I’ve moved back to my country of birth and Taco Bell seems to be a thing here now.

I’ve tried the quesadillas and the crunch supreme and it’s been… life changing.

What else should I be trying?

    The quesadillas. Again. And again.

    I can’t stop eating them. I prefer their quesadillas over authentic ones tbh. It’s the sauce! And the baja blast!

    Chalupas (I think these are basically the same as their gorditas but with a fried shell)

    And honestly their regular, basic beef soft tacos are pretty good, especially with some fire sauce (or whatever your preferred level of spice is).

      Fucking chalupas. I’ve tried to recreate the dough at home but they come out far more like actual bread than the pancake like texture they have.

    The crunchwrap supreme and burrito supreme I think encompasses the whole menu of flavor from Taco Bell.

    But for me, who remembers multiple tacos for 99 cents from Taco Bell: their basic and unmodified tacos with hot sauce is the only thing I need from Taco Bell.

    Their veg options are some of the better ones in fast food if they haven’t jacked up their prices around you. Potato taco, cheese quesadilla, bean and rice burrito are all good enough options for fast food

      You can swap out meat for beans on any of their items. Taco bell is the best fast food option for vegetarian folks

    I’d argue you already tried the best two things, but maybe give the Chalupa a try as those are pretty good from what i remember.

    Cantina chicken burrito with the green sauce in the packet. It’s better than you’d get at most of the fake Mexican chain restaurants in my city. Not as good as the authentic places but the price can’t be beat.

    Crunchwrap, either the breakfast one or the lunch/dinner one. If hard pressed, I’d say the breakfast one is better.

    I don’t like the Baja Blast personally, but you should try it as I think it’s the only place you can get it.

    Diablo sauce I think tastes like a spiced ketchup or BBQ sauce, too sweet for me, but the girlfriend loves it.

    Those are the most unique items to me.

    Try obtaining a Time Machine so that you can experience the menu from when it was good.

    The Grilled Stuft Burrito, Grilled Stuft Nacho, the volcano burrito and lava sauce, the 1/2 lb cheesy potato burrito, the enchirito, the loaded grillers, the double layer taco, the chilito.

    So many good menu items lost to time

      Exactly. Read the OP’s question in the title and immediately thought the answer is “Literally any other restaurant.”
