Like the rest of the new, limited-time Loaded Grillers, it's offered at 99 cents a pop.
The Loaded Potato Griller was pressed just long enough to develop a thin crispy shell over the soft, warm flour tortilla. It was folded a bit wider than the Spicy Buffalo Chicken Griller I tried.
The potatoes here are the same, seasoned, battered and deep-fried ones you find in Taco Bell's Crispy Potato Soft Taco. The seasoned flavor is nice if a bit heavy on the salt. The pieces didn't quite stay crispy inside the grilled burrito, although there was an occasional piece here and there that delivered a small bit of a crunch.
The cheese and bacon added a bit of flavor without being too excessive. The bacon particularly added a nice smokiness, but wasn't crunchy. The overall result reminds me of a breakfast burrito without the scrambled egg.
The sour cream ended up clumped in one half of the burrito, which wasn't so nice. It added a bit too much creaminess in one half and none in the other.
Except for some miscues in the execution, I thought that Taco Bell's Loaded Potato Griller was reasonably good, but maybe more fitting for breakfast or when you feel like having breakfast.

I had the same problem with the sour cream. Even the bacon was not dispersed evenly.
ReplyDeleteGonna give each of these grillers a try tomorrow, although my favorite burrito has to be the volcano burrito.
ReplyDeleteI miss the chives at Taco Bell. Can't they find a way to find a safe supplier?
ReplyDeleteOr maybe they could find multiple smaller suppliers to mitigate the chances of a chain-wide outbreak.
The sour cream issue is common. You see it a lot in the Beefy 5 layers and the Grilled Stuffed Burritos. My problem was the potatoes seemed to be too large to appropriately wrap and eat. All I seemed to be getting was potato and then a mouthful of sour cream at the end.
ReplyDeleteSave yourself the trouble. If you like spicy, the Spicy buffalo griller is truly awesome. If you're not a spicy fan, go with the Beefy Nacho griller. It's like a Beefy Crunch, and if you're lucky, they might be using the Flamin' Hot Fritos in your state. ^_^
i enjoyed this but would pay the extra 50 cents for them to add some more to it. they really skimp on the quantity
