These new Doritos Nacho Cheese tacos are amazing.  The taste is excellent and quite a wonderful melding of two tasty products - chips and tacos.  I prefer the basic version without sour cream, but the Supreme version comes with that and tomatoes.  Your choice of hot sauce complements an already superb taco.  Simply my favorite taco ever.  The new Cool Ranch flavor is also reviewed on this blog.  The nutrition info is similiar for both.  This has 1 gram less total fat, but 10 more calories.  So very similar in that regard.  For similarity in taste see the Cool Ranch review! 


Cool Ranch Doritos Locos Taco



The price for this, the basic version without sour cream, is $1.39 and tax. 

Here is what it really looks like!

These new Doritos Locos tacos have been extremely successful to Taco Bell since the Nacho Cheese version was released last year.  The highly anticipated release for the Cool Ranch version has also been successful but it can't compare with the Nacho Cheese version.  It is good, tasty and interesting but it tastes like a slightly seasoned taco shell.  It is not quite as flavorful as the Nacho Cheese.  While it is worth a try, I probably will order the Nacho Cheese before the Cool Ranch.  For an extra 30 cents you get the Supreme style featuring sour cream and tomatoes.  Now we have to wonder if other Doritos flavors will be coming our way in taco shell farm.  Salsa Verde maybe?

In N Out is a place for burgers, fries, shakes, and soft drinks.  Simple. great tasting food.  I'm not overly fond of the fries, however, so I make mine cheese fries.  In N Out has a secret menu meaning you can tell them things you want not listed on their simple menu.  For instance you can make your fries animal style and it will come with burger sauce, pickles, and other seasonings.  The sandwich pictured above is a protein style cheeseburger, so basically a lettuce wrap.  It is very tasty and a bit healthier to make up for the cheese fries.  The lettuce is thick and wrapped well around the burger and fixings so it is a perfect replacement for the bun.  No fork is needed.  Prices vary by location but my meal with an extra large drink was just over $7.

Siegfried's Delicatessen German Food

For $6.99 you can fill up on a delicious German meal at Siegfried's Delicatessen in downtown Salt Lake City.The address is 20 W 200 E.  The cafeteria style flow is easy to navigate once you decide what you want.  You can order hot, ready to eat food or you may order over 70 varieties of meat as well as cheese and bread from the deli counter.  There is also a selection of European chocolate, candy, condiments, and other items as part of a mini grocery store.  The hot food menu has different daily specials.  On the the day I went the special was Borsch soup for $4.99.  I got the sausage plate with 2 sides for $6.99.  The sausage I ordered was knackworst and the two sides were the red cabbage which was hot and delicious with an applesauce dressing mixed in and fried potatoes which were tasty as well.  There is an excellent selection of dessert as well.  I chose the marzipan cake and that was fantastic.  The white cake with raspberry and whipped cream filling is crowned with delicious marzipan icing.  Marzipan (pronounced mahts-z-pahn) is almond based and can be found in abundance in the candy section.  You can get it in bars and also "potatoes", which are little balls of heavenly deliciousness.  For a change try an authentic German restaurant like Siegfried's, you won't be disappointed.
