Taco Bell Volcano Taco

Unbelievable. Taco Bell just marches on with this new product madness - no shame at all. I suppose we should not be surprised anymore and just accept it and expect it. From this point forward, you can count on me reviewing every new T-Bell item that they concoct, which seems like it will be a weekly segment here on Pappy's Products.

So let's get to it - the "Volcano Taco." First of all - I like the name. It instantly tells you this is not going to be for the mild-mannered taste buds. And in case you weren't sure that this was a spicy item, they went ahead and threw it into a RED shell. And don't kid yourself into thinking this is some gourmet, tomato-tortilla thingy - it's just a regular taco shell with some red dye #5.

Well, they kept with the naming convention by advertising that the volcano taco has "Hot Lava Sauce." This is where the zest comes from - it's spicy cheese sauce. It seems like they just mixed the Taco Bell nacho cheese sauce with their hot sauce.

And then the rest of it is just a regular taco. So here's the breakdown - a regular taco with spicy cheese sauce in a red shell. I will say this - it IS Spicy. It's hotter than you'd expect from Taco Bell, but still not as hot as some real alarm ringers in authentic Mexican eateries. And here's the best part: it's only 89 Cents!!! Can't really argue with that.

Final assesment - Nothing too special going on here but I do recommend as a nice mix-up to your order if you're going to get 2 or 3 tacos to make one of them the Volcano for a little variety. It's a nice taste and you won't have to shell out any more pesos for it.
