Today is free taco day at Taco Bell. Also, the sun is
handing out skin cancer at no charge. Hurry, run quick! But seriously, we’re
going to tell you something, but only if you promise not to tell anyone, not
even the bloggers who share this page. We love Taco Bell. Do you hear us? Love
it. We stumble into that joint at 2am with a good, solid beer buzz going, load
up on tacos, and wake up the next morning covered in hot sauce and refried
beans. Damn, that’s what WE’RE talking about! So, in honor of this momentous
American holiday, we want to tell you about our favorite taco, The Double
Decker Taco.
When it debuted in the 90s, we considered the Double Decker
Taco a cheap gimmick. Back then, we were strictly bean burrito girls, with the
occasional Beef Meximelt to spice things up. The commercials were all, “See
what we’ve done? It’s insane!” But then, BUT THEN: We tried the Double Decker
Taco. People, it’s brilliant! Because it has the savory greasiness of a
hard-shell taco, but it doesn’t crumble all over your lap, because that savory
goodness is held in the warm, chewy bosom of a soft tortilla slathered with
refried beans. It’s like the two powerhouses of tacos working together. It’s
the DeNiro and Pacino of tacos. Here in New
York, we don’t go to Taco Bell much. But when we head
back to Dallas,
we set up camp in the aisles. So please get our sleeping bag out of the closet and hide the children's eyes,
Mockingbird Taco Bell. We are coming for our free taco.
