Taco Bell : On the Grid

Taco Bell isn’t just a fast food joint, it's a dependable best friend at 1 a.m.

Let’s talk about the Crunchwrap Supreme, the crown jewel of the Taco Bell menu. A warm, toasty tortilla folded into a perfect hexagon, the contrast of textures? Sublime. The portability? Genius. It’s basically a full meal folded into a single bite, and it never lets you down. But no trip to Taco Bell is complete without a Baja Blast. Specifically, a Baja Blast Freeze because it's perfectly designed to wash down a beefy five-layer burrito or any meal tbh.

Can we take a moment to appreciate Nacho Fries?

Crispy, golden fries dusted with spices, served with that iconic warm nacho cheese sauce? They're only here for a limited time every few months, which makes them even more crave-worthy.

Personally? I always order them with sour cream or avocado ranch on the side. Trust me, it changes everything.

And while we’re on the topic of cravings: can we talk about how legendary it would be if UIC had its own Taco Bell? Imagine walking out of lecture, starving and tired, and boom Crunchwrap within reach. No buses. No waiting 45 minutes for delivery. late night satisfaction on demand perfect for finals. It would be more than just a food option it’d be a campus landmark. A Taco Bell in Student Center East or near the ARC? Absolute game-changer.

Taco Bell belongs on campus. It belongs in our chaotic schedules, our group project breaks, and our late-night recovery meals. Someone please call the university board we need this. It’s budget-friendly bliss, and it hits different when you’re tired, stressed, and just want something yummy.

So here's to the Crunchwrap, Baja Blast and Nacho fries!

And here’s to one day, hopefully soon, having a Taco Bell right here at UIC.
