Come on, Taco Bell! Can’t you do better than this?
Can’t you come up with something better than the Steak Nachos BellGrande?
You’ve come up with some great ideas, but Steak Nachos BellGrande just isn’t a fun name to say.
GORDITA!!!
Look how fun it was to say Gordita.
CHALUPA!!!
Saying Chalupa was also frickin’ fun.
BEAN BURRRRITO!!!
Even saying Bean Burrito was fun, not just because I rolled the R’s and said it in a high-pitched, stereotypical, borderline offensive Hispanic accent, but also because of the alliteration.
Sure, I could roll the R in “BellGrande,” but it still wouldn’t sound very fun because there are too many words and syllables in the name and it also wouldn’t be fun to say, “Yo quiero Steak Nachos BellGrande” in my best Taco Bell commercial chihuahua voice, while ordering in the drive-thru lane.
It’s also not exciting to yell whenever I’m swinging at a pinata.
How about Mucho Nacho? Or Nacho Rancho? Or Steako Greato?
Even some of the ingredients in the Steak Nachos BellGrande have better names, like the carne asada steak and nacho cheese sauce. Okay, the tortilla chips, green onions, tomatoes, sour cream, and refried beans have plain names. But if you add the optional jalapenos, you not only add some heat to the Steak Nachos BellGrande, you also add another ingredient that’s fun to say and you can have fun with Taco Bell employees by asking for the jalapenos phonetically.
The Steak Nachos BellGrande was good. The steak was surprisingly tender and the optional jalapenos gave it a nice kick. However, I think what really made this product tasty was the nacho cheese sauce, which also made the Taco Bell Crunchwrap Supreme tasty and added a nice crayon orange to the dish.
However, with 770 calories, 41 grams of fat, 7 grams of trans fat, 1230 milligrams of sodium, and enough carbs to make Dr. Atkins weep in heaven, I don’t think I’ll be buying it again. Although, it does have a whopping 10 grams of dietary fiber.
Hey! Maybe it should be called Nacho PoopGrande?
