This is what happened when I ordered six of Taco Bell's most iconic menu items.
- I'm a die-hard fast food fan, from burgers to chicken sandwiches and everything in between. I also love Tex-Mex and Mexican food and have been known to indulge in a taco or two a week.
- Then how, you may ask, is it possible that I've never once been to Taco Bell? I asked myself the same question and decided to try out the fast-food chain for myself.
- The chicken quesadilla proved to be the standout item, along with the famous Crunchwrap Supreme. I also found the Mountain Dew Baja Blast to be the perfect complement to my meat-and-carb-filled bounty.

I am a self-proclaimed fast food and Mexican food lover who's never been to Taco Bell. Yes, you read that correctly.
It's not that I've never been tempted to try out the California-based chain - its cheese-filled burritos have proven an irresistible siren call to many friends in the late-night hours. I, however, have never tried it.
Finally, after 22 years of narrowly avoiding the fast-food establishment, I decided to give it a try and order some of the chain's most iconic menu items for the very first time.
For my first trip to the Bell, I ordered a few staples - a Burrito Supreme, a Crunchwrap Supreme, a chicken quesadilla, a Doritos Locos Tacos, and a side of guacamole and chips. I also ordered the famous Mountain Dew Baja Blast drink and picked up a few packets of mild and hot sauce
I was impressed by the ease with which I was able to order, and everything came out on par with what I expected, or even better. The chicken quesadilla came out on top as my new favorite fast-food menu item. However, the chips and guacamole belong in the penalty box.
Here's what it was like to go to Taco Bell for the very first time.
