| - New First Meal/Breakfast Review:
A couple of months ago the AZ Republic had coupon inserts for Taco Bell's roll-out of their new breakfast menu. They call it The First Meal. Not being a breakfast person, I ignored it.
Well, several months later, more and more TBs are starting to serve breakfast. Soon almost all their Phoenix locations will have it. What can you expect? Typical Taco Bell faire with some interesting twists.
Their big new item, is something call the "AM Crunchwap". Your choices are either bacon or sausage. I tried the bacon and it's quite good. It's a little smaller than their normal Crunchwrap, maybe 3/4 of inch. It's filled with scrambled egg, bacon, cheese and a creamy Jalapeno sauce that gives off a little heat. Yummy!
The key to the sandwich, besides the flavorful sauce, is a very thin circular hash-brown that is in the middle of the wrap. I liked it and it's priced at only $2.49 each. BTW, breakfast is served until 11 am.
Should Mickey Ds next door start worrying? No. But along with their Bacon or Sausage Skillet (Soft Taco) for $0.99, it's a nice alternative. The Combo meal ran me slightly less than $4.00, excluding tax.
Surprisingly, there doesn't seem to be any decent coffee option. When I paid, the server offered me a medium drink. Taco Bell's First Meal won't change my habit of skipping breakfast, but I might give them a try every couple of months.
Wow, I just gave a Taco Bell Four Stars. D'oh!
