Chocodilla - 200
WTF – I rang the bell!
What - Taco Bell Sri Lanka
Where – 36, Horton Place, Colombo 07
I was excited for a long time, ever since I heard that Taco Bell is coming to Sri Lanka. The only issue was, I did not want to wait in line forever to get in, but for my luck I got a call to come for a tasting and jumped at the opportunity. So here is my take on what you need to try!
Everyone is 'taco-ing' about it: as there is not much positivity to go around in the country now, I turned to food. My exclusive sneak peek gave me a VIP scoop on what sort of experience you'll get at Taco Bell. The Food is NOT a let-down, and I feel it’s priced well. I loved the interior which was very rugged and modern, creating a great backdrop for the food.
It’s all Mexican-inspired dishes and the buzz is not ending anytime soon. It was a hungry Saturday morning for me, and some Colombo faces were buzzing on the inside too.
Let’s look at my drink options first. I loved the pricing and they were easy on the wallet.
Strawberry Mojito – 250
California Tan – 200
Irish Coffee Shake - 300
Mojito lacked the kick I wanted, but what stole my heart was the Irish Coffee Shake. It had a great balance.
I had a collection of dishes to try, and here is my breakdown. These are all good options to choose from.
· Soft Taco - Crispy Chicken with Hot Ghost Pepper Sauce – 300
Loved the combination, and the sauce was amazing.
· Crunchy Taco - Mexican Chicken with Smoky Chipotle Sauce - 300
Loved the crunchy exterior and the smoky filling.
· Chalupa - Crispy Fish with Cool Ranch Sauce - 370
This was a true surprise. Loved how the fish was done - very Lankan, fried and spicy.
· Classic Burrito - Fajita Chicken with Smoky Chipotle Sauce – 550
So this is a bit pricy, but a truly filling meal, as it also has rice packed in it. I was not a big fan, but the next table had a lot of good things to say about it.
· Quesadilla - Cheese with Smoky Chipotle Sauce- 500
Loved it, a bit too little for the price, but it did make me happy, as cheese was the star.
· Loaded Nachos – Mexican Chicken – 750
This is perfect for a date and one is ample to share as a couple, but I would prefer more topping on it. I felt it went dry as I dug deeper.
And you know my favourite part of meal is the dessert. One won me over, and the other disappointed me.
Not something I’ll recommend. The chocolate was on the bland side.
· Chocolate Caramel Tostadas - 400
This was amazing, loved every bite. It’s a must try!
In conclusion I’d say, when one has to know the art of picking a good sauce to go with the dish – my advice is to always ask for the opinion of the person at the counter, they can guide you well.
So now go Taco, and let’s start 'taco-ing' about it.
