Taco Bell\u2019s Beefy Potato-rito from 2017<\/a>. The only ingredient difference between this and that is the addition of sour cream in this one.<\/p>\nI gave the Beefy Potato-rito a 7 out of 10, and I\u2019m going to give this one a slightly better score because it\u2019s bigger, making it beefier and potato-ier. There\u2019s a chili cheese fries vibe with these, and I love the seasoned beef and potato combo. The nacho cheese is the most noticeable of the sauces, and there\u2019s also a slight kick that might be coming from the chipotle sauce, but it doesn\u2019t build to anything beyond smoldering. The Beefy Potato Loaded Griller is terrific, and it makes me wonder why more Taco Bell items don\u2019t have potatoes in them. Will definitely be repurchasing this.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Let me start by saying this Mini Taco Salad is super adorable. That adorable mini tortilla bowl is filled with seasoned beef, chipotle sauce, cheese, tomatoes, lettuce, and refried beans. I want to call it a Taco Side Salad.<\/p>\n
Despite having \u201csalad\u201d in its name, it\u2019s more meaty than salad-y. Actually, if it didn\u2019t have the lettuce, it looks like the dip from the chips & dip you\u2019ll read about next. With the lettuce and tortilla bowl, it has that familiar taco salad taste. So it\u2019s almost everything you\u2019d taste from a regular taco salad, but in a cuter form.<\/p>\n
However, I think the best thing about the Mini Taco Salad is the fact that I didn\u2019t need a fork to eat it. Sure, I was given one, but I took one look at the mini tortilla bowl and thought, \u201cYeah, not gonna need utensils with this one.\u201d Then I picked it up with my hands and started chomping away. Surprisingly, I didn\u2019t make a mess. Your cleanliness may vary.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
I\u2019m a little surprised this wasn’t called Chips & Six-Layer Dip. Okay, \u201csix\u201d doesn\u2019t EXACTLY rhyme with \u201cchips\u201d and \u201cdip,\u201d but it kind of does. Those six layers include seasoned beef, beans, nacho cheese sauce, reduced-fat sour cream, pico de gallo, and a three-cheese blend, which is served with a sleeve of tortilla chips.<\/p>\n
As I looked at the Luxe Value Menu on my table, I had thoughts about dumping the Nacho Supreme Dip into the Mini Taco Salad\u2019s tortilla bowl and eating them as a combined menu item. Maybe I\u2019ll spend five dollars to do that during my next Taco Bell run.<\/p>\n
The dip is plentiful, and there\u2019s enough for all the chips given. Much like the Beefy Potato Loaded Griller, the nacho cheese sauce is the most noticeable condiment. With my order, there was a slight bitterness, which might\u2019ve been from the pico de gallo. The dip overall had a familiar flavor, which isn\u2019t surprising since it’s made with common ingredients in the Taco Bell Universe. I guess you could think of this as a burrito filling that doesn\u2019t have a flour tortilla to go home to.<\/p>\n
The chips and dip were enjoyable, and I would spend another $2.50 to eat them again.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
I ended my Luxe meal with the only dessert on the menu. An order comes with three pieces featuring a creamy filling and a crispy exterior dusted with salted caramel-flavored sugar. That crystalline substance on the crispy fried dough is definitely sweet and definitely salty, but perhaps a bit more salty than I was expecting.<\/p>\n
The creamy filling adds a modest amount of sweetness, but I kind of question whether it was necessary if all the salted caramel flavor comes from the sugary coating. I also wondered whether the filling wanted to be involved with this dessert, because when I bit into a piece on one end, the filling would escape from the other, as if it were trying to run away from being associated with these churros.<\/p>\n
Other than being saltier than I expected, I think these churros were worth it. For $1.99, you don\u2019t have to fork over much.<\/p>\n
