At 13 items, Taco Bell's Dollar Cravings menu, there is plenty to try. But not in one sitting... right? Wrong! Marisa Palmer and Nick Fernandez tried everything from the Triple Layer Nachos to the Cinnamon Delights. Following is a transcript of the video.
Marisa: Hey guys! It's Marisa.
Nick: And Nick.
Marisa: This is a whole bunch of tacos, quesadillas, burritos, even desserts. All for a dollar. I'm very excited.
Nick: Saaame? I've actually just started eating Taco Bell recently. I am a Taco Bell baby, like a burrito, but smaller.
The Taste Test
Triple Layer Nachos
Nick: I don't see how a sauce is considered a layer. But it's a dollar, right?
Marisa: I've had the Taco Bell nachos before and I liked them. They have sour cream. They have lettuce and tomato. And they do taste good, and I would buy them off the menu. This... does not really compare to that.

Spicy Tostada
Marisa: This is standard Taco Bell. This is what you get. It's not about presentation. It's just about what it tastes like. I'm really happy with the produce that's on top, like all the lettuce and the tomatoes. Yeah, it's pretty OK.
Nick: Yeah.

Cheesy Bean and Rice Burrito
Nick: OK, the flavors are fine, it tastes fine. But again, for me, it's a texture thing. It's very mushy.

Beefy Fritos Burrito
Marisa: This is pretty good. It's substantial in that you have the rice and the beef. They have the cheese and a little bit of crunch from the Fritos. It's good!

Spicy Potato Soft Taco
Nick: It's basically a carb taco.
Marisa: Yeah!
Nick: Carb taco. That's all it is.
Marisa: I don't know if I'd pay a dollar for this.
Nick: Unless the potatoes are bomb.
Marisa: Oh, wow. That smells good though. Oh, no. I got too much red sauce.
Nick: The potato's throwing me off. The texture of it's just weird for me.
Marisa: It would be good if there was meat in it.
Nick: I'd still eat it. I'm going to eat it.

Shredded Chicken Mini Quesadilla
Nick: I'm dying. I think it needs like tomato or maybe, I know this going to sound crazy, but maybe more cheese?

Beefy Mini Quesadilla
Marisa: It's so underwhelming.

Cheesy Roll Up
Marisa: This is really sad.
Nick: I feel like it's mostly tort - I think it's a joke, I think it's all tortilla. This is blasphemy.
Marisa: It's disrespectful that you would sell something like this to the public. NOOOOO! Don't make me do this!
Nick: It's just... a tortilla.
Marisa: I don't understand how you would go in the drive-through and you're like, 'Let me get the saddest thing on your menu. '"

Caramel Apple Empanada
Marisa: I feel like these are apple pies from McDonald's.
Nick: Is it weird that I like it?
Marisa: Yeah... it tastes good.
Nick: They're not dense enough for me. I feel like I'm chewing air.

Cinnabon Delights
Marisa: Mmm, this is good.
(3/5 Taco Rating)
Marisa: We just finished eating all of these dollar-menu items.
Nick: When I look at it, it's like looking back into a really embarrassing moment in your past.
Marisa: It's really cool that Taco Bell's doing this dollar menu thing because it's really great for college students, or if you just want a dollar-menu item. Those are our final thoughts, honestly. We're tired.
Nick: Goodbye.
