Taco Bell Fries

  • Taco Bell started serving fries on Thursday.
  • The fries are served either with cheesy dipping sauce or nacho-style, smothered in cheese, beef, sour cream, and more.
  • We taste-tested the fries - and found they were like nothing else being served by fast-food chains right now.

Taco Bell is finally serving fries.

On Thursday, the fast-food chain added $1 nacho fries to the menu. Instead of taking the classic fast-food route, Taco Bell's fries are topped with a spicy seasoning and served with a side of nacho cheese.

Customers can also order "Supreme" fries for $2.49, or the larger serving of "Bell Grande" fries for $3.49, served with even more toppings: beef, pico de gallo, nacho cheese, sour cream, and other add-ons like guacamole, bacon, and jalapeño peppers.

If you're McDonald's or another burger chain, you need to think about the power that these fries could have. The influence that they have. The business implications that they have.

In an effort to see how Taco Bell's new fries measure up to the competition, we decided to try them ourselves.
