\"Taco<\/p>\n

\u201cCaseus et magis in melius.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Mother, if you are reading this, please have this newly-minted personal creed inscribed on my tombstone along with a picture of Taco Bell\u2019s Triple Melt Nachos, if only for future generations to know that we are currently living in the cheesiest point of recorded history.<\/p>\n

And while all this cheese comes at a sacrifice \u2014 <\/a>Nacho Fries are gone, long live Nacho Fries \u2014 if value-based creations such as the Taco Bell Triple Melt Burrito and, even more so, the Triple Melt Nachos, are a glistening yellow beacon to what we can achieve in the realm of queso and queso-related foodstuffs, then it\u2019s the culinary petard that I will defiantly hoist my husky frame upon.<\/p>\n

The aforementioned dynamic duo of Triple Melt meals from Taco Bell are seemingly a long time coming and hopefully a new standard bearer on not only the value meal menu but anything in the future that they dare to proclaim as \u201ccheese-filled.\u201d <\/p>\n

By combining the Bell\u2019s patented nacho cheese goodness with a shredded three-cheese blend of mozzarella, cheddar, and pepper jack, these new mixtures and additions hit closer and closer to what we should rightfully expect from years of Tex-Mex fast food promises.<\/p>\n

\"Taco<\/p>\n

And while not as super-gooey as you\u2019d think \u2014 the combined cheeses settle very fast into their own blessed mass of congealment \u2014 these very different cheeses and their fully distinct flavors make the Triple Melt Burrito a definite triple-crown entry as far as taste goes in this never-ending value menu race to the top. Along with the always welcomed ground beef and perfectly blended sauce, it makes for a burrito well worth your dollar.<\/p>\n

\"Taco<\/p>\n

That being said, the main drawback here is the continued unimaginative use of Taco Bell\u2019s typically bland rice as a wholly unnecessary filler that might as well be sawdust the way it soaks up all that important cheesy flavor. (I mean, let\u2019s be honest: is there really anyone out there who truly likes Taco Bell\u2019s rice? A mea culpa<\/em> to you and yours if so, but I doubt it.)<\/p>\n

\"Taco<\/p>\n

This minor act of edible malfeasance is absolutely rectified, for the most part, by the award-worthy Triple Melt Nachos. Featuring those beloved chips and aforementioned ground beef professionally imbued with all these different cheeses, like a calcium-rich daydream of innocent fools come to fruition, it\u2019s a hearty combination that makes this a Dollar Menu item beyond reproach. <\/p>\n

The warm queso blankets the top while the corresponding layers underneath are shielded by the melting shredded cheese that soaks down to the bottom, making sure that every bite is loaded with some semblance of flavor like a sternly protective father, a true rarity especially when it comes to these dollar nachos and their moderately-sized portions and partitions. <\/p>\n

And, to be fair, if you want to complain about the size of these nachos, it\u2019s only a buck hoss…man up and order two or three or whatever it takes to satisfy those curdled urges deep inside. Lord knows I have. \u00a1C\u00f3mpralo ya!<\/em><\/p>\n
