Volcano Taco
$1.19
In honor of a the new Volcano Nachos and it has been 8 days from our last review… I thought that I would release this from the archives.
Standard $.89 taco plus Lava Sauce. Lava Sauce is not that spicy, but this is coming from a guy that thought that “Wall of Flame” was a good idea. However, I like the sauce. A little bit of a burn and a little hotter than their Fire sauce. There wasn’t a lot of Lava Sauce on the taco, but enough to understand that this has a little kick to it. The red shells are nothing more than red shells. No extra flava.
I realized after eating this that salsa, pico or tomatoes are a must on tacos for me. I like a little sour cream at times as well, but I can’t go without tomatoes. IMO, Taco Bell needs to turn up the heat on Lava Sauce. Take a less from Cheetos v. Flaming Hot Cheetos. They turned up the heat and nailed it.
Would I Buy It Again? No. I am not that big of a fan of the standard taco from Taco Bell and the Lava Sauce wasn’t enough to take it over the top. However, if you like the $.89 taco, then you will probably like this. I am more of a supreme guy. I liked the flavor of lava sauce and would like to see it used in other parts of the menu.
Note to Taco Bell: Make Volcano Sauce hotter!

I got the Volcano box after John wrote about it on EP and while it tasted good, I didn’t think it was all that spicy. Maybe I’ve over-hot sauced everything. But I was still adding fire sauce to it…

What exactly does a red taco shell taste like? What is it supposed to taste like?
It kind of scares me to be honest

The red taco shell tastes exactly like the standard taco shell.
I thought the Volcano taco was decent, but I agree that the lava sauce would be better used in other ways. I’ve yet to try the Volcano nachos…

Big fan of the spicy. Thought the taco was just meh- not great, not horrible…
But for some reason the volcano burrito was simply awful! Foul, foul, foul. Something in it is just wretch inducing. Having a hard time getting the taste outta my mouth still, hours later.
