Did it look like the picture? Taco Bell

March 26, 2015 by elzey | Leave a comment

I’ve been doing this for 7 days to see if the items looked like the photos. I also did a taste test and added that too it. I’d love to hear what everyone else thinks.

Some items failed and I didn’t care for their taste, but some items did OK. I tried to get items that I never had before, except the hard taco.

Before we bash the fast food restaurant do a taste test for yourself and be honest. Eat it there where it is fresh and if there is a problem with it see if they can fix it. Where else can you eat for a few dollars.

Does It Look like The Picture? – Crunchy Taco

March 26, 2015 by elzey | Leave a comment

Item 7 – Day 7

Crunchy Taco

A crunchy, corn taco shell filled with seasoned beef, crisp shredded lettuce, and real cheddar cheese. Yes it’s just the plain ol’ Hard Taco

My Hard Taco

Looks – I only gave it a 3 out of 5 but for a $1.00 taco they did a pretty good job. It was not soggy at all.

The only item I gave a 5 out of 5 paws. With some fire sauce (fake hot sauce) it tasted GREAT. Not the best hard taco out there but unless I want to drive 2 hours it’s good.

You tell me what your opinion is.

My Cheesy Fiesta Potatoes

I give them 4 out of 5 paws for both looks and taste. The website photo was in a nice dark glass looking bowl and the ones I got was in a plastic cup but that was OK. They looked like the picture in the restaurant and tasted pretty good. My son ate 3/4 of the but what I got was good. I would order these again.

Looks: Well again it got a three paws for, but I give them that they are in a hurry so…

Taste: I give them a good 3.5 for taste. I would eat them again but actually prefer a plain taco over these Dorito Tacos.

Looks – They did look a little greasy and not as much filling.

Taste – Good God these should be illegal… Over the top in taste. Thank goodness they don’t sell these by the dozen or I’d be hurt.

Does It Look like The Picture? Doritos Cheesy Gordita Crunch – Fiery

March 19, 2015 by elzey | Leave a comment

Item 3 – Day 3

Doritos Cheesy Gordita Crunch – Fiery

Warm, pillowy flat-bread covered in a melted three-cheese blend, wrapped around a Doritos Fiery taco and topped with a zesty Pepper Jack sauce.

We finally found one that looks pretty close to the picture and taste good. My son and I both liked the spicy Doritos Cheesy Gordita Crunch. This may be the all time favorite. (so far)

If I would have cleaned it up a little it would have looked very close.

I would even give this a 4.5 paw prints. This is my top item to have at Taco Bell from now on.

Does It Look like The Picture? Taco Bell Beefy Fritos Burrito

March 17, 2015 by elzey | Leave a comment

Item 2 – Day 2 :

Taco Bell Beefy Frito’s Burrito

Seasoned beef, Frito chips, and premium Latin rice wrapped in a flour tortilla and filled with warm nacho cheese sauce.

Well the only downside was it was missing the Fritos… or at least 95% of them. I think there was one or two on there but they was not CRUNCHY at all.

My Photo of the Frito’s Burrito

Not only was it a FAIL in looks but also in taste. It took everything I could do to get HALF of it down.

My son and I both agree that it only gets 2 out of 5 Paws Will never get again!

Does It Look like The Picture? Taco Bell Stuft Burrito

March 16, 2015 by elzey | Leave a comment

My son and I shared some Taco Bell tonight to see if it would look like the picture they advertise. I need to say I like “Taco Bell” for a fast food Mexican Restaurant. So I’m no TB hater. We’re getting an item a night for a 7 days!

Item 1 – Day 1 :

XXL Grilled Stuft Burrito – Chicken

The XXL Grilled Stuft Burrito is our biggest burrito yet, STUFT full of all white-meat-chicken, a three cheese blend, hearty beans, reduced-fat sour cream, premium Latin rice, chunky guacamole, avocado ranch and pico de gallo, wrapped up in a warm flour tortilla.

“The Picture”

As a whole – The Real “Stuft Burrito”

Cut In Half – Stuft Burrito
I think it is a FAIL… it did not look like the picture nor did it taste all that great. My son and I both agree that it only gets 2 out of 5 Paws, if that. Will never get again!

Taste Good Chinese Restaurant in Spring Hill, Florida.

March 9, 2015 by elzey | Leave a comment

We’ve been using them for years and the food has always been pretty good. We’ve noticed a little decline in the last 1/2 of 2014 though. We typically had them deliver the order and it always seem as if they forgot something. When we call they’d apologies and offered to resend the item but if they would our dinner would be over by the time the driver would even get here… boo..hoo… I know.

We order some about a month ago and they forgot the cashew nut ($4.00 worth). They offered to send them out with the driver but we were already eating. Instead just credit us the $4.00 for next time. A few weeks later we ordered again. I made a note in the online about the nuts, so this time the nuts would be at no cost. I understand the language barrier but my wife explained to him 6 times about the nuts… and then they refused to replace them. ( this is the same guy as before). When my wife said, “Cancel the entire order” (over $50.00 – we have 6 in the family) – “Oh now I see note I made”, he said. The cashew are free… then do I get back my $4.00 from the last time I order if they’re free. “OH, at no cost this time to you”.

When you order over $35.00 they offer a free large sesame chicken, which we did so I ordered it. We got the nuts and no cost but they forgot sesame chicken. I think that was a “fuck you stupid American” gesture. So needless to say I will never eat from “Taste Good Chinese Restaurant” again.

The sad thing is the only reason we order from them is they were a small family owned business. We pass two other Chinese takeouts on the way to taste good… So Taste Good… good luck but without any of my stupid American dollars.

Space Shuttle

February 28, 2015 by elzey | Leave a comment

I’m really torn about the “Space Shuttle” program. It seems without it we took a step back in Space exploration. I understand it was a big chunk of the budget but without it I just don’t feel as if America is still the world leader. There is the International Space Station but it’s not the same, at least it’s not in my eyes.

Was it Obama , Bush, or hell even Clinton? Who knows who actually gave the final order to kill it or upkeep them. My kids will never see a man walk on the moon or a space shuttle lift off. Wow … we’ve jumped back to the 50’s or have simply given up and decided it’s a futile attempt, or there is simply nothing out there… that would be a lot of wasted space huh?
