The 5 layer burrito is the king of Taco Bell, but a few months ago they raised the price by nearly 50% and turned it into a premium item, which really killed it for most people. Fortunately they still include it in half of their $5 boxes, though those aren't usually that great of a deal unless you actually want a drink. Get your 5 layer (or any other burrito) grilled, and if you use the app you can add onions and red sauce at no extra charge. The best current $5 box is the nacho fries box. Switch the hard taco for an al fresco soft shell and add a few fries with some of the cheese sauce to it; their pickled jalapenos are kind of sweet and go pretty well, but aren't worth the price, so just add your own. Outside of a $5 box the tacos aren't worth the price, and the dorito tacos just taste like salt, so avoid those. I don't really like when they do a special item that's premium priced and not dollar menu, but the reaper ranch fries burrito (pic related) is actually pretty good. I'd usually advise to avoid steak and potatoes at Taco Bell, but somehow this works. Try all the sauces and inevitably you'll realize that fire is the only one you want or need.
