A craveable taco has to check a few important boxes to hit the spot.
For me, those are well-seasoned beef, a good, sturdy shell, a fresh
element, and cheese that brings it all together. Taco Bell's new
Crispy Melt Taco, which just became available today, delivers all that
plus a unique twist on the shell.

After a successful test run in Alabama, the Crispy Melt Taco has been
deemed worthy of a limited-time stint nationwide. This one is
different from all the other tacos on the menu because it comes on a
crispy, white corn tortilla that is fried in-house daily—and it has an
overload of cheese.

So what's in it? Your choice of beef or black beans, shredded lettuce
and tomatoes, and a boatload of cheese. It features Taco Bell's
signature three-cheese blend and nacho cheese melted at the base, plus
more shredded cheddar cheese on top. Bonus: All this for only $2.49.

==================================

I think a taco from a Mexican-inspired fast food place like Taco Bell
or Del Taco should top out at 99 cents, frankly.

I can see an actual Mexican tacc costing more, though.

Like this Cochinita Pibil Taco

Because to make cochinita pibil, you’ll need a whole suckling pig. It
is traditionally slow cooked in an underground oven called a pib —
hence the name cochinita pibil. This Yucatan food delicacy is both
marinated and cooked in a mixture of naranja agria (sour orange) and a
spice called achiote (pronounced ah-she-oh-tay AKA annatto), two
flavors unique to the Yucatan.

Or if you don't want to go to Mexico,

from the El Primo Tacos Truck in L.A.
Now THOSE are some $1 tacos!
