Whataburger Taquito: Is This Taco Worth Its Measure of Salt?

Whataburger has to be the most loved fast food restaurant in Texas. I have out of state friends who pine for just one taste. But, Whataburger is a burger and fries place, not a taco place. Nonetheless, breakfast taquitos are on the menu. I've eaten them many times before when in a hurry, but they are definitely not a "go to" place for them. For this review, I ordered the bacon, egg, and cheese taquito.

The tortilla was average but stayed together. It had several strips of bacon that were well cooked and not greasy. The salsa was really good and came packaged just like their ketchup.

I did have two complaints. These have been recurring problems with these taquitos in the past. First, they were very drippy and wet. I'm not sure if it's from runny eggs or from runny cheese or what. It often leaves a puddle in the bottom of the paper wrapper. Second, they are usually over salted. It can be a bit much, especially if you like to go easy on the sodium. I would recommend ordering it "the way you like it"....sans sel.

Although not the best fast food taco choice, it's certainly not the worst.

Taco Bell Biscuit Taco- WTF Did I Just Eat?

I swear I will never run late to work again. I was in a hurry, hopped in my car and sped toward my real job. As my stomach started grumbling, I started mentally thinking of drive thrus on the way so I could grab a quick bite to take with me. There were only two options: Whataburger or Taco Bell. They sat next to each other at my exit. 

I'll admit, I'm a Whataburger fan. Their Taquitos are quite tasty. But, it's a well known fact that Whataburger can take forever. I've sat in a W drive thru for 30 minutes before. I didn't have time for all that nonsense. I decided to whip into the Taco Bell instead. They were usually fast and they had recently added a breakfast menu. I thought, "What the hell. Give it a try."

That will teach me to think.

I ordered the Bacon Biscuit Taco. When I opened the wrapper, I was confronted once again by the notorious cardboard protective holder that I had previously experienced with their Doritos taco. It's was the first indicator of things to come. 

The second thing I noticed was the unmelted cheddar plopped on top. I like my tacos to be piping hot with melted cheese. This was room temperature.

This taco wasn't very big either. You can compare it with my hand below.

When I attempted to pick up the taco to take a bite, the need for the cardboard holder became very apparent. The biscuit was dry and started crumbling upon my first bite. The dispersion of bacon pieces was comic. There was a bacon log at the very bottom of the taco that was just weird. You would either get a big bite of all bacon or a big bite of all eggs.

 

Upon second bite, the taco crumbled into pieces inside the cardboard holder. I needed a fork or something to eat it. Since I was lacking the appropriate utensils, I just wadded it up to throw away. This menu item was disgusting and doesn't deserve to have the name "taco" in its title. It should be renamed Crap In-a-Biscuit.
