Just keep keep in mind that Americans are obese because of the convenience of speedy fastfood meals. Keeping eating out as a "treat" will help not get addicted to the addiction of fast food.
As a Californian, I’m surrounded by amazing Mexican food. Still, I absolutely love Taco Bell. However, I don’t go to Taco Bell when I’m wanting Mexican food. I go to Taco Bell when I’m wanting Taco Bell. It lives in a realm of its own and I find it to be super comforting
“I’m expecting great things here” is not something I’ve ever heard someone say about a visit to a Taco Bell prior to seeing this video. Still a late night run for a couple of chicken soft tacos can’t be beat
@@raziel3546 yeah you can substitute the ground beef on the soft taco with either chicken or steak. I’ve been getting the chicken soft taco when I go to Taco Bell for like 20 years, although I did flirt with chalupas a few years back
@@xxxterm I don’t even bother looking at the menu when I go through the drive thru. I pull up to the speaker and I’m immediately just like, “ Yeah, I’ll get two chicken soft tacos and a Mountain Dew”
I live in a central IL city. We have a meal called a "horseshoe". Its bread topped with hamburger patty, topped with fries and covered in cheese sauce. Every local restaurant has their own spin. Some use a different meat, different variety of spud or change up the cheese sauce. I personally think its way too much cheese!
You have a wonderful family. You seem like really good parents. It's especially nice that you can bond over making these videos and that you'll forever be able to look back on them. They'll forever document this special time in your lives. ❤️👍
No. I'm American and I like real food that tastes like food. You might be a loser that can't even make toast who eats fast food but the rest of us srent
As a Floridian, please do a video on what a local New Zealand resturant is like or a video on a New Zealand fast food chain. Great job , lovely family. Best to you
@Fecalage grew up in the metro Detroit area, and plenty of Hungry Howies Pizza around the area. Moved to the South Bend, Indiana area...figured no more Howies, but surprisingly there is 1 Hungry Howies Pizza in the area. 6 total in the state. Was so happy about it 😂
Arizona Here, I had a Hungry Howie’s pizza down the street from me, went there once and it gave me the runs. Not too long after that they got shut down. @@FretlessMayhem
Love you guys so much! Every time I watch you you put a smile on my face! I hope you guys get a chance to try the Mexican pizza. It just came back in the united states. It was gone for several years and hopefully you guys get it in the Z land!
Hopefully it doesn't take them too long to recover from Taco Bell. I'm sure they have better quality control standards in NZ to cut down on the after effects of the low grade poorly stored meat and excessive preservatives though.
That's what I always think to myself when I watch their videos. I used to be a public school teacher, and I remember praying to have kids like these two kids. lol
The line that made me laugh the most has to be when the daughter looks at the Crunchwrap and with huge eyes asks, "What's that!?" Dad: "That's MINE!" 🤣
As an American I think we take our access to so many fast food restaurants for granted. It is so easily available that we don't realize what a treat it is. It's fun watching your family enjoy Taco Bell.
@@lmilly1359 it’s not too bad, it’s something your suppose to have once in a long while when you do want it, but people abuse it do to there being so many and lack of self control.
I have 3 Taco Bells in my area. One south, one north, one east, the lake is to the west, so no Taco Bell there. But all 3 are too far for me to drive my V8 truck over for an inexpensive meal, despite liking Taco Bell on an inconsistent basis. There isn't one directly near me, in my city. I can always hope they build one here. Ages ago they had a very small one inside of a gas station, like 20 yrs ago, but it didn't last long.
After watching only a few of your videos, I must admit that I really enjoy that you guys are doing everything as a family. From here in northern Minnesota, great job and keep it up 👍🏼
Taco Bell is the definition of Cheap drunk food after a night out, really fun to watch people enjoy things that they have heard about for a while. Y’all are so positive and it’s refreshing. Love from SF!
Del Taco in some parts of the country (southern CA for sure) is better, as the food tastes better and the prices are much cheaper. Stopped in there many weekend nights at 2am to get a late meal on the way home from some fun events.
one time me and my friends went to pick up taco bell for an entire party. We got so much taco bell our receipt was like 48$. If you know Taco Bell prices approx 10 years ago 48$ at Taco bell is a complete back seat full of food!
Yeah mate, we are an agrarian economy. NZ is a veritable food basket and there are so many shades of green it'd make a Irish man's eyes smile. Stay hearty.
😅 It is very amusing/entertaining to hear people enjoy Taco Bell. Here in Washington State Taco Bell is thought of a place to go if you are drunk or you forgot how well it cleaned you out last time.
That's so funny. I live in Florida and, there used to be a restaurant here in the 80s called Kystal. I'm not sure if they still have any here in Florida but, what you said about Taco Bell, applies to them. Although I did get a dinner and show one night. We went there, after we got our food , two of the employees started fighting in the restaurant. Black straight up fist fight
In America, it GENUINELY depends on what Taco Bell you go to/what time you go that determines whether the food will be any good. The effort of the employees definitely makes a huge difference!
I have a Taco Bell about 3 minutes from my house. It’s probably my most frequented fast food place, used to be my favorite but they’ve definitely slipped over the years. Still go there the most nonetheless *Edit: I have to add after watching this video, their Taco Bell food in New Zealand looks sooo much better than what I have here! My crunchwrap supreme always is flatter than a frisbee, and the tacos are nearly empty! I’m glad you guys had a great first experience!!
Taco Bell is 100% one of those places you go with friends late at night if you want something cheap and a lot of it. We know it's not top quality, but that's why we love it so much. Definitely not an every week type thing, but it's one of those special places you make memories at with your favorite people. Best thing on the menu: Beefy Chalupa Supreme
TB is definitely a guilty pleasure. Like a lot of these fast food places, the quality is hit-or-miss. When it's bad it's baaad, but when it's good it's pretty damn good. I love their chalupas and Doritos Locos tacos. The only fast food places I've known to have been consistently great are In-N-Out, Chick-fil-A, and Wendy's.
@@jdwilmoth5968 Where I live, you do not want to be in the drive-through at 8 PM, behind a truck with 5 guys from the local navy base in it. You will be told that your 3 tacos are going to take 15 minutes because the guys in front of you ordered more than $70 worth of food.
While overseas, someone asked me what American cuisine is like. I said take your native favorites, add cheese, spices, and or veggies for more flavor, and you have most American cuisine.
In America, every place that I have been to with a bell, when you ring it the employees all shout “woo” or “thank you” or “have a good day”. That’s always what make it really fun as a kid.
For someone who eats Taco Bell quite often I think I'm extremely impressed on how well they packed your food in boxes since here they would have smashed it all in a small bag.
One thing that stood out to me was , I heard you ask your daughter if she wanted beef, chicken, pork, or black beans. I live in Texas and traveled across some of the United States and have not heard of any Taco Bell offer pork or black beans. Our choices are usually beef(ground beef), chicken, or steak strips
It's because they went to a taco bell catering to their region, it's not an American one. Lk the Asian taco bells have more fish foods we have never had in America. Fries are not ever a menu item here unless it's that once a year that they promote the nacho fries for a few weeks thats not a regular food item here.
@@lynettefriedrichs4557 I've also traveled across the United States, but every single Taco Bell I've been to has had black beans as an option. And not just in a corner of the menus, it's literally emblazoned across the menu boards and in everything from Powerbowls to Quesaritos. Weird that we have these two differing experiences. But, no, I've never seen pork at Taco Bell.
@@StripedJacket Yes, I agree. The black beans are offered at Taco Bell in Texas. I know they make a Mexican Pizza with black beans, and the crunch wrap supreme, and a few other things. But pork also had me baffled.
I absolutely love this family. I literally check everyday for content from you. You're children are adorable, smart and funny. The two of you are charming and witty. I have so much love for your family because of the respect, honor and genuine love you show my beautiful country the United States of America 🇺🇸. Please come visit us.
I was stationed in England in the USAF back in the 90s. I remember when Taco Bell first opened on base. We already had Burger King, Baskin & Robbins, Popeyes Chicken, hot dog stand, food court and 2 pizza restaurants. The wait to get food at Taco Bell was 1.5 hours. The lines were around the block. Really enjoy your videos especially how positive you guys speak of the good old USA.
Hey I was in the Chair Force too! My dad was career Army, but we lived on an AFB in Okinawa in the 80s. There were no fast food restaurants when we first got there. A Burger King opened up on a nearby Marine base… worse than any Black Friday scene lol
It's not enough to make up for their pitiful portion size. They need to fill the taco shells. 1/4 inch deep is truly pathetic. It's the worst ripoff of any so-called "restaurant" where I have ever eaten.
American here and love Taco Bell for about 56 years now😁 but my treat is having authentic Mexican food in a real restaurant. We used to drive 2+ hours for an In n Out Burger! Glad you get to experience some American food.👍. Love your videos!
As an american, I understand how this can seem weird to those living in the US, "Its 'just' a Taco Bell" but as an american living is Norway, I get and understand your excitement... the thing I have come to understand is that these places also do not have the same foods all over the world when they open up. Mcdonalds here in Norway for example have a very limited menu compared to back home and the items taste different. So it is very true that the chain restaurants change the menus to match local taste pallette's. It was so refreshing to see your family's genuine excitement and enjoyment in this experience... Thanks for sharing!
Even within the US there's some variation; at least in Hawaii, McD's had spam and Portuguese sausage on their breakfast menu. And I've seen other US fast food chains have a lot of unique things in Korea, Taiwan and Japan.
This is also true not just on the country level, but even within the United States level. As a Texan, I’m used to having MULTIPLE options of dining/fast food. Now living in Wisconsin, I’ve realized that the food culture isn’t that great here. The McDonald’s here don’t even have Hot and Spicy’s, only regular mcchickens.
As much as I love you guys trying all the 'Popular' foods from the US. When you do make it to the US, your best bet for excellent food will be your local establishments. Taco Trucks in L.A., Pizza joint in NY, BBQ in Texas. Those are things that cannot be mass produced and exported.
@@danielobrien1 naaah. Texas definitely does BBQ better than the Carolina’s and it isn’t even close. I’m not from either place but I’ve lived in NC and Texas. Just because something was “invented” somewhere doesn’t automatically make it better.
@@bobasdfsdf To be honest Texas cant even be in the conversation. I'm talking southern BBQ. Texas is not southern and does not do pulled pork. Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee and Alabama are the only ones who have a right to claim they are the best place for BBQ.
I love that y’all embrace our culture so much. It’s so nice to hear positive things about America because most other videos are just people criticizing us and the comments are the same.
I’m a 64 YO lifelong Californian and have eaten Taco Bell for all those years. It’s my favorite fast food, hands down. Well, and In n Out. It’s not “real” Mexican food but it’s scratches an itch and satisfies every time when the craving hits!
Taco Bell is definitely not authentic Mexican food by any means but it's one of those cheap, late night craving foods. They stay open until 2am here, they actually serve Pepsi products so I'm SUPER jealous your Taco Bell serves Coca-Cola!! My favorite is the Cheesy Gordita Crunch. Another favorite here is the Doritos Locos Taco! Wonderful video, now I want some Taco Bell!
Taco bell is definitely a favorite in my house. Except my husband. He's not a big fan but he will eat it. One thing I noticed about your Taco Bell is they offered pork. We only get minced beef, chicken, or steak here in America. We also do not have chocolate quesadillas for dessert.
I’m an American, and it’s wild to see folks drive 2hrs for Taco Bell and say it’s a dream come true when Walmart comes. Glad you liked it! Yes, it’s very “American”, in that it’s loosely based on Mexican food and then we turn it into its own thing that’s most definitely not Mexican food, lol!
😆...things are exciting when the whole world talks of places you've never experienced (Walmart/TacoBell)and you finally get to see for yourself...Americans are accustomed, probably since it's the birth place of both. It was a BIG deal when Walmart came to Canada too
i like to think of as someone saying "hmm how can I make a 'taco' for a nickel" and that's taco bell in a world of its own its good mention it in the same breath as Mexican food and it's horrible taco bell is great food for the change that I found under my seat and that's about it
Totally love watching,,, I'm a navajo... Hello from navajo nation , 4 fours use... We the biggest native nation the largest.... You need to visit n try our food... 10 outta 10 watching your vlogs
@@edithdlp8045 I’m American too but anyone can say NZ is “far across the world” when they don’t live there 🤦♀️ But not impossible to go and visit there hun 🤦♀️
The weirdest thing to me is seeing the family sitting down with cans of Coke in a Taco Bell. In an American Taco Bell (as would be true with many American fast food places), you get a cup of soda (and there would be free refills). 😄
I've been watching your videos for a while, and I find that in general, your camera work and quality is quite good, and your family is charming and entertaining. Your videos are always a joy to watch!
As a Chicano, born and raised in Southern California, I have to say Taco Bell is a guilty pleasure of mine. I already have authentic Mexican food at home, but their Dorito Loco Tacos are to die for
Same here! 😂 I loved my mom’s homemade flautas and albongias growing up but I do get the cravings for Taco Bell once in a while 😂 the cheesy Gordita crunch is my favorite.
My parents live in the Philippines but visit us from time to time in Northern California. First words out of their mouth after I pick them up from SFO: Chalupa and Slurpees.
I love Taco Bell cheap, fast, and tasty. The art of taking a dozen ingredients and making forty items. Dad seems like a good friend, Mom sparkles and I bet her kids find her to be the best Mom. Denzi seems to be a funny guy and a good sport. He always makes faces and trys to make us all laugh and like most boy Dad is his compass. Atlanta is an absolute jewel, pretty little thing with a big heart. She seems 100% invested in this channel and her family, especially her little brother's happiness.
The food is of cheap quality and I wouldn’t call it cheap as inexpensive. It costs ~30% more than a burger fast food place. 2 tacos does not equal a burger.
Loved the video! I live in New Mexico, so it's practically illegal to go to Taco Bell since there are so many Mom and Pop Mexican restaurants here that are much better and authentic. But for your first time, I'm glad you got to try a variety. I hope someday you will be able to taste enchiladas, tamales, frito pie, Indian tacos, chile rellenos, and other delicious Amer-Mexican food.
illegal!! 🤣🤣 i get it, went to LA once.. and the taquerias were sooooo freakin good i couldnt imagine passing one up for a taco bell, no matter how much i enjoy taco bell
Taco Bell stole the receipts from his neighbors across the street from him a Mexican Cafe restaurant name Mitlas . Tom bell had a hot dog stand and it suck he looked across the the street and seen all the people go in this cafe. He befriended them and they showed him how to cook the food of course Taco Bell still didn’t get it right but he made millions off of it never given credit for i. Me personally I would never be placing a order at that dump
Enchiladas, tamales and , chile rellenos aren’t American foods. They are MEXICAN foods. Sure there are many Mexican restaurants in America, but that DOESN’T make them American. 😉👍🏼
@@josieojeda7235 In NM, they are Amer-Mex, because the people here who are of Spanish and Mexican ancestry, Americanized many of the foods. Creamy green chile chicken enchiladas, chile rellenos and tamales with red or green chiles. You Mexicans don't use the same ingredients as what is used in New Mexico. New Mexican cuisine is a mixture. Try getting out more.
The taco you didn't know what was, with the almost pancake like shell is called a Chalupa. My favorite items on the menu is the crunch wrap, Chalupa, and taco supreme. Oh, and Baja Blast Mountain Dew.
I love Taco Bell, but I'm jealous because that was the nicest looking Taco Bell I've ever seen. I've also never seen a chocolate quesadilla. That sounds interesting.
My exact reaction! Our dessert options from taco bell are either cinnamon twists, or Cinnabon bites. Also, we don't have a pork option, it's either beef or chicken- so, jealous!! Lol. Otherwise spot on just like home- love the brand new bldg- as most of our taco bells are old, we do have several remodeled ones, so not too bad, lol!
The menus in fast food restaurants vary depending on the country it's in. I went to a McDonald's in Paris, hoping to get a sausage biscuit for breakfast, and all they had on the breakfast menu were pastries! VERY DISSAPPOINTED! LOL
Nadine: "what is it?" Sam: "THATS MINE!" 🤣🤣🤣 I am astonished at the price difference. 🤯🤯 it's so much cheaper here in the US. I couldn't fathom spending almost $70 at fast food. 🙃 Yeah, we Americans love to dip or smother almost anything in cheese or cheese sauce! The chicken quesadilla & beef Supreme chalupa & Fiesta CHEESY potatoes are my favorites.
I remember my friend's son saying when he was here that the fast food place he wanted to try the most was KFC. I asked him if they had it in Peru. He said yes, in Lima, but that was an 8 hour drive. Since then, I have visited them again, and on the 2nd trip, they had something like 6 different chicken chains. KFC, a Brazilian place and lots of Peruvian ones. Chicken, chicken everywhere!
I am always so excited to see you all experiencing some of the great pasttimes. I worry sometimes what aspects of our culture are making it abroad and if they're the worst ones, so it's always a comfort to see people relishing in the good bits. Many warm wishes to you from your cousins in the US.
It's so much fun to see you try things we take for granted, for the first time. Taco bell is good when you're really hungry or in a hurry and need to eat something quickly. But it is in now way a good representation or real Mexican food. Glad you all liked it. Thanks for sharing with us.
Atlanta’s face when she saw the cheese sauce and said “it’s so American” was the best.. born and bred New Yorker can say I’ve probably been to Taco Bell maybe once! Great video.. and thanks for the 😊
@@shawnanderson6313 Well, my take on what Randee posted is that there are so many other Mexican restaurants to choose from (just as quick and better quality), there is no need to go to Taco Bell. Just so many more options. As a native New Yorker, I totally agree.
@@Kathleen5429 Maybe it's different in other locales but I think Taco Bell is crap. I can count on one hand the number of times I've eaten there in my 46 years. There are far better TexMex and Mexcian food options out there. The cliché here in the Midwest is that Taco Bell is somewhere you go at 2am when the bars close.
@@Kathleen5429 To consider Taco Bell authentic Mexican is first problem. It is Americanized version of Mexican food. There is no point in going to any fast food chain restaurant, there are many local places that do a much better job of a same food. Why do people go to McDonalds, Chipotle, Olive Garden, and many other places. Sometimes you want sometime you want some quick, inexpensive, and that is greasy. Taco Bell runs at 2am in college, were some the best food I had at that moment.
When I was a kid we used to have Jack in the box which was about the best tacos on the planet!!!! They're pretty much gone now and Taco Bell has the market cornered on tacos... Unless you live in a city with Mexican people. I used to live in East Chicago Indiana.. there's a place on Indianapolis boulevard that sells tacos for a buck .. they're small but they are so good!!! And you can watch them make everything
You can get a lot of good Mexican food in East Chicago Indiana..... Just don't stay afterwards... The town has been overrun with crime and drugs from African people... I moved out and I don't miss it a bit.
I just love the way you both enroll with your children and listen to their opinions on the stuff and man with all due respect Atlanta is an absolute art
I'm happy you got the sauce. I remember watching Irish people eating Taco Bell for the first time and they didn't put sauce on anything. The comments were all "YOU NEED TO USE THE TACO SAUCE!" lol I'm glad you enjoyed and now you have me hungry for a chalupa.
So here's my list of items on your menu i've never seen here in California: pulled pork, cali burrito, fries, canned soda, loaded nachos, chocodilla, chicken strips, Pump water, keri juice, Schwepes Range. We have 4 sauces: mild, hot, fire, and diablo
I'm in Michigan and live about 10 minutes from a Taco. It's not my first choice for fast food but when I do go I get the nacho chips and cheese with a chicken quasidilla. I find it fascinating that they drove 2 hours to try it out but I am glad they enjoyed it. ❤
I laughed out loud when they were so excited for the American Taco Bell experience and then she chooses pork for her Chalupa. LOL Pretty sure I've never seen pork as an option on anything at Taco Bell. I wonder if they get any of the crazy seasonal items like the best one ever, the Naked Chicken Chalupa.
Don't know if they have these items there in NZ, but my go-to menu items in the states are the cheesy gordita crunch, the beefy 5-layer burrito and a mt. dew baja blast. Yum!
Especially one that's a 4 hour round trip. In the US, it'd be 2 hours of really contemplating your life's decisions up to that point with the 2 hour trip back to your bathroom's untimely demise.
Every year for the NBA draft, my Dad picks up a giant Taco Bell order for our house. It’s becomes a tradition. Taco Bell isn’t necessarily the highest in quality, but as far as some late night fast food goes when you’re hungry, it’s some of the best in America. Especially those 2 AM runs haha! Great video NZ Family! Love from New Jersey in the United States!
I worked at Taco Bell in high school, so I definitely had my fill of trying everything there. I still eat it time to time as an adult. My favorite thing to get at Taco Bell is 5 layer burrito or a chalupa. Love your guys videos! Hello from Missouri!
When I worked there in the mid 90's , I got a kick out of the fact that the boxes of meat said PRODUCT OF AUSTRALIA, it often made me think of kangaroo meat ...
Haven’t even finished the video but that photo of the family on the front is priceless. You are all so perfectly posed. It brought a smile to my face! Good luck too you. I’ll be watching more!
For Denzi: If it's too spicy for you, get a side of sour cream either for dipping or order it on your tacos. Sour cream takes the heat down. It's common to make this adjustment for any spicy food for kids or adults who don't care for the spice.
Goodness gracious, your family is so pure, the true ideal genuine happy family. It's almost too taboo for these times. I mean this is now a rare truth. Congratulations guys, you've won in this game of life.🙂
This was too cute y’all. Taco Bell is late night drunk food here in the states but now I’ll start thinking of it as authentic American cuisine 😂 Also something that is a MUST at Taco Bell is the Baja Blast Mountain Dew. If they ever offer that you should try it!
As an American, I grew up taking two things for granted: Taco Bell and the idea that the rest of the world had nothing but contempt for anything or anyone American. Saw this video and thought "What a nice wholesome family, with such a charming accent, and they don't hate Americans!" Well I just had to subscribe. Edit: And now I have a craving for a burrito supreme.
@@jonathanlantzy7526 Watching at 1am in the country. Eating whatever I can get my hands on at the moment, but it's not quite doing it! I'd like some Nacho fries or Nachos bell grande please!
Contempt? And how many countries outside the U.S. have you been to, to come to that conclusion? Most of Europe and even parts of the middle east loved Americans, but usually because they think you'll spend more. So I'm real curious...last place I visted was Portugal and the UAE and it was nothing but love.
What a fun family! I’m in my 60s and grew up with Taco Bell. When I was young and had no money, it was a very affordable meal. Pintos and cheese (with mild sauce) was probably close to an 8 ounce serving in a paper cup for 69¢ in the mid-seventies. Now, it’s maybe three ounces. Taco Bell is a commercial fast food. Some folks say it’s not real Mexican food, due to the processed nature of the products. My favorite is a Mexican street taco - two 4” corn tortillas, with seasoned beef, onions and cilantro. We make these at home, though a lot of restaurants here in California have their own version. I buy the Taco Bell mild sauce by the bottle from the grocery store, add cheese and that mild sauce to my street tacos. Try it, you’ll love it!

I loved the video. Me personally, I like Del Taco more than Taco Bell. Del Taco is in only 16 states
As a Californian, I’m surrounded by amazing Mexican food. Still, I absolutely love Taco Bell. However, I don’t go to Taco Bell when I’m wanting Mexican food. I go to Taco Bell when I’m wanting Taco Bell. It lives in a realm of its own and I find it to be super comforting
exactly. taco bell is not for when you're hungry for mexican food. taco bell is for when you're drunk, it's midnight and you want a taco
Exactly. An I just LOVE Taco Bell
Yep. Taco Bell is Taco Bell. It is not Mexican but I still love it
When I am wanting Taco Bell = when I am drunk and on my way home from the bar lol
I'm from California and totally agree with this statement.
I love the daughter saying "Its so American" as a positive thing. That was cool, as an American, seeing a postive response towards things American.
i agree dudes good dad they got good parents for sure this channel is amazing
Shes right the cheese dipping sauce is as american as it gets 😂
I agree it was comforting to hear
Regardless of what u see on cnn and the media America is still a great country
This whole channel is pro American, that's what baits American subscribers. They're not dumb.
“I’m expecting great things here” is not something I’ve ever heard someone say about a visit to a Taco Bell prior to seeing this video. Still a late night run for a couple of chicken soft tacos can’t be beat
Loved your 1st comment, and I agree. New Zealanders must live a sheltered life. ya gotta admit, the pork option would be amazing.
Chicken soft with sour cream and regular crispy tacos with sour cream buy in bulk yummmm
Taco bell has chicken? Think its been like 10 years since I have been there.
@@raziel3546 yeah you can substitute the ground beef on the soft taco with either chicken or steak. I’ve been getting the chicken soft taco when I go to Taco Bell for like 20 years, although I did flirt with chalupas a few years back
@@xxxterm I don’t even bother looking at the menu when I go through the drive thru. I pull up to the speaker and I’m immediately just like, “ Yeah, I’ll get two chicken soft tacos and a Mountain Dew”
I found this family because I’m really sick of the news and I really love the enthusiasm for Taco Bell. What a great family.
The lil girl “there’s cheese sauce! That’s so American!” 😂 yes, you’ve called us out darlin’. ❤️, 🇺🇸
Cheese sauce and ranch dressing. On everything. That’s American 😃
To be fair to us Americans I think the French started the cheese sauce trend. We just perfected it.
I wish Americans still felt like this about being American..
I live in a central IL city. We have a meal called a "horseshoe". Its bread topped with hamburger patty, topped with fries and covered in cheese sauce. Every local restaurant has their own spin. Some use a different meat, different variety of spud or change up the cheese sauce. I personally think its way too much cheese!

@@FretlessMayhemSonny's is still here in Vero
Arizona Here, I had a Hungry Howie’s pizza down the street from me, went there once and it gave me the runs. Not too long after that they got shut down. @@FretlessMayhem
Why do I love watching you guys? Your sons face when he took the first bite of his cheese fry....Priceless 🙂
I love how wholesome these videos are. The only thing they didn't have were the refillable drinks for you.
Absolutely LOVE the upload consistency. Every time I see a notification, my day gets better. Wouldn't be the same without you guys!
I agree!
Love you guys so much! Every time I watch you you put a smile on my face! I hope you guys get a chance to try the Mexican pizza. It just came back in the united states. It was gone for several years and hopefully you guys get it in the Z land!
Hopefully it doesn't take them too long to recover from Taco Bell. I'm sure they have better quality control standards in NZ to cut down on the after effects of the low grade poorly stored meat and excessive preservatives though.
You've done a wonderful job raising your kids!
They are smart and polite!
Awesome video!
That's what I always think to myself when I watch their videos. I used to be a public school teacher, and I remember praying to have kids like these two kids. lol
The kids are a joy.
You're right. They're all awesome 😎
I do agree. Very happy family and children are very respectful
I love your family’s energy and enthusiasm. You guys are inspiring
The line that made me laugh the most has to be when the daughter looks at the Crunchwrap and with huge eyes asks, "What's that!?"
Dad: "That's MINE!" 🤣
LoL that's the mom that says that. I just found this families videos today and they offer a unique perception.
As an American I think we take our access to so many fast food restaurants for granted. It is so easily available that we don't realize what a treat it is. It's fun watching your family enjoy Taco Bell.
It's so easy to point out the human garbage disposals of fast food walking the streets of America.😅🤣😂
Good lmfaooo we don’t need fast food
@@lmilly1359 it’s not too bad, it’s something your suppose to have once in a long while when you do want it, but people abuse it do to there being so many and lack of self control.
I have 3 Taco Bells in my area. One south, one north, one east, the lake is to the west, so no Taco Bell there.
But all 3 are too far for me to drive my V8 truck over for an inexpensive meal, despite liking Taco Bell on an inconsistent basis. There isn't one directly near me, in my city.
I can always hope they build one here.
Ages ago they had a very small one inside of a gas station, like 20 yrs ago, but it didn't last long.
@@mattyice5290 I agree. It's cheap though. But even if a Taco Bell was convenient to me I would probably only eat there every 2-3 months or longer.
The girl’s excitement about the cheese sauce was so cute lol “that is so American!” Lol I can confirm that it is 😫🤣
i rewatched that part 3 times and laughed just as hard each time.
I don’t know to be offended or prideful. Hilarious either way haha. Love the families reactions
I was just sad that she was so excited but didn't end up enjoying it. Can't be offended, to be attributed to cheese sauce is an honor imo.
Atlanta knows what's up
I'd like to think we've given the world more than nacho cheese, but if that's it, I'm okay with it because it is delicious.
After watching only a few of your videos, I must admit that I really enjoy that you guys are doing everything as a family. From here in northern Minnesota, great job and keep it up 👍🏼
Love the daughter’s reaction when she saw the cheese sauce. 😂 So America.
I mean she is not wrong, we can will find a way to dip everything in cheese.
Right 👍
We got WAYYYYY too much food.
Somewhere in the distance: Oh-oh say can you seeeeeeeee
Me too! 😂
Taco Bell is the definition of Cheap drunk food after a night out, really fun to watch people enjoy things that they have heard about for a while. Y’all are so positive and it’s refreshing. Love from SF!
Jack in the Box too depending where in the US you live!
Taco Bell used to be cheap you've been there lately it's anything but cheap you got to take out a loan to buy anything
Del Taco in some parts of the country (southern CA for sure) is better, as the food tastes better and the prices are much cheaper. Stopped in there many weekend nights at 2am to get a late meal on the way home from some fun events.
one time me and my friends went to pick up taco bell for an entire party. We got so much taco bell our receipt was like 48$. If you know Taco Bell prices approx 10 years ago 48$ at Taco bell is a complete back seat full of food!
@@franksmith2129 Taco Bell is still far cheaper than the other fast food chains.
I love the overhead drone shots, New Zealand is so pastoral and beautiful. I didn't realize how green it was.
Yeah mate, we are an agrarian economy. NZ is a veritable food basket and there are so many shades of green it'd make a Irish man's eyes smile. Stay hearty.
😅 It is very amusing/entertaining to hear people enjoy Taco Bell. Here in Washington State Taco Bell is thought of a place to go if you are drunk or you forgot how well it cleaned you out last time.
So funny! I’m in WA too and just commented that it’s a good idea only when you’re drunk 😂
That’s what I was gonna say and I’m in Wisconsin 😂
I will take Taco Time 10 times out of 10 over Taco Bell.
That said, I now want to try the Chocodilla…we don’t get that one in the USA.
@@DontLookAtMeLookAtPoo now I want Taco Time. A crispy bean burrito. So PNW! 🎵 “Good good, fresh fresh, talkin bout the very best - Taco Time” 🎶
That's so funny. I live in Florida and, there used to be a restaurant here in the 80s called Kystal. I'm not sure if they still have any here in Florida but, what you said about Taco Bell, applies to them. Although I did get a dinner and show one night. We went there, after we got our food , two of the employees started fighting in the restaurant. Black straight up fist fight
In America, it GENUINELY depends on what Taco Bell you go to/what time you go that determines whether the food will be any good. The effort of the employees definitely makes a huge difference!
Absolutely. The Taco Bell near my home is trash, but the one near my job always hits the spot.
Taco Bell is great ! Healthy Michigander here as a treat! Yes!
It's all poison!
I have a Taco Bell about 3 minutes from my house. It’s probably my most frequented fast food place, used to be my favorite but they’ve definitely slipped over the years. Still go there the most nonetheless
*Edit: I have to add after watching this video, their Taco Bell food in New Zealand looks sooo much better than what I have here! My crunchwrap supreme always is flatter than a frisbee, and the tacos are nearly empty! I’m glad you guys had a great first experience!!
You mean to tell me some of them put effort into the quality and service?
Not in any that I've been to in NY, CT, NJ, or MA.
Taco Bell is 100% one of those places you go with friends late at night if you want something cheap and a lot of it. We know it's not top quality, but that's why we love it so much. Definitely not an every week type thing, but it's one of those special places you make memories at with your favorite people.
Best thing on the menu: Beefy Chalupa Supreme
It's about the only thing open in some areas after the bars close well , got to add white castle
It's like the waffle House they catch the drunk business when the bars close that late at night
@@josephjones611 I've tried White Castle I'm not real fond of it I prefer Whataburger or braum's
TB is definitely a guilty pleasure. Like a lot of these fast food places, the quality is hit-or-miss. When it's bad it's baaad, but when it's good it's pretty damn good. I love their chalupas and Doritos Locos tacos. The only fast food places I've known to have been consistently great are In-N-Out, Chick-fil-A, and Wendy's.
@@jdwilmoth5968 Where I live, you do not want to be in the drive-through at 8 PM, behind a truck with 5 guys from the local navy base in it. You will be told that your 3 tacos are going to take 15 minutes because the guys in front of you ordered more than $70 worth of food.
Best quote: Atlanta: "It's cheese dipping sauce. That's so American!" Very true! P.S. Great editing in this one, Sam!
Lol
Yeah I cracked up laughing hearing that
While overseas, someone asked me what American cuisine is like. I said take your native favorites, add cheese, spices, and or veggies for more flavor, and you have most American cuisine.
I like to mix Fire sauce into the cheese for more zing!
Yes, indeed, we put cheese on our cheese!😂
In America, every place that I have been to with a bell, when you ring it the employees all shout “woo” or “thank you” or “have a good day”. That’s always what make it really fun as a kid.
Knowing taco bell literally my entire life , this reminds me to appreciate the small things , like taco bell . Sometimes something new can be amazing.
For someone who eats Taco Bell quite often I think I'm extremely impressed on how well they packed your food in boxes since here they would have smashed it all in a small bag.
Love their enthusiasm on the American way! Things we take for granted here was a pleasant surprise to be so welcomed in NZ.
One thing that stood out to me was , I heard you ask your daughter if she wanted beef, chicken, pork, or black beans. I live in Texas and traveled across some of the United States and have not heard of any Taco Bell offer pork or black beans. Our choices are usually beef(ground beef), chicken, or steak strips
It's because they went to a taco bell catering to their region, it's not an American one. Lk the Asian taco bells have more fish foods we have never had in America. Fries are not ever a menu item here unless it's that once a year that they promote the nacho fries for a few weeks thats not a regular food item here.
@@martinez16chris yes, I know that. By saying that I was just trying to let them know that it is a difference between our Taco Bell and theirs.
@@lynettefriedrichs4557 I've also traveled across the United States, but every single Taco Bell I've been to has had black beans as an option. And not just in a corner of the menus, it's literally emblazoned across the menu boards and in everything from Powerbowls to Quesaritos. Weird that we have these two differing experiences. But, no, I've never seen pork at Taco Bell.
Black beans are normal, pork is a whaaaaaat to me
@@StripedJacket Yes, I agree. The black beans are offered at Taco Bell in Texas. I know they make a Mexican Pizza with black beans, and the crunch wrap supreme, and a few other things. But pork also had me baffled.
This is the most wholesome video I think I've ever seen. Absolutely adorable family.
I absolutely love this family. I literally check everyday for content from you. You're children are adorable, smart and funny. The two of you are charming and witty. I have so much love for your family because of the respect, honor and genuine love you show my beautiful country the United States of America 🇺🇸. Please come visit us.
These parents have their own mini-me's. Such a spitting image. Great family
I was stationed in England in the USAF back in the 90s. I remember when Taco Bell first opened on base. We already had Burger King, Baskin & Robbins, Popeyes Chicken, hot dog stand, food court and 2 pizza restaurants. The wait to get food at Taco Bell was 1.5 hours. The lines were around the block. Really enjoy your videos especially how positive you guys speak of the good old USA.
Hey I was in the Chair Force too! My dad was career Army, but we lived on an AFB in Okinawa in the 80s. There were no fast food restaurants when we first got there. A Burger King opened up on a nearby Marine base… worse than any Black Friday scene lol
Your excitement is infectious… lovely family ❤️👍🇺🇸
This has got to be the greatest taco bell hype video of all time. Lol I love it.
It's not enough to make up for their pitiful portion size. They need to fill the taco shells. 1/4 inch deep is truly pathetic. It's the worst ripoff of any so-called "restaurant" where I have ever eaten.
Agreed!💯
American here and love Taco Bell for about 56 years now😁 but my treat is having authentic Mexican food in a real restaurant. We used to drive 2+ hours for an In n Out Burger! Glad you get to experience some American food.👍. Love your videos!
Sacramentoian here! Taco Bell IS Real Mexican food! It just has lots of Preservatives like all fast food!
As an american, I understand how this can seem weird to those living in the US, "Its 'just' a Taco Bell" but as an american living is Norway, I get and understand your excitement... the thing I have come to understand is that these places also do not have the same foods all over the world when they open up. Mcdonalds here in Norway for example have a very limited menu compared to back home and the items taste different. So it is very true that the chain restaurants change the menus to match local taste pallette's. It was so refreshing to see your family's genuine excitement and enjoyment in this experience... Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for your perspective. It’s so helpful to hear from Americans in other countries. Love it! ❤️
I had the same experience when I was living abroad. When we moved back, we gained like 10lbs because we ate so much American fast food, LOL.
Ive eaten McDonalds in Spain, Greece, Italy, Germany, Holland and Egypt. All tastes the same. WTF are they doing in Norway?
Even within the US there's some variation; at least in Hawaii, McD's had spam and Portuguese sausage on their breakfast menu. And I've seen other US fast food chains have a lot of unique things in Korea, Taiwan and Japan.
This is also true not just on the country level, but even within the United States level. As a Texan, I’m used to having MULTIPLE options of dining/fast food. Now living in Wisconsin, I’ve realized that the food culture isn’t that great here. The McDonald’s here don’t even have Hot and Spicy’s, only regular mcchickens.
As much as I love you guys trying all the 'Popular' foods from the US. When you do make it to the US, your best bet for excellent food will be your local establishments. Taco Trucks in L.A., Pizza joint in NY, BBQ in Texas. Those are things that cannot be mass produced and exported.
I agree with everything but BBQ in Texas. Gotta go to the Carolinas where it was invented.
@@danielobrien1 naaah. Texas definitely does BBQ better than the Carolina’s and it isn’t even close. I’m not from either place but I’ve lived in NC and Texas. Just because something was “invented” somewhere doesn’t automatically make it better.
@@bobasdfsdf Texas for brisket and Carolina for ribs.
@@danielobrien1 Actually Kansas City beat all other states for BBQ. Hands down!
@@bobasdfsdf To be honest Texas cant even be in the conversation. I'm talking southern BBQ. Texas is not southern and does not do pulled pork. Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee and Alabama are the only ones who have a right to claim they are the best place for BBQ.
What a beautiful family. It's so nice to see a family enjoying the simple things in life as one.
I live in Iowa, our local Taco Bell restaurants have fountain 💕PEPSI products 💕. My favorite item is their Mexican Pizza! 🌸
I startled the dogs with my laughing at your, “Oh, it’s all true!” 😂😂😂

@@KevlarX2 lmfao oh nooo.
I’m glad you’re family enjoyed Taco Bell! Much love from the USA 🇺🇸!
I love that y’all embrace our culture so much. It’s so nice to hear positive things about America because most other videos are just people criticizing us and the comments are the same.
It’s Mexican American culture because Taco Bell is Latino food mixed with American touches

@@MarcosCorderoBALDO pull the stick out please life is too short
@@daveyhouston 😎😎😎😎😎😎😎
I’m a 64 YO lifelong Californian and have eaten Taco Bell for all those years. It’s my favorite fast food, hands down. Well, and In n Out. It’s not “real” Mexican food but it’s scratches an itch and satisfies every time when the craving hits!
Taco Bell is definitely not authentic Mexican food by any means but it's one of those cheap, late night craving foods. They stay open until 2am here, they actually serve Pepsi products so I'm SUPER jealous your Taco Bell serves Coca-Cola!! My favorite is the Cheesy Gordita Crunch. Another favorite here is the Doritos Locos Taco! Wonderful video, now I want some Taco Bell!
Not even real Tex-Mex
To be fair, it’s as much Mexican as mc Donald’s is a burger… the ingredients are all there. It’s the quality that is lacking.
Taco Bell serves Pepsi because Taco Bell, as well as Pizza Hut and KFC are owned by Pepsi.
You're exactly right on the Mexican part, but in Texas We have Texmex which is also awesome.
couldnt of said it better
Taco bell is definitely a favorite in my house. Except my husband. He's not a big fan but he will eat it. One thing I noticed about your Taco Bell is they offered pork. We only get minced beef, chicken, or steak here in America. We also do not have chocolate quesadillas for dessert.
Said the same. Pork, weird
@@420k_trey5 I mean pork and steak is the most used meat in traditional tacos.
@@Ge0McNasty but never taco bell. And that was the exact and only point. It's weird that, TACO BELL, is offering pork. K, thanks.
I had my first chocolate quesadilla at work last week.
For real add marshmallow and that would be a thousand times better than a s'mores. FOR REAL!
I’m an American, and it’s wild to see folks drive 2hrs for Taco Bell and say it’s a dream come true when Walmart comes. Glad you liked it! Yes, it’s very “American”, in that it’s loosely based on Mexican food and then we turn it into its own thing that’s most definitely not Mexican food, lol!
😆...things are exciting when the whole world talks of places you've never experienced (Walmart/TacoBell)and you finally get to see for yourself...Americans are accustomed, probably since it's the birth place of both. It was a BIG deal when Walmart came to Canada too
Taco Bell has always been a Tex Mex place. Idk if they ever had actual Mexican.
Yeah I can't stand Walmart, worked there when I was younger. Just too many people in there and it causes me to have anxiety attacks lol.
But OH, SO GOOD 👍
i like to think of as someone saying "hmm how can I make a 'taco' for a nickel" and that's taco bell in a world of its own its good mention it in the same breath as Mexican food and it's horrible taco bell is great food for the change that I found under my seat and that's about it
Totally love watching,,,

I would Love to visit New Zealand one day. It looks like a beautiful country.
I am American and New Zealand is extremely far literally on the other side of the world.
@@edithdlp8045 I’m American too but anyone can say NZ is “far across the world” when they don’t live there 🤦♀️ But not impossible to go and visit there hun 🤦♀️
The weirdest thing to me is seeing the family sitting down with cans of Coke in a Taco Bell. In an American Taco Bell (as would be true with many American fast food places), you get a cup of soda (and there would be free refills). 😄
I know where is the Baja Blast? (though part of me wondered if they brought them in with them)
I think Taco Bell is owned by Pepsi so here there would never be coke!
@@sallyanderson5197 in some countries the restaurant, franchise or not can dictate the beverages sold at there establishment
Omg I thought the same thing… Cans of pop? So strange.. They also sell beer at ours in Chicago
They mentioned in their Costco (?) video that restaurants in NZ don’t offer free refills unlike the US.
I've been watching your videos for a while, and I find that in general, your camera work and quality is quite good, and your family is charming and entertaining. Your videos are always a joy to watch!
I love the family dynamics, they are fun, share everything, respect .
As a Chicano, born and raised in Southern California, I have to say Taco Bell is a guilty pleasure of mine. I already have authentic Mexican food at home, but their Dorito Loco Tacos are to die for
I like the Gordias they are very expensive but worth buying.
Same here! 😂 I loved my mom’s homemade flautas and albongias growing up but I do get the cravings for Taco Bell once in a while 😂 the cheesy Gordita crunch is my favorite.
I know an El Salvadorean woman who LOVES their breakfast burritos.
My parents live in the Philippines but visit us from time to time in Northern California.
First words out of their mouth after I pick them up from SFO: Chalupa and Slurpees.
Yeah those are good, but those flour tortillas that are like bread are gross.
"Omg theres cheese dipping sauce, that's so American!"
That had me dying laughing hahah
Yeah. So is heart disease and diabetes! 😀
@@Onewholovesrock cant relate as an american
I love Taco Bell cheap, fast, and tasty.
The art of taking a dozen ingredients and making forty items.
Dad seems like a good friend, Mom sparkles and I bet her kids find her to be the best Mom.
Denzi seems to be a funny guy and a good sport. He always makes faces and trys to make us all laugh and like most boy Dad is his compass.
Atlanta is an absolute jewel, pretty little thing with a big heart. She seems 100% invested in this channel and her family, especially her little brother's happiness.
The greatness of the chicken quesadilla is the creamy jalapeño sauce. You can get cups of it as an extra side sauce. So good on everything.
Hands down my favorite video yet. The genuine happiness and gratefulness that you all emanate is wholesome and priceless. Please never change.
I'm glad you guys liked it! Taco Bell is one of the cheapest fast food places in the US as well.
The food is of cheap quality and I wouldn’t call it cheap as inexpensive. It costs ~30% more than a burger fast food place. 2 tacos does not equal a burger.
@@Cheesedream it's just as quality as any other fast food place
Cheap? This family spent $68 NZD($43 US) on freaking Taco Bell not to mention the gas they burned on a 4 hour round trip.
Not since Covid. The prices on everything there skyrocketed to where I'm paying nearly double.
Loved the video! I live in New Mexico, so it's practically illegal to go to Taco Bell since there are so many Mom and Pop Mexican restaurants here that are much better and authentic. But for your first time, I'm glad you got to try a variety. I hope someday you will be able to taste enchiladas, tamales, frito pie, Indian tacos, chile rellenos, and other delicious Amer-Mexican food.
illegal!! 🤣🤣 i get it, went to LA once.. and the taquerias were sooooo freakin good i couldnt imagine passing one up for a taco bell, no matter how much i enjoy taco bell
Taco Bell stole the receipts from his neighbors across the street from him a Mexican Cafe restaurant name Mitlas . Tom bell had a hot dog stand and it suck he looked across the the street and seen all the people go in this cafe. He befriended them and they showed him how to cook the food of course Taco Bell still didn’t get it right but he made millions off of it never given credit for i. Me personally I would never be placing a order at that dump
Enchiladas, tamales and , chile rellenos aren’t American foods. They are MEXICAN foods. Sure there are many Mexican restaurants in America, but that DOESN’T make them American. 😉👍🏼
It’s just as illegal as the people living there
@@josieojeda7235 In NM, they are Amer-Mex, because the people here who are of Spanish and Mexican ancestry, Americanized many of the foods. Creamy green chile chicken enchiladas, chile rellenos and tamales with red or green chiles. You Mexicans don't use the same ingredients as what is used in New Mexico. New Mexican cuisine is a mixture. Try getting out more.
New Zealand is so Beautiful! You are very lucky ❤👏
As an American who used to eat Taco Bell multiple times a week, I am happy to see you enjoyed it! :)
As an American, I love your videos. I watch them to learn more about your country.
Loved that mid video cut with Dad sitting at the editing station confirming Taco Bell's most well known in-joke lol
1k likes 🤣
Wouldn't that be an "out"-joke 😁
@@TheRavenCoder touche
You are all amazingly fun to watch. So good for the family and hilarious at the same time.
The taco you didn't know what was, with the almost pancake like shell is called a Chalupa. My favorite items on the menu is the crunch wrap, Chalupa, and taco supreme. Oh, and Baja Blast Mountain Dew.
the cheesy gordita crunch is king and no i will not explain further.
Right. Chalupa's and crunch wraps are two different food items. The 2nd one Sam tried was the crunch wrap.
I’m willing to bet that Baja blast Mountain Dew is not available in NZ
@@monkeyballs512 Yeah, they were drinking Coke, but in the US Taco Bell sells Pepsi products.
When I was in college in the 90's, our local Taco Bell had 10 cent tacos on Sundays. It was freaking amazing!
I remember when they had a taco bell kids meal
@@davidfaxon3336 what was in the kids meal?
@@timlois a 2 tacos, cinnamon twist, and a toy
I love Taco Bell, but I'm jealous because that was the nicest looking Taco Bell I've ever seen. I've also never seen a chocolate quesadilla. That sounds interesting.
Same! Makes me want to grab some Nutella, a tortilla, and try to make one at home! 😋
Bet the floors aren't even sticky yet haha
And an actual bell to ring; that's different
My exact reaction! Our dessert options from taco bell are either cinnamon twists, or Cinnabon bites. Also, we don't have a pork option, it's either beef or chicken- so, jealous!! Lol. Otherwise spot on just like home- love the brand new bldg- as most of our taco bells are old, we do have several remodeled ones, so not too bad, lol!
The menus in fast food restaurants vary depending on the country it's in. I went to a McDonald's in Paris, hoping to get a sausage biscuit for breakfast, and all they had on the breakfast menu were pastries! VERY DISSAPPOINTED! LOL
I AM A SENIOR WOMAN YOUR CHILDREN ARE SO SWEET, BUT YOUR DAUGHTER IS A GEM...GOD BLESS.. USA!
Nadine: "what is it?"
Sam: "THATS MINE!"
🤣🤣🤣
I am astonished at the price difference. 🤯🤯 it's so much cheaper here in the US. I couldn't fathom spending almost $70 at fast food. 🙃 Yeah, we Americans love to dip or smother almost anything in cheese or cheese sauce! The chicken quesadilla & beef Supreme chalupa & Fiesta CHEESY potatoes are my favorites.
I did the exchange with NZ dollars. It came out to be about $43 US.
The currency conversion rate is about $1 US = $1.60 NZ, so it cost about $45 US.
We spend about that for a family of 5. Kids are teens, so they get a lot.
At this point with inflation a fast food meal is about $10 person so $43 US for four people is acceptable. Plus you got a large amount of food.
@@themoviedealers I can still eat there for less than $10 even if I substitute steak for the hamburger
Wow driving two hours just to try a new fast food chain, you guys sound more American then you give yourself credit for 😁
Right
Still better off than me, nearest taco bell is about 4 hours away. (I'm in Canada)
I remember my friend's son saying when he was here that the fast food place he wanted to try the most was KFC. I asked him if they had it in Peru. He said yes, in Lima, but that was an 8 hour drive. Since then, I have visited them again, and on the 2nd trip, they had something like 6 different chicken chains. KFC, a Brazilian place and lots of Peruvian ones. Chicken, chicken everywhere!
Lol agreed!
We are driving to Vegas, just to try a BBQ place.
Where I live anything beyond half an hour is considered ridiculous. I have no problem traveling an hour or 2 to Boston for good Mexican
I’m first! Love you the family. I pray for you well being & blessings.
I am always so excited to see you all experiencing some of the great pasttimes. I worry sometimes what aspects of our culture are making it abroad and if they're the worst ones, so it's always a comfort to see people relishing in the good bits. Many warm wishes to you from your cousins in the US.
P.S. Cheesy Gordita crunch is the way to go!
It's so much fun to see you try things we take for granted, for the first time. Taco bell is good when you're really hungry or in a hurry and need to eat something quickly. But it is in now way a good representation or real Mexican food. Glad you all liked it. Thanks for sharing with us.
Or when you’re drunk and hungry after a night out 😂
Atlanta’s face when she saw the cheese sauce and said “it’s so American” was the best.. born and bred New Yorker can say I’ve probably been to Taco Bell maybe once! Great video.. and thanks for the 😊
Sad existence
@@shawnanderson6313 Well, my take on what Randee posted is that there are so many other Mexican restaurants to choose from (just as quick and better quality), there is no need to go to Taco Bell. Just so many more options. As a native New Yorker, I totally agree.
@@Kathleen5429 Maybe it's different in other locales but I think Taco Bell is crap. I can count on one hand the number of times I've eaten there in my 46 years. There are far better TexMex and Mexcian food options out there. The cliché here in the Midwest is that Taco Bell is somewhere you go at 2am when the bars close.
@@Kathleen5429 To consider Taco Bell authentic Mexican is first problem. It is Americanized version of Mexican food. There is no point in going to any fast food chain restaurant, there are many local places that do a much better job of a same food. Why do people go to McDonalds, Chipotle, Olive Garden, and many other places. Sometimes you want sometime you want some quick, inexpensive, and that is greasy. Taco Bell runs at 2am in college, were some the best food I had at that moment.
You're so good with those drone shots! And taking the extra time to get the truck leaving shot, good work!
Loved that too..the under carriage shot was pretty cool!
It's trendy to make fun of Taco Bell, but it was what kept me alive during college...and I live in Texas where Mexican food is on nearly every corner.
When I was a kid we used to have Jack in the box which was about the best tacos on the planet!!!!
They're pretty much gone now and Taco Bell has the market cornered on tacos... Unless you live in a city with Mexican people. I used to live in East Chicago Indiana.. there's a place on Indianapolis boulevard that sells tacos for a buck
.. they're small but they are so good!!! And you can watch them make everything
You can get a lot of good Mexican food in East Chicago Indiana..... Just don't stay afterwards... The town has been overrun with crime and drugs from African people... I moved out and I don't miss it a bit.
I just love the way you both enroll with your children and listen to their opinions on the stuff and man with all due respect Atlanta is an absolute art
I'm happy you got the sauce. I remember watching Irish people eating Taco Bell for the first time and they didn't put sauce on anything. The comments were all "YOU NEED TO USE THE TACO SAUCE!" lol I'm glad you enjoyed and now you have me hungry for a chalupa.
Chalupa is my weakness. 😆😭

Mine too. I sure miss those $5 chalupa boxes.
I know exactly what video you’re talking about when they didn’t get any sauce.
I never use the sauce and I still love their food!😋
One should be able to enjoy the food without sauce packets. If it can’t be done, there’s something fundamentally wrong with the food. Just saying.
So here's my list of items on your menu i've never seen here in California: pulled pork, cali burrito, fries, canned soda, loaded nachos, chocodilla, chicken strips, Pump water, keri juice, Schwepes Range. We have 4 sauces: mild, hot, fire, and diablo
Sometimes Taco Bell has the nacho fries. But other than that, same in Colorado. I’ve never seen any of those items
I live in Indiana and never seen chocolate quesodilla either
I’ve never seen pork on the US menu
We have verde sauce in Iowa as well.
I’m in Michigan and I think I’ve seen loaded nachos. Haven’t been there in a decade though.
I'm in Michigan and live about 10 minutes from a Taco. It's not my first choice for fast food but when I do go I get the nacho chips and cheese with a chicken quasidilla. I find it fascinating that they drove 2 hours to try it out but I am glad they enjoyed it. ❤
I love how the mom always says “that’s yum” never heard that before
Well since Taco Bell is Part of YUM Brands, she is spot on.
The people who say they “hate” Taco Bell are the ones who once LOVED Taco Bell, but ate Taco Bell until they just can’t eat it anymore.
Totally agree
I love Taco Bell but it make me wanna shit unstop
Taco bell is crap
Yeah until it makes you puking 🤢 sick!
FACTS!
I laughed out loud when they were so excited for the American Taco Bell experience and then she chooses pork for her Chalupa. LOL Pretty sure I've never seen pork as an option on anything at Taco Bell. I wonder if they get any of the crazy seasonal items like the best one ever, the Naked Chicken Chalupa.
Yep. I've never seen pork as an option, and never seen cheese sauce as a side like that.
Yeah, pork is really not an option in Taco Bell as far as I've seen.
I thought the exact same thing. Lol
We get it here in Texas as Carnitas.
I was shocked and irrationally appalled.
Don't know if they have these items there in NZ, but my go-to menu items in the states are the cheesy gordita crunch, the beefy 5-layer burrito and a mt. dew baja blast. Yum!
I've never seen anyone so excited for Taco Bell and I'm all here for it!
Especially one that's a 4 hour round trip. In the US, it'd be 2 hours of really contemplating your life's decisions up to that point with the 2 hour trip back to your bathroom's untimely demise.
Every year for the NBA draft, my Dad picks up a giant Taco Bell order for our house. It’s becomes a tradition. Taco Bell isn’t necessarily the highest in quality, but as far as some late night fast food goes when you’re hungry, it’s some of the best in America. Especially those 2 AM runs haha! Great video NZ Family! Love from New Jersey in the United States!
I worked at Taco Bell in high school, so I definitely had my fill of trying everything there. I still eat it time to time as an adult. My favorite thing to get at Taco Bell is 5 layer burrito or a chalupa. Love your guys videos! Hello from Missouri!
When I worked there in the mid 90's , I got a kick out of the fact that the boxes of meat said PRODUCT OF AUSTRALIA, it often made me think of kangaroo meat ...
Long live the 5 layer burrito!
@@kennethearlwigglesworth6034 Now it's ground up human meat.
I live in Texas and I love TacoBell, they also stay open really late.
Haven’t even finished the video but that photo of the family on the front is priceless. You are all so perfectly posed. It brought a smile to my face! Good luck too you. I’ll be watching more!
For Denzi: If it's too spicy for you, get a side of sour cream either for dipping or order it on your tacos. Sour cream takes the heat down. It's common to make this adjustment for any spicy food for kids or adults who don't care for the spice.
Eat the spice and get used to it. The spice is life.
@@jovetj Just shut up. They will get used to it......that's the whole point.
The fact that you got everything you ordered automatically makes that Taco Bell better than any American Taco Bell. Haha
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂 so true! They screwed up my Cool Ranch Doritos tacos. I don’t think I’ve ever got out of there with the out one thing being wrong. 😂
Check out the story of how he stole the recipe on how to cook Mexican food and never gave credit to them
Yeah generalize every Taco Bell in America, you’re really smart. Without America the world wouldn’t have any fast food
@@drummersnare6276 um.. the world would be a better place without fast food so is that defending the fact we are a group of fat lazy individuals?
Goodness gracious, your family is so pure, the true ideal genuine happy family. It's almost too taboo for these times. I mean this is now a rare truth. Congratulations guys, you've won in this game of life.🙂
Yum! Taco Bell. It's a favorite for me. Nachos Bellgrande is my go to. Glad to see you all enjoying the Bell.🔔🌮💜
This was too cute y’all. Taco Bell is late night drunk food here in the states but now I’ll start thinking of it as authentic American cuisine 😂 Also something that is a MUST at Taco Bell is the Baja Blast Mountain Dew. If they ever offer that you should try it!
That is ALLLL my brother drinks. He loves his Baja blast.
Baja Blast is the only soda I get from TB. They don’t have it anywhere else in Hawaii, not even in cans. Only found it once at Walmart.
Agreed!
As an American, I grew up taking two things for granted: Taco Bell and the idea that the rest of the world had nothing but contempt for anything or anyone American. Saw this video and thought "What a nice wholesome family, with such a charming accent, and they don't hate Americans!" Well I just had to subscribe.
Edit: And now I have a craving for a burrito supreme.
Just watched the video at 2am in a small town with my Taco Bell closed. I'm suffering!
Or a chicken Crunchwrap 😋
@@jonathanlantzy7526 Watching at 1am in the country. Eating whatever I can get my hands on at the moment, but it's not quite doing it! I'd like some Nacho fries or Nachos bell grande please!
Mexican pizza!!!
Contempt? And how many countries outside the U.S. have you been to, to come to that conclusion? Most of Europe and even parts of the middle east loved Americans, but usually because they think you'll spend more. So I'm real curious...last place I visted was Portugal and the UAE and it was nothing but love.
What a fun family! I’m in my 60s and grew up with Taco Bell. When I was young and had no money, it was a very affordable meal. Pintos and cheese (with mild sauce) was probably close to an 8 ounce serving in a paper cup for 69¢ in the mid-seventies. Now, it’s maybe three ounces. Taco Bell is a commercial fast food. Some folks say it’s not real Mexican food, due to the processed nature of the products. My favorite is a Mexican street taco - two 4” corn tortillas, with seasoned beef, onions and cilantro. We make these at home, though a lot of restaurants here in California have their own version. I buy the Taco Bell mild sauce by the bottle from the grocery store, add cheese and that mild sauce to my street tacos. Try it, you’ll love it!
I remember the 29 cent regular Tacos at Taco Bell in the 1960s and early 1970s. Now about $1.79 each.
