5 Fast-Food Chains Fans Say Have the Best Beef Tacos
The humble beef taco is a simple yet delicious menu item, beloved by fast-food fans for being relatively cheap and convenient, and hitting the spot when you need something savory and delicious. Many restaurants have some version of the beef taco on the menu, and a handful have ones so tasty diners can’t get enough. If you’re craving a really good taco at the drive thru, some fast-food spots have excellent options. Here are five chains with the best beef tacos, according to fans.
Del Taco
Del Taco’s The Del Taco is made from seasoned beef, house-grated cheddar cheese, crisp shredded lettuce and fresh diced tomatoes in a crunchy corn shell. The Snack Tacos are also a big hit with fans. “It’s details like actual fresh grated cheddar cheese, and if you order a delux or whatever taco rather than a ‘value taco’ they PACK about 5000% more cheese in than an average Taco Bell taco. With that being said I still love the dainty little value tacos because the beef/cheese/corn/lettuce ratio is absolute perfection,” one Redditor said.
Taco Bell
Taco Bell‘s Cheesy Gordita Crunch (a flatbread filled with a blend of mozzarella, pepperjack, and cheddar cheeses wrapped around a crunchy taco shell with seasoned beef, Spicy Ranch sauce, lettuce, and shredded cheddar cheese) is outstanding, customers say. “The Cheesy Gordita Crunch is the best magnum opus of Taco Bell,” one fan said. “The crunch of the hard shell combined with the softness of the outer shell is such a heavenly texture. The melted cheese in between them adds another sweet kick of flavor. The spicy ranch goes so well with the combination of beef, cheese, and lettuce.”
Jack In the Box
The Two Tacos at Jack In the Box (2 crunchy tacos with melty American cheese, shredded lettuce & our signature taco sauce) have become the stuff of legend. “This is my go to snack on Friday. Buy 99 cent for two tacos, add cheese for .50 cent to get over a dollar, then add the large free fry on Friday. Life is good,” one fan said.
Taco John’s
Taco John’s Taco Bravo is a crowd-pleaser: Warm refried beans spread on a soft tortilla, wrapped around a crispy taco shell filled with seasoned 100% North American beef, Cheddar cheese, taco sauce, and lettuce. “Taco John’s is head and shoulders better, they actually put more meat than lettuce in their tacos, everything just seems fresher, lettuce, tortillas, beef,” one fan said.
Torchy’s Tacos
The Democrat Taco at Torchy’s Tacos is made with beef barbacoa, avocado, cotija cheese, cilantro, diced onions and a lime wedge with tomatillo salsa on a corn tortilla. “Torchy’s Tacos is the best tasting, non-authentic, American tacos franchise you’ll find,” one fan said.
