I have been wanting to start doing food reviews on this blog for about a year now and have just never found the time or will to do it haha. But when I had the new Bacon Ranch Chickstar from Taco Bell I knew it was finally time to do this. I don't know how often I will do it, but when I find something I like, I will be sure to let you guys know. So here it goes! My inaugural food review! Enjoy!
When Taco Bell first announced their new line of their version of a Chicken Sandwich which they are calling a "Chickstar." What a Chickstar is is basically their Crunchwraps filled with their new crispy chicken and three choices of sauce (Chipotle, Bacon Ranch or Mango BBQ). Being the bacon lover that I am, I decided to try the Bacon Ranch one. First off, the size is great for the size. It is pretty heavy and just as big as my hand. So from the get-go, I knew this was going to be filling (although I got the meal and gave the taco supreme to my sister). When I say what I am about to say, it does not come lightly at all. This is the best item that I have ever had from Taco Bell (yes, this includes the Beefy Crunch Burrito). In fact, it is the best thing that I have eaten that consists of bacon.
The chicken was well-seasoned which was great of course. I don't know what it has, but the ranch sauce has a nice kick to it that is not too bad (just a spicy as the Sriracha Quesarito). Whenever you get bacon from a fast food joint, its usually really salty, soggy and more than likely not 100% made of bacon. Taco Bell does not fall under this category which is great. Their bacon was hot, real and added a nice extra crunch alongside the chicken. I'm not a big guy on lettuce but it really works here (as it does on most of TB's food). They are different because the lettuce they use is different and almost softer and more fresh, in a way, than other fast food places. The tomato dices add a nice kinda fresh feel to the food.
Overall, the chickstar is great, as you can tell from my review. I give it a 5 out of 5 and recommend it to any bacon or chicken sandwich fan. You will not be disappointed. Well done, Taco Bell, well done.
