Taco bell XXL Chalupa VS KFC Double Down

Sign in to disble this ad
Bread: Chalupas was flat.
Double down did not have any

Chicken:
Double down had two peices of moderatley slimey fried chicken
Chalupa had none

Beef: See above but reverse it.

Bacon: None on Chalupa, available as an option
Double down: Standard

Sauce: Present on both, necessary on neither

Verdict:
Both fantastic, but once again the Double Down remains the most ludicrous and delicious example of Fast Food gluttonous Glory. RIP Double Down (not sure about wher you live, but our KFC doesn't seem to have them anymore).

Had the XXL Chalupa. It was OK. Not much different that the regular one. No problem finishing it and I'm not a big eater.

Don't think I'll try the DoubleDown. I'm not a big fan of the Colonel, with his wee beady eyes.

I can't deal with more than one taco's worth of TB "beef." I don't see myself ever trying the XXL Chalupa, unless they offer it in steak or chicken.

The Double Down is actually pretty decent, though. Too salty, but otherwise not the worst thing I've ever eaten at a fast food chain.

THe XXL Chalupa was as tasty as Taco bell tends to be, and just big enough that one is almost enough in terms of filling one up (I can't eat more than one of any item on their menu in one sitting)

The double down is rivaled only by the spicy baconator, both of which have sadly passed on now.

Oh, and only the fried DD. The roasted one was kind of bleh.

OOOH! Didn't know there was a chicken one. I sent my ol' lady to get my Chalupa, and she just got the beef one. There may be a rematch tomorrow!

Thanks MJ, I missed that orignally

For shame, that man was an American hero. My Godmother met him on a plane once. Apparently he was a little senile, but he did dress very much like the picture.

I'd have to go with the XXL chalups, though I havent had either one. The chalupa wins for me becuase I can make it 'veg' by getting beans instead of meat like I do on most items at TB (this also makes Taco Bell much more tolerable).

Wait...

No. I guess not. I thought I did, but actually, I don't care.
