Review: Del Taco - Fiery 6 Layer Burrito

Del Taco's Fiery 6 Layer Burrito features slow-cooked beans, seasoned beef, hand-grated cheddar cheese, spicy jalapeno slices, and sour cream, wrapped in a flour tortilla with a "secret" layer of warm nacho cheese.

The burrito goes for $1.59.

The Fiery 6 Layer Burrito reminds me of Taco Bell's Beefy 5-Layer Burrito back in '10 on account of the nacho cheese in the "secret" layer. Most of the layers are the same except Del Taco's Fiery 6 Layer Burrito has spicy jalapeno slices.

However Del Taco's version contains a good even mix of ingredients without any one overshadowing the others. The beef isn't heavily flavored so I caught a good bit of the beans, sour cream, and cheese.

Be warned though, the spicy jalapeno slices add a sour bite and there was a pretty good amount of them in the burrito. None of the other ingredients were spicy.

Overall, Del Taco's Fiery 6 Layer Burrito is a pretty nice mix of ingredients that fit together quite nicely... as long as you can take the heat from the plentiful jalapenos.
