I'm not generally a sweets person, but those Cinnabon delights are fantastic.

Same here. Daughter got them one time and she gave me one to try and I was surprised how good they were.

just got one last week - I understand that most places will let you order it off-menu. I don't remember if it was actually on our location's menu or not but it was $1.99 and delicious.

I wish I could like GM’s post twice. Prob the best post I’ve read in at least 6 months.
FWIW, I’d line Shuke as a slight favorite in this one, feel like it’s more in his wheelhouse, prob -130 for Shuke.
If there was nothing but pride on the line, I could prob average 1 every 4 minutes and get to 11 in 45 minutes. If there was money on the line, prob could bump it to 1 every 3 minutes, so 15.

It's not the number of tacos one eats that is the challenge.

Bring back the Nacho Fries BellGrande.
And I could easily eat several dozen tacos.

Solid point being made here.
I also think I could do as many of the cheesy beef burritos as well. So much tastier.

I don't know if Taco Bell is disgusting because I haven't eaten there in 25 years. I'm the guy who's never really had Chik-Fil-A either (couple cold tenders and a shared cookie once). When I did do Taco Bell, I loved a Burrito Supreme.
For almost a decade I lived down the street from Bell Gardens, the original farm purchased by the Bell family. I got to know a couple of the descendants. I'll briefly share a story their employees told on tours of the farm. Mr. Bell was struggling with three or four hot dog and hamburger places. He wanted to copy McDonald's. In 1962 he was failing in San Bernardino across the street from Mitla Cafe. They had lines; he was dead. He ate there all the time and tried to duplicate their Americanized hard shell taco made with hamburger meat, lettuce, cheese and tomato. It was a hamburtaco and it was a hot seller with gringos ill-prepared for lengua, cabeza, etc. The patriarch of Mitla heard about Mr. Bell's efforts to copy his taco and in amigo spirit taught him how it was done. Bell sold that location and all his others in order to open up the first Taco Bell in Downey about 20 minutes away. The rest is history, of course. But maybe the best part of the story is Mitla never slowed down. 81 years later they're still doing it the way Taco Bell was taught in 1962. And I have had this plate in the past few months.

I've ordered it "off menu" before also. But it has to make you wonder, if it's not on the menu, what are they doing with that chili in there?

Depending on how much time we have and how sick I feel like getting, a dozen should be do able.

2 years ago a group of us went camping for memorial day weekend. After all the kids went to bed the so called adults stayed up drinking.
I don't remember who brought up the taco bell run, but we made it. Someone called the nearest taco bell on Saturday night and ordered 200 tacos, 100 soft shell and 100 hard shell.
A couple of the more sober people went and picked it up. After we came back we all started eatting. Probably about 30 minutes later everyone was done. There was still just over 100 tacos left. Then 5 of the guys took the challenge of "Leaving no taco behind "
It took over an hour, and it was the most disgusting thing I have ever seen, but they finished them.

I just asked my husband about this story to make sure I remembered all the details correctly, and he insisted that I needed to come back in here and add in the fact that the 5 guys in this competition had to each put 80 dollars on the line as well. Each guy had 21 tacos and if you didn't finish you had to give each of the other guys 20 dollars for not doing your part. Then he giggled and said "Man that was an awesome night" I completely disagree.

Anyone should be able to easily do 10 hard shells. Those are the Cadillac of the fast food genre.

Hard to believe, but in a taco Bell food thread, this is the first post that made me go,"yuck."

I was always a Burrito Supreme kinda guy too.
However, if you ever go again, try the XXL Grilled Stuft Burrito... it costs around $5, but it's pretty hefty with lots of ingredients and runs circles around the Burrito Supreme.

25 years ago a buddy of mine with whom I prosecuted at the time talked me into going to Taco Bell at lunch. He loved the place. Prior to that I had gone a few times in my life, but was by no means a regular. I had nothing in particular against them. The food was disgusting, but no big deal, I had eaten at lots of disgusting places, most notably White Castle and George Webb's. If you can stomach that stuff you can stomach anything. Like John Rambo I could eat things that would make a Billy goat sick.
Anyhow I was in the middle of a jury trial but the Court gave us an hour and a half for lunch. Off we went. I ordered up four of their basic tacos and a beef burrito. The names of these delights I don't recall, just their basic menu items. The meal was more or less unmemorable. I do remember that my friend, Jim, ordered twice as much food and ate it with gusto. Driving back to court Jim was in some distress and needed the bathroom pretty urgently. We parted ways.
I was feeling pretty good when the trial recommenced. Twenty minutes in I started sweating a bit and feeling unwell, the cramps had started. I fought through bravely though thrown a bit from my game. An hour in the Judge looked at me and said Mr. DW, would you like a break? Apparently the battle in my colon was that evident on my face. I thanked his Honor and did the butt clench quickstep to the nearest facility. The explosion was powerful, wet, and accompanied by enough natural gas to power a small town through a cold winter night. I was able to continue the trial, but felt queasy the rest of the afternoon.
After the verdict came in and the court room cleared his Honor came back out. He told me that Jim had left the courthouse sick as a dog and that he was amazed I had finished the trial. On my part there was no denying what had happened. I simply thanked him for his understanding. He asked me whether I had learned anything. I had. I have not returned since, and I am cautious with my afternoon meal when in trial, very cautious. Jim on the other hand continued eating at the Bell several times a week for as long as I knew him. The experience did not detour him one bit.

Can we financially incentivize @General Malaise to get in on this taco eating contest?
Shuke puts his confidence level of being able to eat 15 tacos in 15 minutes at a 7 (1-10 scale), I'd personally like to see him try.
I think we can easily raise at least $500 to reward the winner - I'd kick in $20 to start.

I used to love the Meximelts - no pico de gallo, I know I'm crazy - but they've gotten fairly expensive for what you get. I liked the fact that they put it in the warmer thing and it would congeal the meat and cheese into what you likely mistook for the chili.
I almost went to the Bell for lunch today but a buddy invited me to meet up at a local hole in the wall sandwich shop... plus I have a work happy hour tonight and didn't want to spend half of the time in the bathroom.
