#98QBKiller Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 So I saw the commercial for Taco Bell's Volcano Taco and decided I had to try one. Unfortunately I was completely disappointed. This thing was milder than a bag of Andy Capp's hot fries. Anyone else tried it and if so do you think it's hot? I'm disapponted in what people consider "hot" these days.

China Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 Volcano taco...sounds like a woman with a bad yeast infection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan T. Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 I am sure it is Mega-Corporation's Appeal To the Masses hot, not Real hot. When you are marketing to a global market, you can't ratchet up recipes so much it cuts off appeal to a large segment of the population. Spicy ain't exactly spicy at McD's, Wendy's, Taco Bell, KFC etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffSchmeff Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 I felt a little heat at first, but it isn't really hot. The volcano sauce tasted good though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mufumonk Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 Even loaded up with their "Fire" sauce this thing was still weak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunny Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 It isn't spicy. Sucked, really.. I'll just go for the regular tacos with a bunch of fire sauce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. S Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 Very WEAK! The cheese sauce is the source of the mild spice, and honestly, that should be a standard. I can see this being mildly spicy for some people who can't do spice, but that's about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gray Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 Well after these disappointing reviews I guess I wont even bother trying it ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Brave Little Toaster Oven Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 I tried it...wasnt impressed. I also dont like how they jacked the price up too. Its listed as 89 cents. I got it for $1.29 :doh: I get the Grilled Stuffed Burrito and after every bite, cover it with Fire sauce. Even that is not hot enough for me.

Stophovr6 Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 The first time i saw it I told my friends: "I might as well just shove it straight up my ass because that's how much it's going to hurt on it's way out" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well after these disappointing reviews I guess I wont even bother trying it ! It's only 87 cents. You should at least give it a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackest Eyes Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 It isn't really hot at all. But it is tasty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EersSkins05 Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 It's not melt your face off hot, but it's warm. My wife couldn't eat it b/c it was too spicy, but it was good for me. I'm a big believer in these tacos. Unfortunately, they're being discontinued on October 14th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#98QBKiller Posted September 12, 2008 Author Share Posted September 12, 2008 Unfortunately, they're being discontinued on October 14th. Damn, did they plan on this being temporary to begin with? I felt a little heat at first, but it isn't really hot. The volcano sauce tasted good though. Yeah the Volcano sauce was definintely good, just not hot like I like.

Spaceman Spiff Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Not spicy at all, the fire sauce has more spice. Kinda disappointed, probably the worst special thing taco bell has put out. I can't wait for them to bring back the club chalupa, that thing is amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HogNose Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 If it's anything like the fire sauce they have then it is probably mild. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MissU28 Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 i just thought it was called the Volcano taco bc the shell was red...I didn't know it was supposed to be hot. I bought it for my boyfriend a few weeks ago...he loves extremely spicy things...and he did not mention anything about that taco. I miss the queso crunchwrap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sacase Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Its not very hot, but I guess for the masses it is hot. I enjoy it, the spicy cheese gives it a little extra taste that the regular taco doesn't have. You need to put two packets of fire sauce on it to make it better though.

Kosher Ham Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 I haven't eaten Taco Bell since they took off the Chili Cheese Burrito. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iMeast Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 It was OK I think. I am not really into "hot" food or anything. I am more into taste than I am having my taste buds burnt off so I don't really eat things I know will be hot. Even so I tried the Volcano taco and considered it to be hot. Maybe that is just because I am a wuss, I don't know. HTTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
War Paint Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 I haven't tried it yet. I do like spicy things. I have a bottle of this imported hot sauce from Belize. It's like an ultra hot Texas Pete, except it's made with halbanero peppers instead of cayenne peppers. It's a blend of halbanero peppers, carrots, vinegar, salt, garlic, etc....It looks orange. It will light you on fire. My whole body feels like it's getting hot. That sauce has pretty much jacked my tolerance of spicy foods up to the point that anything like a Volcano Taco will be very mild to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I've got some imported habanero sauce called "Predator Sauce" it's got a shark on the bottle. Man it only takes one drop of that into a pot of chili and I swear you'll need some bread and a gallon of something to drink to go with it. It's too hot to put on a single portion of food, they made it I guess to go into entire recipies. I've had it for like two years and when I was in college we'd get drunk and I'd give a drop to guys that thought they were tough and they'd cry like a little baby. The stuff is HOT!
