Country Music Icon Dolly Parton’s Taco Bell Order: A Review
Dolly Parton, the queen of country, has a not-so-secret love for Taco Bell. In a recent interview, the star happily shared her go-to order, prompting one curious journalist (and fellow Taco Bell enthusiast) to give it a try.
Parton’s order is a delightful mix of classic Taco Bell fare: a Soft Taco Supreme, a side of rice and beans, a Mexican Pizza, and mild hot sauce. She explained her preference for soft shell tacos, noting their structural integrity, especially important for those “riding around.” She’s also a big fan of the Mexican Pizza, a menu item she championed for upon its return.
So, how does the “Dolly Special” hold up? The Mexican Pizza, a combination of seasoned ground beef, refried beans, cheese, tomatoes, and pizza sauce between two crispy tortillas, proved to be a standout.
The crispy tortilla base adds a satisfying crunch, and the beef is well-seasoned. While the distribution of beef and beans could be more even, the overall combination of flavors and textures makes this a clear winner.
The Soft Taco Supreme, featuring seasoned beef, lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, and sour cream, is a reliable classic. Fresh ingredients and a good balance of flavors make this a solid choice, especially when enhanced with Parton’s preferred mild hot sauce.
Finally, the often-overlooked side of rice and beans proved to be a pleasant surprise. The well-cooked black beans and seasoned rice are simple yet satisfying.
Overall, Parton’s Taco Bell order is a testament to her down-to-earth tastes and appreciation for classic comfort food. While the Mexican Pizza steals the show, each item holds its own, creating a well-rounded and enjoyable Taco Bell experience. Dolly, it seems, knows good food, whether it’s from her own kitchen or the drive-thru.
