If the tree of life were a factual piece of foliage, I’m pretty sure it’s sap would be Lava sauce.

The Double Decker Taco

What is it?

The Double Decker Taco is a hard shell taco filled with beef and cheese that has a soft shell stuck around it with refried beans all for the beautiful price of $1.49. It normally comes with lettuce, and the day I morph into a cow I will GLADLY allow that lettuce to stay on my food. In the meantime, “No lettuce” is an essential part of my preferred ordering etiquette.

How is it?

Really awesome, plus, it has alliteration in the title for bonus points. I’m not sure why I hadn’t ever ordered one before now, but for a buck fifty this has to be one of the most filling low-budget items on their menu. Fortunately for me, I have the body of Jack Skellington and the stomach of a Rancor. A hint of fire sauce put this above and beyond my old favorite, the $.99 soft taco, and the soft shell wrapping keeps things from getting too messy with the crumbling crunchy shell.

How is it with Lava?

Oh my f*cking god. That’s how it is with Lava. Take an item that’s really good with out Lava, and add Lava to it and the result is obviously going to be really, really insanely good. That’s science. I didn’t make the rules, I just enforce them. Considering this still comes out to a measly $1.79 when you add Lava, I’d have to admit it comes highly recommended.

Good work Taco Bell. You have redeemed yourself for the rip-off known as the Ranchero Chicken Soft Taco.
