Taco time

Restaurant Brands has opened the doors of its first Taco Bell restaurant in NSW.

Located at Jesmond Central, the restaurant’s launch in early December attracted Taco lovers from across the Hunter Region.

The restaurant sells all the Taco Bell classics that are loved in America, including the Cheesy Gordita Crunch and Crunchy Taco.

Restaurant Brands General Manager at Taco Bell, Clark Wilson, believes the restaurant will provide a great experience.

“Taco Bell is a culture-centric brand; around the world it has attracted social media memes and casts of international celebrity mentions,” he says.

“It’s a brand that brings people together and encourages the social experience of food, and we are pleased to bring this experience to the Jesmond community.”

Restaurant Brands plans to open another 40 sites across NSW and the ACT, which will create more than 2,000 jobs and feed thousands of people.

A few weeks ago, I was lucky enough to be invited to the VIP launch. Here is a short review of the things I got to try.

Crunchy Taco

Just like any taco, this one was messy to eat. I liked it but felt like it was missing something.

Quesadilla

It was a little spicy for my liking, two bites and my mouth was on fire.

Cheesy Gordita Crunch

This one was my favourite; it is taco wrapped in a tortilla. Its crunchy, soft and quite tasty. I would eat it again.

Seasoned Tortilla Chips

Dipping these in guac made for a great time.

Cinnamon Twists

Imagine a crunchy cinnamon donut, that’s what these taste like.
