Daym Drops reviews new items at Taco Bell including nacho fries, a Chipotle bacon burrito, and a pineapple freeze. While initially skeptical about the fries, he was pleasantly surprised by their crispiness and flavorful seasoning. The Chipotle bacon burrito impressed him with its tangy seasoning and crispy bacon, though he felt the overall burrito experience was similar to other Taco Bell offerings.
What was great: Nacho fries with crispy texture and flavorful seasoning, nacho cheese sauce that is rich and spicy, Chipotle bacon burrito with crispy bacon strips and tangy chipotle seasoning, pineapple freeze drink
What could improve: Initial disappointment with nacho fries crispiness, Chipotle bacon burrito tasting too similar to regular Taco Bell burritos without standout flavor differentiation, chicken quality described as mid
The Dishes
The review kicked off with Taco Bell's nacho fries, which initially seemed underwhelming to Daym, but upon tasting, he discovered they had decent crispiness and were packed with flavorful seasoning. The cheese sauce featured a spicy kick that he appreciated, describing it as rich and smooth with a nice burn in the back of the throat.
The main event was the new Chipotle bacon burrito, which featured Fiesta bacon strips that provided a nice crunch and saltiness. The burrito itself contained chicken, rice, sour cream, and a tortilla shell. Daym noted that while the chipotle seasoning was tangy and spicy, executed well and grilled to near perfection with a smoky flavor, the overall burrito tasted like a standard Taco Bell offering rather than something revolutionary. He compared it to another burrito he accidentally received and felt they were too similar.
The pineapple freeze drink made an appearance at the end, though it had largely melted by the time he tried it. Despite its slushy state, he appreciated the combination of pineapple flavor paired with the burrito.
The Experience
The review took place during a tropical storm with heavy rain, creating an entertaining backdrop as Daym stood outside the Taco Bell location getting drenched while filming. He maintained his energetic personality throughout, dancing and celebrating the items he enjoyed while commenting on the weather and nearby establishments. The ordering process seemed straightforward, though there was some confusion when a wrong burrito was initially received, which he used as an opportunity to compare items.
Value and Pricing
No specific pricing information was mentioned in the transcript, though the items reviewed appeared to be standard Taco Bell menu offerings.
