Taco Bell

I went out tonight with a friend. We headed over to UWM to see a play that another friend of ours was the assistant stage manager for. But, we had to get there early as we had not bought our tickets yet. So I wound up eating a late lunch, but then nothing before the show. So after I dropped my friend off at her place, I decided to grab something quick just to get a little something in my stomach. Unfortunately, at 10pm, your choices are a pretty limited as far as what's open. I opted for Taco Bell since I knew it was open late and is relatively cheap. I was rather surprised when I pulled up to see a new feature on the drive-through menu called the Fresca menu. They have 9 options on this menu that are all under 9 grams of fat. Great, but how do they taste. Well, tonight I played it safe and just picked up two Fresca Crunch Tacos. They each had 8 grams of fat- not great- and 150 calories, which makes for a 300 calorie meal- which is ok. Then to the taste. They are really good. The crunch taco is pretty much like a regular crunchy taco. Same shell. Same ground beef. Same lettuce. No cheese. The addition is salsa. Fresh salsa, with real tomato chunks, not like jar salsa. It has a little bite, but is not too spicy, which was good as well. I definitely think I need to try a few of the other options on this menu. Obviously I can't eat Taco Bell every day. 9 grams of fat is still quite a bit, but compared to other fast food options, this seems to be a good quick thing that can fill you up and not totally kill the diet.
