Taco Bell Taco and Chicken Gorditas

It's only appropriate I do my first review on a place I've eaten since I was a kid.  I've probably eaten over 9000 tacos, and other various taco bell ingredients in different forms.  Since the Taco Bell at school doesn't have Double Deckers  (WHY I DON'T FUCKIN KNOW, IT'S JUST A TACO LAYERED W/ BEANS AND A TORILLA, MY GOD), I got a taco and two chicken gorditas w/o sour cream.

 

The taco was just like usual, the most entry-level taco on the planet.  I may be pretentious but I don't think I'll ever be above eating these.




I was craving chicken gorditas for some reason.  The flatbread is a lot better than a standard flour tortilla, mixed with chicken, lettuce, and a good amount of cheese and tomatoes.



Since the meal wasn't too heavy, I didn't feel like shit after eating it.  I try to keep most meals at around 500-600 calories and thats probably the amount this meal was.  The amount of salt left me w/ a dry mouth as I'm typing this though. 

I'll go over the rating system, basically if the fat and salt ratings are low but the taste rating is high that's a good thing, and vice-versa.

Fat rating (how fatty the meal was): 3/10
Salt rating (how salty): 8/10
Taste rating (overall satisfaction): 8/10

Welcome to Tacographics!

On this blog I will review various foods I eat, featuring REAL TALK analysis of various restaurant and homemade foods.  Tacos are obviously going to be the main dish I discuss, as they are an all around amazing food.  For the people who do not know me well, I may come off as a critical asshole at times but just remember: I do not take myself seriously and this is all for fun, when I use caps I am just putting emphasis on words, not actually SHOUTING!  I'll try to make my reviews entertaining.

Explanation of  rating system: 

Fat rating (how fatty the meal was): 3/10

Salt rating (how salty): 8/10

Taste rating (overall satisfaction): 8/10

Basically if the fat and salt ratings are low but the taste rating is high that's a good thing, if they're high and the taste rating is low that is NOT good.


Origin of name: Tacographics is a term I invented which basically means the target audience (demographic, psychographic) of this blog is: 18-34 male/female, frugal/make low wages, intelligent/witty, introverted, and enjoy tacos/mexican food/other foods.

Oh, and I use a 2.2 mp camera phone for pictures, that's why they suck. If you would like to contribute to a Tacographics camera fund, I will gladly accept donations.
