Amazing, for what it’s worth.

But not really original, even for a Taco Bell item. It tastes exactly like the OG Double Decker Taco, except with nacho cheese in there. If you’re not familiar with the tastes of all the ingredients inside the Double Decker Taco and the Taco Bell nacho cheese, then you probably don’t care enough about Taco Bell to want to read a review of a new menu item. I guess what I’m saying is anyone who has ever eaten at Taco Bell can figure out what the Cheesy Double Decker Taco tastes like without my help.

The cheese is with the refried beans between the two decks of taco, and at the Worst Taco Bell in the World it wasn’t all that evenly spread, so I got a bite with beans then a bite with cheese then a bite with beans again.

I forgot to take a picture so I grabbed the one from the Taco Bell website. That one clearly depicts an even distribution of beans and nacho cheese and so seemingly indicates that the problem in Elmsford is local and not systematic.

Anyway, the important thing to know is that unless you’re somehow really into Taco Bell refried beans, there’s nothing the Cheesy Double Decker Taco can offer that can’t be found smothered in pepper jack sauce on a Cheesy Gordita Crunch. And even if you are really into Taco Bell refried beans you can probably just order some Pintos and Cheese and spread them between the flatbread and taco on the Cheesy Gordita Crunch to create a significant upgrade over the Cheesy Double Decker Taco.

Also: You can always order a Cheesy Gordita Crunch. Secret of the pros. Even if it’s not on the menu, just ask for one and they’ll give it to you.

UPDATE, 3:41 p.m.: I can’t believe I forgot to mention the Doritos Loco Taco that is supposedly testing in certain markets. It features a taco shell made from a giant Nacho Cheese Dorito. Now that’s an inspired new concept for a Taco Bell menu item. Look at this thing. I actually looked up prices for flights to Toledo this weekend. Does anyone live in a test market? Has anyone seen one of these in the wild?
