It would’ve been cool to have this burrito in a red soft tortilla but still nice addition to the Volcano Menu. This was a pretty filling burrito and I’m glad there was tasty rice included. The spicy new Lava Sauce is a bit more subtle in the Volcano Double Beef Burrito because there are a lot more ingredients helping to put out the fire. I found that $3.19 for the burrito alone was a little steep considering the Why Pay More! Value Menu has a burrito of similar weight and stature ( Cheesy Double Beef Burrito) for 89 or 99¢. It contains seasoned rice, beef, Lava Sauce, Red Strips, Sour Cream, and Cheddar Cheese.
How’s that? The Volcano Burrito is similar to the Cheesy Double Beef Burrito. Here’s an attempt to sound like a Taco Bell ad…it’s “Cheesy, Beefy, Saucy, Ricey, Spicy and Pricey”. This Volcano Double Beef Burrito was pretty solid. Volcano Double Beef Burrito – The new kid on the Volcano block really stood out as the hero of the Volcano Box. All in all though, I could handle the heat and maybe the next time I’ll ask if I can have it topped with a cooling agent…a nice helping of sour cream. I’ll deduct some points for the extra cost. I found it strange that the only taste difference between this and the regular 89¢ Crunchy Beef Taco is the Volcano Sauce and it’s $1.29 for the Volcano Taco alone. It would be cool (and entirely possible) to get a Volcano Taco with some sour cream added to cool things down. It’s a nice spicy, cheesy beef taco that on first bite you’re just hit with flavor and within a couple of seconds, the spicy sauce really kicks in. The Lava Sauce is pretty hot for my feeble palette. Just your typical taco shell with an intimidating new look. Seasoned ground beef, grated cheese, lettuce and Lava Sauce nestled in the red shell The red hard taco shell is just for the aesthetics of making it more Volcano-esque as it’s not flavored any different from what I can tell. Volcano Taco – Your typical Crunchy Beef Taco fired up with a red taco shell and Lava Sauce. Also included in the Volcano Box is a Crunchy Beef Taco, Cinnamon Twists and a Large Drink. The Volcano Box features the return of the Volcano Taco and the mainstream introduction of the Volcano Double Beef Burrito.
