Taco Bell

What was I, an avid Yelper doing in a Taco Bell drive through this afternoon?  I was trying the new Cantina Chicken Burrito Bowl that has been getting so much attention so that I could come back and review it on Yelp. I had seen the commericals featuring Chef Lorena Garcia implying that this bowl was opening the door to a new era of "upscale fast food" at Taco Bell.  When I opened up the bowl the first thing I noticed was that everything was kind of pale.  The tomatos were a very light pinkish red color and the chicken was very white instead of looking grilled.  However I stirred the guacamole in a bit and dug in.  In terms of taste it was surprisingly pleasant.  The guacamole was tasty and I picked up hints of cilantro.   However, both the rice and the chicken were fairly mushy.  If I were to compare this to Taco Bell's other items I would say that it is better by leaps and bounds.  However, it still hasn't crossed the bridge to being "upscale fast food".
