country Gravy. I tried both. They came in small take out sauce containers that had enough sauce for two Biscuit Tacos. It’s different than the syrup that came with Taco Bell’s Waffle Taco, which was in a McNugget sauce-like container.<\/p>\n

\"Taco<\/a><\/p>\n

If I were to order these Biscuit Tacos again, I would definitely get the Jalape\u00f1o Honey over the Country Gravy because the white peppery gravy is bland. I think it would go well with Taco Bell’s sausage, because they would enhance each other. But I can’t say it does the same with the Crispy Chicken. <\/p>\n

But I can say the Jalape\u00f1o Honey and the lightly seasoned Crispy Chicken do enhance each other. The Jalape\u00f1o Honey is sweet, thick, sweet, tangy, sweet, and has a slight kick. The two go together well enough that they almost make me forget about the biscuit falling apart, the thinness of the chicken, and the Biscuit Taco’s price.<\/p>\n

Instead of special Biscuit Taco-labeled sleeves, my Taco Bell Biscuit Tacos rocked Taco Bell’s Doritos Locos Taco sleeves. I don’t know if it was a mistake caused by the fast pace in a fast food kitchen or if they ran out of the Biscuit Taco sleeves. But after eating these Crispy Chicken Biscuit Tacos, I feel they were appropriate because I wish I ate a Doritos Locos Tacos instead of the one with Country Gravy and I wish the Jalape\u00f1o Honey one, while tasty and definitely better than any Waffle Taco, was the same price as a Doritos Locos Taco.<\/p>\n

Item:<\/b> Taco Bell Crispy Chicken Biscuit Taco
\nPurchased Price:<\/b> $3.79 each*
\nSize:<\/b> N\/A
\nPurchased at:<\/b> Taco Bell
\nRating:<\/b> 6 out of 10 (Jalape\u00f1o Honey)
\nRating:<\/b> 4 out of 10 (Country Gravy)
\nPros:<\/b> Jalape\u00f1o Honey. Chicken has breading with frickin’ crushed tortilla chips. Crispy chicken remained crispy even after a car ride home. Amount of sauce given was more than enough.
\nCons:<\/b> Country Gravy. Pricey for what you get. Thin biscuit was a bit dry and easily cracks at the fold. Chicken was as thin as the biscuit.<\/p>\n

*Because I live on a rock in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, things are a bit pricier here. You’ll probably pay less than I did.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
