Cheesy Gordita Crunch Review
The gordita is an interesting beast.
Its not really a taco, its not a pocket, its a whole mess of goodness.
There is a lot of cheese, beef, and the textures are, um interesting.
The sauce is a nice creamy spicy concoction that completes the heartiness of the other ingredients.
When you start to open the package, its a lot to take in. You get a main visual of lettuce, cheese, sauce and meat, an oohy gooey mess of gordita!
Its a little hard to handle when eating, as the wet inside ingredients slosh around and become hard to manage.
This can easily become a messy, squirty mess even for the professional gordita geek.
A good remedy is to eat both sides and plan your attack. But what do they say “you wanna make an omelette, you got to break some eggs?” Everything has a price, and this might mean acquiring more napkins at the onset of your dining experience.
To sauce or not to sauce? That is the question!
I’m a huge sauce guy, and I love the taco bell sauces. Since I can be brave at times when it comes to dining experiences, I went for the sauce. A little hot or mild taco bell sauce on the cheesy gordita crunch made my taste buds smile!
The VERDICT?
Overall its hard to go wrong with the Gordita at its price point. It has a nice contrast of cheesy, crunchy, saucy, meaty and lettucey (is that a word?)
The cheese is abundant, and so is the flavor. Id recommend everyone try it out at your nearest taco bell at least once.
